SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt CLIFFHOME will ever be the same. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for
there are sorrows to drown for FIRE DECK, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 4
into 7th. SANDS OF TIME stable has parlayed this turn's 1-0-0 into a 3 space move up
the rankings. This brings them up to 3rd place. Good work, guys! And let's see,
FUGAZI fought RUNABOUT and gained 26 points and contributed to TEAM FLOYD's 2-0-0.
RUNABOUT has lost to FUGAZI, falling 16 points, while helping make JINDA-BAN a 2-3-0
turn. Defending his title for another turn, BOB, ETERNAL, kept BOY O'S' warrior,
FIGARO, from claiming the throne. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from
unimpeachable sources that The Choking Ogre uses trolls in their stew. Talk about
gristle!
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one.
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover
or hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. Well, I'm burning daylight here in CLIFFHOME and I've a long road ahead of
me. Happy Trails. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the

PERSONAL ADS
Harandur -- Y'know, you may be onto something there. However, it is hard for me to
NOT overlook someone who thinks that proper 'hygiene' is a formal greeting. There
are some things that beer just can't hide, if you know what I mean. -- Tettnanger
Whooooeeey...things are getting pretty slim hereabouts. -- Stimpy
Dingil Bill -- Au contraire. It is easy to make such a mistake though. However, I
am of Noble birth and have little interest in things foul, or fowl. My cousin Saaz
(who I am told is considering exploits in the arena as well) and I are very close.
My likes include flowery fragrant aromas and mildly sweet flavors. My favorite time
of year is Octoberfest and I do love my lagers and ales! -- Tettnanger
Jinda Ban -- Really, we must stop meeting like this. Though, in retrospect, who else
are we really gonna meet out there? -- The Lost Souls
Bob, Eternal -- That's no way to treat a lady protector who may be opening a bar or a
hash house! -- Korribie
D'Ark Cataan -- Sometime I would to expend my efforts on those IDIOTS in the crowd
who yell "you can do it" as I'm being carried out of the arena! Argh! -- Harandur
P.S. And if what they're meaning is that I can walk out on my own, they can just
shut the heck up. Let THEM try walking with wounds in the chest, abdomen, knee,
stomach, and kidneys!
I can't believe that's the first time one of us has fought the Dangerous Criminal in
six months! But he's not on the list, so it must be so. -- Dingil Bill, who dealt
suitably with the criminal regardless
Tettnanger -- Actually, I was NOT going for the kill. That kind of thing has an
adverse effect on my liability insurance. -- Runabout
Waldo -- That wasn't really necessary. -- Ballou Ys

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.
