SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly VEASTIAN games. KURESSA D'GEN caught the eye of many
in the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested HAL LASKO and was awarded 14
points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, SOLDIER 3 put down
SJORDHAL, causing him to lose 11 points of recognition in the process. As is
fitting, the most sought after warrior on the challenge boards this week was none
other than Duelmaster THOMAS FOWLER himself. Most watched of the fights this week,
the spotlight was on DRACO EL TANNJN as he bore arms against the challenge of
reigning Duelmaster THOMAS FOWLER. This time victory fell to the grasp of the
usurper. All hail DRACO EL TANNJN, Duelmaster of VEASTIAN! Heed this! A seer has
warned that if exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole city shall perish! Just
remember...5 or 7!
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. VEASTIAN, city of gladiators!
Mighty among the names of thy guilds is TERMAGANT VOTARY, a guild shunned and avoided
by many in the weekly duels. Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it
was that spent the better part of last week avoiding TERMAGANT VOTARY. Indeed it was
MEDAL OF HONOR 27.
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the miserable with fortune
but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
The girls are as pretty in VEASTIAN as ever I remembered them....and the
fighters as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of
a far off city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember: a fool
flies into a rage quickly and often. The wise are angered by the same thing only
once. Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Thomas Fowler -- You Medal of Honor guys have sneaked up on us. Time to set things
right. -- Ettore Hsidar
Kuressa D'Gen -- Just one skill? I am disappointed. -- Draco El Tannjn
Soldier 3 -- That's more like it. That's what we want. -- Hal Lasko
Draco el Tannjn -- Bah. -- Kuressa d'Gen
Draco el Tannjn -- Jorja says that was "not conversation." Humbug. What have we to
converse about? Have you read any good books lately? Consumed any bood gooks?
(They do them well at the Harborside Restaurant and School of Fine Gookery.) What
will the hemlines do this year, do you think? See, no conversation. -- Kuressa d'Gen
Soldier 2 -- When you're number two, you're supposed to try harder. -- Sjordhal
P.S. But it's okay if you'd rather not. This works for me.
Soldier 4 -- Huh! See if I ever teach you four skills again! -- Ghost of Toranj
P.S. Too bad I couldn't have been killed by a Termagant, they'd appreciate it more.
A Convicted Thief? He deserves everything that happens to him. -- J'Korou
The Beggar was not formidable, or even particularly Persistent. We can do without
him, although we might consider shipping him to our opponents, for instance, to the
Andorians. Let them deal with him. -- Noriltenne
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.
