SPY REPORT
Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day,
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! Practice pays for RUSTED SOUL, who pummelled
PALANTIRIATHALASA, to pocket 15 points. PALANTIRIATHALASA certainly had a baffled
expression on hers face, after losing to RUSTED SOUL and losing 10 points in the
process! Now I can't insult SILVER FURY, as he has gloriously dueled to the top. Oh
great new Duelmaster!!! (Stop me if I lay it on too thick) Word has it one team in
ARDIVENT is using psychics to predict wins. They lead a charmed life!
And how sociable are ARDIVENT's warriors? Come, let us see. Is it charming
personality? Conversational abilities? Good oral hygiene? Whatever it is, SOLARIS
is the most challenged warrior.
The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on... Ask not a spymaster
for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen into an unconscious
stupor.
Do not think spyreporting in ARDIVENT is the highlight of my life. More
important duties call me. Can anything compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports
for ARDIVENT? On that giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Reagan -- You lack the deftness but I will give you the speed and the effective
punch. -- Rusted Soul
Mrs Collin -- Well I was hoping for a more interesting match-up, maybe next time it
will be a little more back and forth. -- Poised
Big Dave -- A slasher and a striker, hmmm, speed is the factor here and not the
skills. -- Eclipse
Valley-Jo -- And yet again we tango, this time it hurt a lot, I think I found my
break point. -- BP
Berke -- One for you and one for me. Let's see how the next challenge goes, best of
luck. -- S Fury.

All Readers -- Due to the pressures resulting from preparing for and dealing with the
Face to Face, no spotlights will be written until it's over. -- the Scribe
17 July 2004
I am currently trying to put together a favorites chart for AD warriors. I
desperately need help with this. What I need are style, favorite rhythm (ex.:
hi/low), favorite weapons, and tactics. What would be great is if you could send me
a copy of the invite with the warrior's name, id#, and arena blacked out. This way,
I can verify that this is an actual warrior. Minis will work, too!
For those interested, I have both a challenge style vs. style and a match-up style
vs. style chart. There's about 250 fights calculated in these charts, and I'll be
happy to send a copy to anyone who asks. You can contact me (if you're a free world
player) at: Rick Stringer, Merit/East, SCI, P.O. Box 500, Georgetown, DE 19947-0500.
If you're in prison, just send a diplo to: Baphomet, Mgr. Knights Templar (568), DM
#47--North Fork. (I also have a lot of other charts and info for anyone who wants
it.) Thanks!
