                                      SPY REPORT

     I was going on vacation, see?  Surf, sun...  But what do those bums say?  "Hit 
the road, Debby Tonte.  KATI-TEI needs a spyreport."  Oh, well.  MVP award for 
CHERICILLE?  WANDERERS' proud of her after beating VETERAN MERCENARY and getting 19 
points.  Talk about yer major upsets!  RAMBLING OX's match with AMBITIOUS GUARD cost 
him a loss of 19 points!  Oh, wow, like the Duelmaster must be the most popular guy 
in all KATI-TEI.  He got the most challenges.  (But what about proposals?) Was that a 
tear I saw in BRICKUS MAXIMUS' eye, as he took over Duelmastership?  And wasn't SWAN 
fit to be tied!  Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to his teammates?  Don't 
ask me!   
     Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right?  THE PLAGUE was the most avoided 
team.  Is a 202-197-12 record really that scary?  Hhmph!  What kind of warriors are 
BIRDS?  THE PLAGUE, an easy team to beat if I ever saw one, can't get them to accept 
an invitation!   
     What does a fighter fight for?  I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone 
gets killed.  Not after four more fights.  Fight, fight, fight.  Is that all you guys 
can do?   
     Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain.  Soak it in cold water, and hand 
wash.  I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really should stop.  I had 
a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

I have deep suspicions of the Happy Peasant.  Wide, fixed grin, blank eyes, very
strange.  What has he been smoking?  Or perhaps more disturbing but possible, who has
been wearing his body? -- Chericille

I consider my loss to the so-called Virginal Concubine to be the result of some kind
of mystical curse.  She has obviously been pursuing unhallowed cults and deriving
inhuman skills therefrom!  And (shudder) if she's truly "virginal," in the fullest
meaning of that word, I'll...hmm, I'll eat an octopus!  There's something about her
that is just...wrong.  Profoundly wrong. -- Quinore
P.S.  And no true virgin would dress like that or, having done so, remained a virgin.

The Ruthless Jaywalker glibbered and meeped at me!  Gods, it was disgusting!  In a
decent universe, such a creature would not be suffered to exist. -- Valgard

Well, after Valgard got done with it, the Ruthless Jaywalker wasn't much of a
challenge.  Grotty, but not so dangerous. -- Rambling Ox

Do not buy the wares of the Honest Merchant!  Take note of the strange shape of his
turban, and his abnormally short feet!  He is not one you would wish to deal with,
even for the finest rubies in the known and unknown worlds. -- Forandin
P.S.  And he has a very peculiar smell.

Forandin -- I have warned you, foolish youth, against attempting to gain my wares
without proper...payment.  Bid farewell to those peoples and places you cherish, and
be quick about it, for you will soon be traveling...elsewhere. -- an Honest Merchant
and Nobody's Fool

20 April 2007
All -- I've been...out of circulation for the last couple of months, and my lists
are not up to date.  If you've announced a manager name, a new alliance, or changed
a manager name or alliance since the middle of February, let me know in the ads, via
diplo, or in an e-mail (Sue (at) solberg-mathews (dot) com).  For that matter, if
you just want to make sure I've got things right, you can always do the same. -- The
Saint, keeper of lists
