SPY REPORT
Hail ARDIVENT! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your
deeds. It seems the training can make the difference, as BLUVALLEY WARRIORS is
pushed out of top team by DEATHTONGUE, who came from 2nd with a 4-1-0 this turn. And
let's see, BIG DAVE DIODE fought SOLARIS and gained 23 points and contributed to
DEATHTONGUE's 4-1-0. SOLARIS has lost to BIG DAVE DIODE, falling 19 points, while
helping make RUBY DRAGONS a 2-1-0 turn. The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have
failed, and FLOYD B. RICK remains ARDIVENT's top warrior for another turn. By the
way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The
Seaside Manor?
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one.
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? Is it really true that ARDIVENT has more dishwashers per capita that
fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
I like this place, ARDIVENT, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.
Who could ask for more? Always good to rest in ARDIVENT, but never good to wear out
my welcome. Look for me in future turns. Until you see my quill in ARDIVENT again,
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Khorne Shadowspawn -- Oh, it's you again. (sigh) It's about time for the khorne to
be cut for silage, so if I was you, I'd watch out. Avoid reapers and so on. In
fact, this might be a great time to go on a long, long trip. -- Bernina Collin
P.S. You'll miss the county fair, but there are worse things in life than missing
the county fair.
Noble assassin? Right, and I'm the queen of the May. "Noble Assassin" is an
oxymoron, and everyone knows it. If you really cared about Andoria, you'd get a
proper job, or at least hid the one you've got. You're making us a laughing stock
all over Alastari, you know! -- Valley-Jo
Break Point -- What's cynical or deluded about that? Everyone and everything has a
breaking point. It's the one where you start staggering around dropping your
weapons. -- Flint Hills, no delusion, just hard rock
P.S. You're going to have trouble getting the dents out of that. I know an armorer
who might help.
Big Dave Diode -- Will nothing crack your glass? Gods, I've tried swords, I've tried
rocks, I've tried hard words, what's left? Er, besides that. Maybe I should offer
to get you a date with Debra or Bernina? If that will soften your rapier wit, let me
know. -- Gneiss Guy
Big Dave Diode -- As if! -- Debra Collin
Mick Jagger -- (peering closely) So what happened? Did you start to drink your
drink with an umbrella in it, and someone hit you and the umbrella bit your lip?
Have you tried lip-o-suction to get the swelling down? I mean, it looks like a bee
stung you or something! -- Debra Collin
P.S. Who does your hair?
Cutter -- Now, now, son, you don't want to go and do that. I'm your friend! -- Elsin
Woodly, the most Friendly Constable in Ardivent
Palantiriathalasa -- Ma'am, you are about to be cited for "unnecessary roughness,"
and I would advise you to produce a shorter name. The captain doesn't like long
names. He's says it's, ah, well, he says it's stuck up. -- Harbad Kore, Baron's
Guard
Valley-Jo -- I suppose I should say "good fight"? I didn't feel it was a good one.
But we have no place else to go, those of us were the Ardiventi branch of the
Assassins' Guild. It's closed down, we're out of jobs, and when we work as standbys
in the arena, people beat us up and sneer. This seems unnecessary. -- one of the
Noble Assassins (no name by request)
P.S. We did the King's work, you know. That's nothing to be ashamed of. If a few
fell from the highest standards, well, what profession doesn't have its black sheep?
20 September 2004
Azereth has returned! I am the manager for Scarlet Blades in DM 25. I was a member
of the Crimson Alliance and the Crimson Brotherhood (which was composed of former CA
members). I've been out of the game for many (at least 5) years. I would like to
hear from anyone who remembers me, as well as any Alliance that is seeking to add
experienced managers to their roster. Contact me at:

FACE-TO-FACE XXXIV
Our next Winter Face-to-Face will be held on Martin Luther King weekend, Friday
through Sunday, 14-16 January 2005, at the Embassy Suites in Tempe, Arizona (4400 S
Rural Rd--this is the same hotel as last year). Room rates are $139.00 per night,
1-4 occupancy, which includes breakfast. The rooms are blocked. The reservations
number is 480-897-7444; tell them you're with the "Reality Simulations Face to Face
Convention" block. Our room block will be released in mid-December, so please make
sure you reserve your room before then!
Room rates include a full cooked-to-order breakfast and a complimentary two-hour
manager's reception. There is a free shuttle to the airport, as well as free parking.
The hotel is located down the freeway in Tempe. All rooms have high speed internet
(for an extra charge). There is a fitness center, jacuzzi, and pool, and of course a
bar and Mexican restaurant inside the hotel. And there's Denny's right across the
street. Look for transportation info in the tournament information sheet.
The tournament information sheet/strategy sheet should be out sometime in late
November/early December.
If you haven't been to a Face-to-Face before, you're overdue. If you have,
you'll be back. Don't miss this one, it'll be a blast! See you there!
