SPY REPORT
Oh, hi. Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte. Thought I'd check out RODEKI to see
what's new. MVP award for ANN ARTICHOKE? DELVERS' proud of her after beating
VETERAN MERCENARY and getting 19 points. Talk about yer major upsets! SOUFFLE
GUFFAW's match with EL RIPPOFF cost it a loss of 9 points! Don't you think the
Duelmaster is being unfair? I think PUDDING PARADE should let RUBBER BUMPER 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. COLOR ME SUAVE was the most avoided team. Is a 220-156-15 record
really that scary? I don't know what CLOWNING AROUND's been doing. They certainly
haven't been accepting many fights from COLOR ME SUAVE, that's fer sher. Can
DELVERS' JOHN ROSE be more popular than me? He was challenged the most, but is that
really the same?
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!!!
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous Spyreporter? I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it
quits. Remember you guys, ease up sometimes! Chill out! Later, Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Snappy George -- (superior look) You tried to snap me, I succeeded in choking you.
Looks good to me. -- Ann Artichoke
Pudding Parade -- Amazing the effect of all that bouncing on you. It smoothed the
lumps very well. But I suspect that another minute or two would have caused you to
curdle. -- Harby
Yankee Dan -- I really enjoy slicing and dicing. Oh, yes, I really do. And you look
very good as julienne strips of dan. -- Sushee Su
The Dangerous Criminal had no business being loose, much less being in the arena with
me! Why did I get a match-up with a standby so far above me in the rankings?
Weren't there any lower standbys around? I should have WON against a standby.
Curses! -- El Rippoff
Souffle Guffaw -- A creme pie in the face is bad enough, a hot, runny souffle is much
worse. Try not to do that again. -- John Rose
If the Unknown Spymaster tells any tales about ME, be warned, they are LIES. -- Ann
Artichoke
Flagg -- Looking forward to your return. Suave and Harby just don't appreciate my
acts. -- Assurnasirbanipal
Fuzzy Buzzcut -- The better warrior obviously won, but my goals are not to be the
better warrior, but to be the better clown. -- Bozo
Sushee Su -- Clearly anger is a problem you have, as evidenced by what I saw in the
arena. If you smile and even laugh, this aggression that you unleashed on me will no
longer consume you. -- Yankee Dan
19 August 2003
Citizens of Ghea (only the ignorant fail to note Lirith Kai is not in Alastari),
no new day is rising, but the sun is setting on just another beautiful evening.
While you were sleeping, an irksome rabble has entered the always fair Aruak City.
Of course they fought alongside our warriors, most not so treasured, as all
gladiators do. They drank with themselves, and slept with themselves. Whether they
had masks, who cares.
Warriors, don't be afraid. For years Aruak has been one of the safest cities in
Ghea, and that custom has been continually cultivated, and will continue to be by
those who have called it home for years and those who live, fight, and die by the
same ethics. There is no contest, nor has there ever needed to be one for many
years. A conflict of personalities has arisen, and the city has been 'invaded' by
pests.
Any rules that are annouced will be purely for the joy of the lemmings' own
little world. Those who are being targeted have no interest in participating except
to defend the integrity of an arena that is different from others. Whether you
choose to come to Aruak, do it for your own reasons, not theirs.
Competing in Aruak City has never been for the faint of heart or the weak willed.
Combat is combat, wherever you go. Blood will flow as always, and now many innocents
will be caught in the middle, but those who defend Aruak's traditions never target
those who bring respect of Aruaki customs with them to our home.
So ignore the private ranting announcement brought by the stuporous
Frothingsloshers. If you choose Aruak City, do not choose it for an unsanctioned and
bogus 'contest', choose it for the tradition. Choose it because Aruak is different.
Defenders of Aruak

To any that care -- The CDC is back; our current roster is:
Malaquar -- Minion of Guardian
Pip the Troll -- Burly Enforcer Type
mouse -- Official Sneaky Bastard
Papa Bear -- Elder Statesmen
The Sealer says, "Hi, I'm the dealer."
Papa Bear says, "It's not my f****n fault."
Guardian -- Paper Figurehead

WE'RE LOOKING FOR A FEW GOOD MANAGERS! If you think you have what it takes to match
wits and blades with some of the best managers in Alastari, then WE WANT YOU! The
Tournament Of The Golden Scrod #4 will begin in Aradi (DM 60) the turn after the Fall
Mail-In. It's not too late for you to sign up. I realize that many of you may be
hesitant after seeing that myself and Hombre have teamed up again, but we'll try to
take it easy on you guys a little bit. For more information on T#%S IV, please
contact me at ganolus@aol.com. We're looking for a few good managers...the few, the
proud, the TOGS!
-- Ganolus Oakleaf, T#%S IV Commish
