SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in RODEKI this turn, and let's start
with a look at some of the teams. And let's see, ANVIL fought CULT MEMBER and gained
15 points and contributed to DELVERS' 2-3-0. KARMIC KUDZU has lost to VEAL CHOP,
falling 9 points, while helping make COLOR ME SUAVE a 0-1-0 turn. The attempts to
dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and NO PAIR remains RODEKI's top warrior for
another turn. By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped
under the table at The Welcome Wench?
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one. DELVERS has cause to stand tall, as
they were RODEKI's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat.
And avoiding DELVERS more than any other team we find VENETIAN CINQUE. RODEKI, are
we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their
enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered rude.
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. Well, I'm burning daylight here in RODEKI and I've a long road
ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until you see my quill in RODEKI again, farewell--

PERSONAL ADS
Karmid Kudzu -- Finally, someone I can learn skills from. -- Suicide King
Joseph George -- Now that was a good fight. Congratulations. -- OEJ
Khulbadd -- Weren't you like 4-1 a while back? What are you resisting?... The urge
to win? -- Suicide King
Is big and stupid the only thing we get here in Rodeki any more? Or are the
randomizer gods pissed at me? (comment from Scribe to follow.) -- the Dealer
(requested comment) Big and stupid seems common here these days.
Suicide King -- It's a new strategy: Withhold Skills. Doesn't always work, but
deeply satisfying when it does. -- Jurgenhalen
P.S. Actually, all I can do is be a horrible example. I don't have much in the way
of skills to teach.
Dealer -- Such a sweet-talker! -- Khulbadd
Deep Blu -- Well, that's ONE place I won't be eating. Bleh. -- Khulbadd
No Pair -- Over my head, I don't even have a high card. -- Jurgenhalen
One Eyed Jack -- I stayed on your blind side. -- Joseph George
Fogo -- Huh? -- Rocksnail, not one of the great thinkers
Denny's -- Not my first choice, but not the last one, either. -- Anvil
