SPY REPORT
Oh, hi. Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte. Thought I'd check out ZENSU to see
what's new. Too bad, BEYOND THE PALE, but AS FAR AS SIAM was just too good to be
stopped. MVP award for PHANTASMAGORIA? AS FAR AS SIAM's proud of him after beating
BLONDE GRENADE and getting 15 points. Talk about yer major upsets! BLONDE GRENADE's
match with PHANTASMAGORIA cost her a loss of 12 points! Don't you think the
Duelmaster is being unfair? I think SPECTRUM should let CONVICTED ASSASSIN be
Duelmaster for a while, without fighting about it. I hear the top team insists all
their warriors get nine hours sleep. They want photogenic fighters for PR photos.
I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies. Really, I just
wing this stuff. BEYOND THE PALE was the most avoided team. Is a 342-507-12 record
really that scary? I don't know what AS FAR AS SIAM's been doing. They certainly
haven't been accepting many fights from BEYOND THE PALE, that's fer sher.
What does a fighter fight for? I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone
gets killed. Not after four more fights. What if they had a fight and nobody showed
up? I'd be out of a job, that's what!!!
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I gotta leave. ZENSU is like such a dump, and you guys smell too much! Its
been really albendranius! Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Huckle Cat -- Welcome back! As you can see Duelmasters (I hate the Duel2 name)
newsletters and role-playing have changed a lot since you were here last. I'm not
active here right at this moment, but have run The Urge or Taco Gods stable fairly
consistently over the last 15 years. I'll be back sometime over the next couple
months to keep you company. If you haven't yet, check out the newsletters and other
stuff at RSI's website and look for some of the other DM related resources out there.
-- The Sentinel, mgr. Taco Gods
Okay, I'm late with these. Sue me. -- Leeta, Beyond the Pale
P.S. Or better yet, write denunciatory personals.
Spectrum -- You're anti-Shewish, aren't you? Don't bother to deny, Fratsfans are
famous for their anti-Shewishness. Heck, your ancestors and mine fought a WAR over
it. Oh, well. -- Arnie El Shew
P.S. Besides, I didn't really want to write a Duel2Dude's column.
Phantasmagoria -- Uh...huh. Okay. You mean as in, "the idea that I (meaning me)
might win a fight here is phatasmagorical"? Well, what can I say. I was there, I
fought, I lost. Way it goes sometimes. -- Jenipher
P.S. Learning four skills is good. Always.
Piston Hurricane -- What, one of Ivan's pups? Get away from me! -- Blonde Grenade
P.S. A Shew shouldn't be that short. You're a freak. I always get hives around
freaks, so stay away from me, okay?
People seem DETERMINED to foist this Orc onto us. We don't have ROOM for an Orc in
our guildhouse, and we can't BEGIN to afford to feed him. -- Dark Lenora
That Dangerous Criminal mugged me right there in the arena! I call that unfair! --
O. Poste
You know, I find all this harping on the appetites of Orcs to be really old. Rude.
And not accurate. Sure, we've got enormous appetites for some things. Who doesn't?
But food is only incidental. It just fuels the other appetites. Which Dark Lenora
could satisfy, if she would unbend a little.... -- Farnok Bogg, an Orc but only
nominally captured
Bella Lugosi -- Somehow, I thought you'd be taller. -- O. Poste
P.S. And the thing with changing faces every few seconds--weird! Very disturbing to
your opponent. I.e., me. Not to mention that Arenamaster Diego seemed a little
disturbed by it all, too.
Veteran Mercenary -- So, what are you a veteran of? Running an animal shelter?
Quite a respectable job, running an animal shelter. But how does it fit you for
fighting in the arena? -- Arnie El Shew
Piston Hurricane -- You realize we're BOTH too short to be decent Shews? We've
probably got a lot of growing to do yet, or else the Commission has made one of their
more glaring errors. Which, do you think? -- Jenipher
Phantasmagoria -- I see that the tales of Dwarven stamina are true. Well done! --
Dark Lenora
P.S. And also the ones about short men trying harder.
Vanchen d'Arens, Userous Merchant -- Well, has anyone found your assets yet? Should
we get up a treasure hunt? It might be, you know, fun. -- Blonde Grenade
Huckle Cat -- And a hail and hello back at you. -- Leeta, Beyond the Pale, and
usually reliable with personals, despite the absence of them last time
Arnie El Shew -- Disgusting, I call it! Passing on OUR combat secrets to the Shews!
Next thing you know, we'll be having another Fratsfan-Shewish war. -- Sinjanos
Thropian, Veteran of many other wars and frankly tired of them
