SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report. Sit
back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis. Say good-bye
to EAGLES CLAW, as they are pushed from the coveted top team spot by the BOY O'S
stable. It was a tough week for EAGLES CLAW, to drop 4 places in the rankings. Hey
everybody, watch out for FRANKEN FELINE, who flew up 20 points in the rankings after
mashing EMBEZZLING SCRIBE like a melon. Keep your eye on this beast. Well here's a
duelmaster that doesn't sit back and say 'Challenge me'! BOB, ETERNAL, made a
challenge against KORRIBIE this week. Going for the gusto and coming up with aught
but bloody knuckles was JINDA-BAN's KORRIBIE, who was turned away from the
Duelmastership by BOB, ETERNAL,. Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to
deliver this stuff?
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the CLIFFHOME arena. And
hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid FIRE DECK, please raise you hand. Wow.
Does CLIFFHOME really have that many liars? Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch
SANDS OF TIME's act in the arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running
from FIRE DECK. Well just about everybody wants a piece of KORRIBIE, who was this
week's most challenged warrior. In a touching display by a 'touched' warrior, D'ARK
CATAAN went after HARANDUR, who was higher by 21 points. Well, when the dust
settled, D'ARK CATAAN beat HARANDUR.
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! Knowing when to use the right tactics at the proper time
is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.
Well, there's the manager of the CLIFFHOME giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). Okay, so I may not be the world's
best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. See ya next time
I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Dark Typhlosion -- I ought to have you SHOT! You should be hung up by your toes!
Gods, men have NO consideration! I just don't have TIME to graduate this month. Do
you know how much hassle that involves? Finding a replacement and getting Nick's
okay. Arranging the catering for the party. Buying a new wardrobe, because I canNOT
wear these same old things on the ISLE. More stuff than that, but I don't even want
to THINK about it. And all in two weeks? Not possible. -- Korribie
P.S. I just won't GO.
P.P.S. Morning star? That's INSANE. I NEVER get up before ten, and not till noon
if I can help it.
It's not my fault the Orc threw himself under my bumper. I did try to stop. --
Runabout
P.S. It's only some ribs. He'll be okay after a little time in the body shop.
Tettnanger -- Every time I face you, I'm thrown off by the fact that you're a guy.
An elf, but still, a guy. For some reason, I keep expecting you to be a bird. A
Scarlet Tettnanger, you know? It's confusing. -- Dingil Bill, who may have been
spending too much time with Runabout
The Userous Merchant is not cut out for gladiation. He would do well to stick to his
usery, at which he is...no, if he was SKILLED at it, he wouldn't get caught, would
he? So why...? Who...? Hmm, I scent a mystery here. Good thing curiosity is not a
problem with me. -- Harandur
Waldo -- No! You can't mean it--I could NOT have been defeated by...no.... (sobs
lightly) They told you my weakness, didn't they? How I couldn't resist men like
you.... (whimpers pitifully) Nooooo.... -- Ballou Ys
Tettnanger -- How awful! But maybe if you feed her ENOUGH beer, you can have cake.
Worth a try! -- Harandur

Battle Royal 4
The Battle Royal arena contests are one of the purest tests of manager skill
available. The rules are simple. The scoring is simple. The updates are live. If
you would like to participate, simply get a team ready in Talcama in the next month
and announce in the personals that you're in. The prize is bragging rights and
having your name along side previous winners (Doc Steele, Manray Frothingslosh, and
Manager). It is a brutal contest, but it is a lot of fun!
Basic rules: No avoiding other contest teams. Score = Wins + Kills - Losses.
Only fights against other BR teams count. First team to 25 wins!
BR4 begins in Talcama (DM 18) on turn 502, due on Jan 29, 2005.
