SPY REPORT
I was going on vacation, see? Surf, sun... But what do those bums say? "Hit
the road, Debby Tonte. VEASTIAN needs a spyreport." Oh, well. MVP award for ROY!
ROY! ROY!? HEADHUNTERS' proud of him after beating TIRANIAN and getting 17 points.
Talk about yer major upsets! TIRANIAN's match with ROY! ROY! ROY! cost him a loss of
7 points! Don't you think the Duelmaster is being unfair? I think DISMAY should let
STILTZ 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.
Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right? HELL'S PAWNS was VEASTIAN's most
avoided team. Is there some award for that? Is there some deep dark secret why
HEADHUNTERS' been avoiding HELL'S PAWNS so much? Or is it just that they're too
scared? Like, is WOUNDBRINGER popular, or what? He was challenged the most in all
of VEASTIAN! He's got a 10-9-0, is that good?
What does a fighter fight for? I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone
gets killed. Not after four more fights. Hey you guys, don't you think your
families would like to hear from you? Write! (Or have someone write for you.)
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I gotta leave. VEASTIAN is like such a dump, and you guys smell too much! I
had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

Woundbringer -- Well, don't bring it HERE. I don't have TIME for that stuff today.
Cheese. -- Vahnzur

On Jhans turn number 476 (due on Feb. 16, 2005) the Second Annual kLk St. Valentine's
Massacre Kill Contest will begin. The rules are simple; the team with the most kills
on the last turn wins. Last year's winner was Shocking Toad. Can he repeat? Could
DOOMcorps crush all challengers? Will the kLk prevail? Or will you be the
independent manager to show that alliances aren't all that? Come on to Jhans and
let's find out!
Prizes are: 1st. Renaming of a Dark Arena monster and five roll-up
certificates or $25.00 deposited in your account.
2nd. Renaming of a Stand-In monster.
Come on and celebrate the Delarquan way!
