SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, KATI-TEI? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Of course, we're all terribly impressed
to see LORIMINA win a fight and gain 15 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, LORIMINA beat
JABALI JUNHAO and JABALI JUNHAO lost 12 points. You're breakin' my heart. And if
variety is the spice of life, KATI-TEI may be getting bland, as REIGN OF BLADES stays
top dog in the city. I'm not in a very good mood today, but why am I telling you
this? You want to know what's new, don't you, KATI-TEI?
My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start
talking.' I loved that woman. WANDERERS, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were
this turn's most avoided team. Care to know who is the most afraid of you? And who
led the way in this mass act of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was
THE PLAGUE. Ha ha ha ha! Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, TERRPONE was this turn's
most challenged warrior. Watch that ego swell, sports fans. Looks like time for
laurels or hemlock, VALGARD was challenged by ZING FREGADO, who was ranked 27 points
below him. Not that I'm surprised or anything, but ZING FREGADO was beat by VALGARD,
leaving the latter lower for recognition points.
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines
through use. Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.
There's got to be a better place in KATI-TEI to get a drink than The Warty Toad!
Any suggestions? Phlllt! Just had to do that before I leave the fine city of
KATI-TEI. I feel much better now. Glad to see the back of this place-- Snide

PERSONAL ADS
Lorimina -- You can't beat me. I stop lightning for a living. -- Parar Rayos
Terrpone -- That's about as even a fight you can get. I'd say we're evenly matched.
-- Jabali Hunhao
Raise the Abyss -- No no, don't raise the abyss. That's dangerous. I'll do what's
needed to stop you. -- Jacoso Junhao
Blinded by Knowing -- I wish all my opponents were blind. -- Zing Fregado
Jabali Junhao -- Er, ah. Hmm. My teammates tell me that I "needed" that loss, that
an undefeated record would be a dangerous thing to retain. I'd've liked to try,
though. -- Terrpone
Parar Rayos -- I'll probably get a sunburn, you know. And it'll be YOUR fault. --
Lorimina
Reign of Blades -- Gods, you're a slippery little thing! But at least I made you
work for that win. -- Rambling Ox, frankly admiring
An elbow smash to the KNEE? Nobody told me the Kung-Fu Master is also a
contortionist. -- Frandin
I just don't know what to make of this Honest Merchant guy. Is he honest, thus can't
make enough as a merchant that he has to fight in the arena too? Or is he an "Honest
John" type whose honesty is...debatable? -- Valgard
Reaper -- This is true. And it's too hot for this stuff. Somebody needs to clean it
up. -- Leeta
Reign of Blades -- Do you suppose if I got out the umbrella, it would rain? The
farmers would like that. -- Rambling Ox
P.S. (blushing and drawing patterns in the dust with his toe) Dinner? With me?
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.
