SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report. Sit
back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis. Hey everybody,
watch out for HEATHER GRAHAM, who flew up 19 points in the rankings after mashing
REMORSE like a melon. Keep your eye on this gal. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay
to walk out on the sands. REMORSE was subdued by HEATHER GRAHAM and drops 16 points.
Well, everybody's pal RIBSPLITTER moved his record to 17-16-1 by defeating STILTZ in
the Duelmaster's Title Bout and gaining 4 recognition points. Can you believe they
are paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff?
Here is other news that is of note.
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! Knowing when to use the right tactics at the proper time
is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.
Well, there's the manager of the VEASTIAN giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). Okay, so I may not be the world's
best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. And remember, you
can pick your friends and you can pick your--(loud boos), oh, you've heard that one
already!-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Rapture -- Somehow, I never thought of "rapture" as being a pawn of hell. Am I
missing something? -- Tiro Cuckoo
P.S. What I mean is, am I missing some really quality, wicked rapture? Is there
more than the garden variety, ordinary, "rainbows-and-fireworks" rapture?
Ribsplitter -- But you only spilt one, for which restraint I thank you. -- Stiltz
Angela Meadors -- So! You have trifled with my teammate, Rolkern, who is young and
naive, and now you would trifle with me? In the arena you may do whatever you can
get away with, but outside the arena... (narrowed eyes) you may do only what others
will ALLOW you to get away with. -- Vahnzur
Regret -- Sharper than a serpent's tooth, indeed. But I cast you aside! I will
regret nothing, except that life is so short! -- Tiranian
P.S. Well, actually, I hope it won't be short at all. That's the whole point of
being a gladiator.
Heather Graham -- I TRIED to be polite, the way my mother said I should. And then
you had to go burying me in the sand! Well! That tells me what you are NOT, which
is you're not a LADY. -- Rolkern

Battle Royal 4
The Battle Royal arena contests are one of the purest tests of manager skill
available. The rules are simple. The scoring is simple. The updates are live. If
you would like to participate, simply get a team ready in Talcama in the next month
and announce in the personals that you're in. The prize is bragging rights and
having your name along side previous winners (Doc Steele, Manray Frothingslosh, and
Manager). It is a brutal contest, but it is a lot of fun!
Basic rules: No avoiding other contest teams. Score = Wins + Kills - Losses.
Only fights against other BR teams count. First team to 25 wins!
BR4 begins in Talcama (DM 18) on turn 502, due on Jan 29, 2005.
