SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
ZENSU brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Of course, we're all terribly
impressed to see JENIPHER win a fight and gain 12 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, JIMMY
CRICKET beat ARNIE EL SHEW and ARNIE EL SHEW lost 8 points. You're breakin' my
heart. And if variety is the spice of life, ZENSU may be getting bland, as PISTON
HURRICANE stays top dog in the city. Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how
else do you think some of these guys win their fights? Skill? Ha!
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.
What's the big D? MEN OF 1,000 FACES was the most avoided team? Bunch of lily
livered... grumble... mumble... curse... And who led the way in this mass act of
cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was AS FAR AS SIAM. Ha ha ha ha!
Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, JENIPHER was this turn's most challenged warrior.
Watch that ego swell, sports fans.
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for ZENSU's
morgue. More variety. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through use.
Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.
What does the ZENSU arena have in common with the inns? It's just as
comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Phlllt! Just had to do that
before I leave the fine city of ZENSU. I feel much better now. I see the crowds are
getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens

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.
