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. Say good-bye
to DEATHTONGUE, as they are pushed from the coveted top team spot by the
HARDTIMESINBABYLON stable. Hey everybody, watch out for CMOT DIBBLER, who flew up 20
points in the rankings after mashing BULMA like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy.
Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. CRYSOPHASE was defeated
by FLINT HILLS and drops 9 points. Unlike most arenas, HUMOROUS WHIM managed to get
his challenge off against the 0-0-0 STONE GOLEM. The crowds were amazed this turn,
as STONE GOLEM killed the Duelmaster, HUMOROUS WHIM, leaving CLEVER LINGO in
mourning. This incredible death has allowed, I might add, COURIER from
HARDTIMESINBABYLON to ascend to the throne of Duelmaster, and I hear DARK ARENA is
not happy. Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd!
Here is other news that is of note.
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Well, the arena is no place for
slow learners (and hopefully T.P.s) and CMOT DIBBLER demonstrated that very violently
on BULMA's body. Ask not the elves for counsel, for they will say both yes and no.
Silly buggers, eh?
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in ARDIVENT have no
sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some
tracks. Hasta la bye-bye. (Loud choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown

PERSONAL ADS
Humorous Whim -- It was my humor and whim that you should have the throne now,
because I'm off to retirement. I've got lots of fun things to do, none of which
involve attacking somebody who's attacking me back. -- Ol' Joe
Opurt -- Heck. You took me out in fine style, sir. -- Vanice
Troll Enforcer -- Since you are not, in fact, a troll, I figure you must enforce
trolls somehow. But the question in my mind is, "How?" And also, "Why?" And
finally, a piece of advice, fight someone else next time, because I might not be such
a... Gneiss Guy
Rincewind -- Fall off the Edge, why don't you? Or else I'll just sew you up. --
Bernina Collin
CMOT Dibbler -- Oh, hey, lots of great skills! Thanks. -- Flint Hills
Binkly -- How about a hand or two of poker on the Shuttle between here and the Isle,
eh? -- Ol' Joe
Technogeek -- I hope the arrival of The Disc does not result in the loss of all your
other teams here. My understanding was that the "multiple teams" thing only applied
to moving in teams from closed arenas. -- Leeta and Master Cho, slightly confused on
this issue
Yamcha -- Well, doggy. I couldn't dodge enough. -- Dodger
Thanks Veteran Mercenary! Now I can leave the arena. My stats are
9/12/7/13/17/13/13, Exp Atk, AEX Dec & Rip. They say I like the fist, but that seems
foolish. Oh well, since I'm retiring, it doesn't matter. Bye everyone! -- Veers
Bulma -- You are fast, but Purple Sash win again. You teach well too! -- Purple Sash
Chi-Chi -- Sorry about the beat down, kiddo, but I wanted to leave on a happy note!
-- Binkly
Vanice -- Hey, I beat ya fer once. -- Opurt
Gneiss Guy -- Ummm, Huh? -- T E.
Bernina -- Oh man, I gotta run even faster! -- Rincewind
Flint Hills -- Oy, bad luck for you, kid. Ya wanna sausage? -- CMOT Dibbler
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.

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!

An Announcement Concerning the Brotherhood of the Blade Alliance:
I have chosen to withdraw my membership from the Brotherhood of the Blade
alliance. The years I have spent in the alliance have been the best of my DM career.
I leave the alliance with many great friends and will always remain close to my
former brethren.
The Brotherhood of the Blade will not skip a beat without my membership. It
remains in very capable hands and its roster is among the strongest in the game.
With the return on some of its founding members to DM, I know the BOB will continue
to grow in strength and prestige in the years to come. -- The Sandman
