SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in
CLIFFHOME. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid! We
now have a new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on. JINDA-BAN now holds the
crown and they are betting they can keep it. Hey everybody, watch out for BALLOU YS,
who flew up 9 points in the rankings after mashing CONVICTED THIEF like a melon.
Keep your eye on this gal. And falling like a basher in the top ten was RUNABOUT,
who dropped 1 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with KUNG-FU
MASTER. Well, everybody's pal BOB, ETERNAL, moved his record to 16-0-0 by defeating
FUGAZI in the Duelmaster's Title Bout and gaining 9 recognition points. An apple a
day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay.
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). Ask not the elves for counsel, for they
will say both yes and no. Silly buggers, eh?
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?). Well, there goes another Spy Report.
Good luck in next week's fights. Its been real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been
real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Fugazi -- Talk about a demolition derby! You smashed my fenders, cracked my
radiator, bent my axle, I can't even begin to list the damage! What my insurance
agent will have to say about this boggles the imagination. -- Runabout
I don't know why everyone gets excited about the Venomous Concubine. She's just a
spiteful little wretch. -- Dingil Bill
P.S. Ugly, too.
Do not buy from the Userous Merchant. Not only are his prices unreasonable, his
goods are of dubious provenance. -- Harandur
P.S. Dead pawn is probably the least of it.
Eagle's Claw (the warrior) -- For a clumsy guy, you're really nasty. -- Ballou Ys
Rocco -- (after several minutes' thought) I hate you. Dumb elf. -- Guhulong
Tettnanger -- That's the trouble with secret admirers. Sooner or later, you find out
why they're keeping themselves a secret. -- Harandur the sympathetic
Tettnanger -- But not roast duck? Too bad, there's a duck down in Xochithlan I've
had my eye on. -- Dingil Bill
Lost Souls -- It's pretty much just us. -- Jinda-Ban

Due to requests, the Turf War IV will be postponed until turn 225 (approx May/June
2005). Sorry about the inconvenience. -- Baphomet, host of TW 4
12 January 2005
On Jhans turn number 476 (due on Feb. 16, 2005) the Second Annual kLk St. Valentine's
Massacre Kill Contest will begin. The rules are simple; the team with the most kills
on the last turn wins. Last year's winner was Shocking Toad. Can he repeat? Could
DOOMcorps crush all challengers? Will the kLk prevail? Or will you be the
independent manager to show that alliances aren't all that? Come on to Jhans and
let's find out!
Prizes are: 1st. Renaming of a Dark Arena monster and five roll-up
certificates or $25.00 deposited in your account.
2nd. Renaming of a Stand-In monster.
Come on and celebrate the Delarquan way!
