WANDERERS? Who? CULT OF THE SUN is the top team these days, buddies! Practice pays for ZING FREGADO, who pummelled BLINDED BY KNOWING, to pocket 12 points. Win some, lose some. Speaking of which, JABALI JUNHAO was winsome, after beating TERRPONE and seeing him lose 6 points. Duelmaster DEATH'S DOORMAN from THE PLAGUE is going for the gold, as he Dark Arena Challenged DARK ARENA's STONE GOLEM. Ooh, the excitement! STONE GOLEM found out that KATI-TEI isn't a democracy. You've gotta be the best to be Duelmaster here! So who's the team that's been walking into taverns last week and ordering milk? Sounds like a PR stunt to me. So much to report, so little time! If challenges were horses, BLINDED BY KNOWING could open up a fast food joint! Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors. STONE GOLEM in the Dark Arena wasn't enough for DEATH'S DOORMAN of THE PLAGUE. Maybe that certain serving girl(?) at The Warty Toad will be! Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena. A certain tavern in KATI-TEI would I avoid! All good things must come to an end. Keep those sands bloody and the buzzards fat! Can anything compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for KATI-TEI?

Serious problem.... -- Ghost Red Tenticle P.S. So you sit for 4? Leeta -- Dead bodies everywhere.... -- Reaper Rambling Ox -- I bet you weren't ready for that. You need your umbrella!!! -- Reign of Blades James Doolittle -- I am surprised that William left you alone to take the brunt of that. Surely, this could have ended badly. -- Death's Doorman Nygotha -- Good riddance.... -- Reaper the Frustrated Reign of Blades -- Heck. Well, at least I can be glad the blades raining down on me weren't butcher knives. I'd hate to end up as stew meat. -- Rambling Ox A voice from the stands told the Ambitious Guard he could do it. And the sad thing is, if he hadn't been holding back, as per his contract, he probably COULD do it. Well, sad for him, but I'm not complaining. -- Forandin I didn't actually want to spare the Ruthless Jaywalker's life, but the arenamaster stepped in and insisted. I suppose Jaywalkers that ruthless are hard to come by. Not that I see any reason why we should CARE if we don't see one again. -- Valgard, a.k.a. "School Crossing Guard" Jacoso Junhao -- But what if it rains? -- Terrpone P.S. Sometimes it even rains BLADES around here. Zing Fregado -- Dammit, man, I WOULD have taken the chance to surrender if you had actually GIVEN me one. But you just used it as a window to position yourself for a REALLY NASTY BLOW. Men! -- Lorimina Our congratulations to Death's Doorman. Go open the doors to death on the Isle. -- the Wanderers 9 July 2007 I have not been receiving my physical turns in a reliable manner lately. If there are diplos with the turns that go missing, they're gone for good. So if you send me a diplo and do not see an acknowledgement of receipt in the personals, know that I have not gotten it (yet). If you have email, contact me at Livia AT reality DOT com. If you don't have email, keep trying with the diplos. We are working on this problem. -- the Scribe/Jorja/Leeta P.S. If you email me, put "Re DM" on the subject line.
