SPY REPORT
Good day, in XOCHITHLAN a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets
poor. So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. It seems the training can
make the difference, as CRIMINAL ELEMENT is pushed out of top team by LITERATI, who
came from 2nd with a 4-1-1 this turn. The THE MIDDLE WAY guild has had a 3-0-1 turn
and deserves to be watched in the future. You never know where this kind of thing
can lead. And let's see, QUIA RAYNE fought MS D. MEENER and gained 26 points and
contributed to THE MIDDLE WAY's 3-0-1. MS D. MEENER has lost to QUIA RAYNE, falling
23 points, while helping make CRIMINAL ELEMENT a 1-3-1 turn. Due to its absence and
inability to defend the throne, DUCK A L'ORANGE has lost the title of Duelmaster. We
should ask QUIA RAYNE about the thrill of victory, and what being the new Duelmaster
does for a warrior, she's now the one to ask. By the way, was that our Duelmaster
that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The Welcome Wench?
I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling. A basher
friend of mine assures me this is true. I also notice that the THE MYRMIDON stable
was the most avoided team this turn. Come on XOCHITHLAN, what are you afraid of?
And avoiding THE MYRMIDON more than any other team we find LITERATI. XOCHITHLAN, are
we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? The most challenged warrior this
turn was CRIMINAL ELEMENT's warrior KAHR, JACK. More fighters challenged him than
challenged the Duelmaster!
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. Our condolences go to ZED ARLEN,
posthumously, seeing as THE MIDDLE WAY did not revenge DUCK A L'ORANGE from DUCKS
UNLIMITED for killing ZED ARLEN. A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has
nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
I like this place, XOCHITHLAN, the taverns have old wine, and young serving
girls. Who could ask for more? Well, I'm burning daylight here in XOCHITHLAN and
I've a long road ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until the sun next rises and my pen
sets to paper-- Alarond the Scribe

Idiot Box -- Blrb blrb blrb. Suddenly I feel so dumb.... -- Ghost of Karlo Lench
P.S. Are you sure you weren't supposed to be an Idiot Boy?
P.P.S. Can you be penalized for unnecessary roughness?
Ms D. Meener -- Wow, that was nearly a felony! -- Quia Rayne
P.S. Or a Fell-o-Me? Glad you didn't.
Feyd -- You're literate? How can one tell? -- Opara Persi
P.S. Why didn't you learn anything?
Akram al'Abbas -- I could see that you needed a win to balance all those losses, but
I needed one even more to establish a bias toward winning for my career. So you were
out of luck, as well as ability. -- Belle Cor, the hard-hearted
Sonja -- I wish! -- Ghost of Karlo Lench
Matt Riside -- Magua wake up on wrong side of mattress! Miss Scarlet O'Para Persi --
Your hysteria hit my funny bone, but "frankly my dear, I don't give a damn!" -- Feyd
of Literati (that Mann Slaughter II only respond to you through his lawyer it seems;
yearh, he's cold blooded, no accident)

'em out of turn? -- Snarky, lead literatus (...Rirorni!...get a rope)
Screwge McDuck -- Throw me a *chicken* bone, here!! -- Kurtz of Literate
(...need...more...bones...)
So, even with 7-1...Peking Duck was least popular. No surprise there, eh, Middle
Way? -- The literate Snark (There oughtta be a "booby prize" for that, eh Belle?)
MeeEEOOWWwwrrr...Karlo Lench was lynched...by an idiot savant whose "special talent"
just happened to be slicing lunchmeat. (Starring, "Autists"!) -- Sonja, literatus and
next, tanned Duelmistress (red wig down and flaming in the wind for Karlo)
Yar! The criminal, Kahr, Jack takes the chariot of the Great Snark (again), while I
sleep in our Great Library. Hoodlum! You done dishonor our House in the cowardly
night?! -- Beowulf, Literatus of the Great Hall)
Hail Maelstrom Fury! -- SNARKadmiration (No DUCK will keep you from the throne of
Xochithlan for long I feel)
Kind, sporting Quia -- A book? for me?...A light shines in your heart, woman. How
that must be... -- Kurtz (reading)

ATTENTION ALL YOU ALLIANCE-TYPE PEOPLE:
For the purposes of tourney newsletter alliance listings (when I am able to do them),
you may only be listed in ONE alliance. In other words, you have to choose! If you
are a part of Englebert's Alliance and Englebert's Alliance is "part" of Ruthrauf's
Alliance, I will list you EITHER as part of Englebert's Alliance OR as part of
Ruthrauf's Alliance, NOT both. The default would be the top-level alliance,
Ruthrauf's, in this example. If you'd rather be listed separately, let me know and I
will do so, but that will be the only listing you get. -- The Saint, keeper of ever-
more-complicated lists

The Company of Brothers (TCB) welcomes two new members to our alliance...Liam the
Goth and Buddy Lee. We have no doubt that they will prove to be assets to our
alliance and the general dueling community. -- Baphomet, co-founder, T.C.B.
