SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, CLIFFHOME? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Of course, we're all terribly impressed
to see HARANDUR win a fight and gain 27 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, HARANDUR beat
PAWS and PAWS lost 48 points. You're breakin' my heart. Looks like CLIFFHOME has
some guts at least, RUMAKI the Duelmaster was this turn's most-challenged warrior.
SIR LICKSALOT challenged CLIFFHOME's Duelmaster for a shot at the throne. And it's
out with the old, in with the new, as SIR LICKSALOT takes the Title and last week's
bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. I'm not in a very good mood today, but
why am I telling you this? You want to know what's new, don't you, CLIFFHOME?
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.
Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and
gone, and get to see if their team cared. A big yahoo goes out to HARANDUR this
turn, for revenging JINDA-BAN's bloodfeud against ARENA FELINES' warrior PAWS. Heh,
heh, heh. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is developing
these kinds of weapons?
I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for
an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Phlllt! Just had to do that before
I leave the fine city of CLIFFHOME. I feel much better now. I see the crowds are
getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
Rumaki -- They tell me you have to be the Duel2Dudette this time, which I don't see.
Why couldn't I do it? Not the DudeTTE, but I could be the Dude, couldn't I? But
noooo, they say it's got to be YOU. Bah. So I agreed to it, finally, and THEN they
hit me with the dirty one: You have to WIN to get the title! Gods, was there ever a
warrior so ill-done-by? I'm going to fire my publicist...out of a cannon. Or at
least a trebuchet. -- Harandur the really pissed
P.S. "Any publicity is good publicity"? As if!
But I didn't WANT to fight the Venomous Concubine! I actually feel rather
sympathetic toward her. I mean, *I* know how she ended up in the arena, and believe
me, she was more sinned against than sinning. That guy NEEDED to be poisoned. I'm
just surprised that his blood didn't dissolve the dagger when she stabbed him. --
Ballou Ys
P.S. And, of course, since I was unwilling, I (sigh) lost the fight.
Captured Orc? This is so THRILLING. This guy's probably eleventy-one, and you know
orcs are old at fifty. He's ANCIENT. Mostly blind, barely on his feet, can't even
LIFT his damned sword, though he is a great menace to the toes if he drops it point
down.... That wasn't a fight, it was a travesty. -- Mosquito
Hah, and again (with feeling) HAH! Dangerous Criminal? More like a wimp of some
kind. He just wandered out into the arena, taking his own damned TIME about, and
WHISTLING and GRINNING like he thought he was the gods' gift to somebody, like he
didn't believe there was any WAY he could lose, he was SOOO bad...and I showed him
how WRONG he was. -- Articulate Lori
P.S. And I enjoyed doing it.

Just a reminder to all you online type people. It is much appreciated if you send
your personals in PLAIN TEXT, rather than HTML or formatted text. HAL, in his
infinite wisdom, doesn't DO formatting, which means having to unsnarl your personal
ads from bunches of extraneous...stuff. So, if your e-mailer has a plain text
option, let it be your friend. -- Ed.
P.S. Sometimes it's the formatted text which makes ads go astray. Not often, but
sometimes.
