                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.  
I doubt NORTH FORK will ever be the same.  It seems the training can make the 
difference, as BOOK OF THOMAS is pushed out of top team by N.E.R.D. LIFE, who came 
from 7th with a 4-0-0 this turn.  It doesn't rain, but it pours for THE PURGE 209 
this turn, a 0-2-0 causing a 11 flight drop in the team rankings.  Hand that team a 
dry towel.  WEIRD ALCHEMY stable has parlayed this turn's 4-0-0 into a 9 space move 
up the rankings.  This brings them up to 5th place.  Good work, guys!  The N.E.R.D. 
LIFE guild has had a 4-0-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future.  You never 
know where this kind of thing can lead.  And let's see, BOOTLICKER fought CLANCY and 
gained 20 points and contributed to SATAN'S MINIONS' 1-0-0.  WINCHESTER has lost to 
ABSOLUM, falling 14 points, while helping make BOOK OF THOMAS a 2-3-0 turn.  Due to 
his absence and inability to defend the throne, GRATILLONIUS has lost the title of 
Duelmaster.  And not without some honor, TRY ONE now claims the title and throne of 
Duelmaster of NORTH FORK.  Can someone confirm a rumor for me?  I hear the top team 
makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Swinging Aardvark until they win.  
Maybe?   
     He who challenges well, fights well.  He who avoids without cause, shall lose 
for good reasons.  My mama told me that one.  WHITE WOLVES has cause to stand tall, 
as they were NORTH FORK's most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team to 
beat.  And avoiding WHITE WOLVES more than any other team we find QUACK PACK.  NORTH 
FORK, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?  The most challenged 
warrior this turn was WHITE WOLVES' warrior EUPHEMIUS.  More fighters challenged him 
than challenged the Duelmaster!  In a brave attempt, SPYRO from N.E.R.D. LIFE 
challenged up 20 points to fight CLEF PALATE from the MUSIC MAYHEM stable.  SPYRO 
perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he won victory over CLEF PALATE and ended up 
with 50 recognition points.  TRY ONE of WEIRD ALCHEMY had better have a good reason 
for challenging down 10 points in a challenge which he won.  I thought TRY ONE showed 
great skill and promise when he beat BURN.  All right, so I slept through it!  Big 
deal!   
     The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.  
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed.  A farewell moment, if you please, 
TROLL of PSY CORPS has been sent to the Dark Arena, and was carried out on its 
shield.  Congratulations go out to LAZY BOYZ, with ZIB KLIBZET revenging a bloodfeud 
against RENEWING THE MIND of ABERRANT 5 BLADES.  The Swinging Aardvark declares a 
free round for DIE ROLL and all of WEIRD ALCHEMY, for having revenged QUACK PACK's 
LUCKY DUCKY for killing one of their comrades.  We'd like to remind certain teams not 
to rob the graves of their enemies.  You know who you are; and it's considered rude.  
     I like this place, NORTH FORK, the taverns have old wine, and young serving 
girls.  Who could ask for more?  Always good to rest in NORTH FORK, but never good to 
wear out my welcome.  Look for me in future turns.  Until the sun next rises and my 
pen sets to paper-- Alarond the Scribe

****  A few ads were cut off last time. Here they are in their entirety: ****

Downward Spiral -- We used to look up to you guys with admiration but not any more! 
Continue to challenge down and we will continue to take you down! -- White Wolves

Vertigo -- Thank you for the win and the skills training. Challenge up next time. -- 
Leonnatias

Oz -- I would like to announce another alliance for TW.  Our alliance name is still 
TBD. -- Master Darque
     Master Darque -- Darque Forces
     Dr. Feelgood -- The Purge 209
     JE -- Errata!

All -- Can't remember if I posted this or not.  Frenzy was 5-9-7-21-9-12-21 AB.  He 
was good from the get-go because he rolled Poor END and Good DMG. Faves were not so 
stellar (okay, just the rhythm and learn were bleh) at VL/VL, SC, Slash tactic, learns 
Parry. He'll go to 101 and wait for an open spot. -- Master Darque

Turf War 13 -- Hello, we are here to announce that North Fork is our turf... granted 
we only just got here, but this land is ours, probably, if we win, that is. You will 
be pleased that we are here; we are the Aljafir Knives 47 Alliance.
     Alliance: Aljafir Knives 47 (AK47)
     Teams:    Palinc Kalverus, managing Quack Pack (876)

               Admiral M, managing Starfleet Command (878)

TW13 -- I have noticed that an alliance can register on the RSI website. 
Unfortunately, the Aljafir Knives 47 might be at a disadvantage as we lack the access 
to magic (internet). We request that all important information be posted in the 
newsletter. Like the alliance with Otis, Blackheart, and Gentleben... what are your 
team names? Thank you. -- Palinc Kalverus, Quack Pack

Assur -- Ants scared me with that deadly bloodlust in his eyes. Sorry, I had to do 
what I must to make it home to Daisy. -- Donald Duck

Trials of Victory -- If these are my trials I must face them for victory. Sign me up 
morning, noon, and night. -- Cloud

Bedlam -- You had me scared there for a minute, I thought I was going down, but you 
then ran into the sharp point of my weapon. Lucky for me, bad for you. -- Spyro

Oz the Great and Wise One -- It seems the Turf Wars are here. So I took your advice 
and sharpened my warrior's blade but I also sharpened my mind and have been studying 
every piece of info I could find. Now I have a headache and I'm more confused than 
when I started. So I have brought two of my close Aljafir managers with me to compete. 
Until we meet on the sands, happy hunting! -- Dante, mgr. of N.E.R.D. Life (member of 
AK47)

-- Palinc Kalverus, Alliance: AK47

     See above.

TW13 -- We cannot re-create what we wrote in our announcement, however, we can say 
Good Luck to all the alliances. BTW can you please post ALL important information here 
in the Personal Ads? Our Alliance has NO ACCESS to the internet, so we are flying 
blind on some things. Thank you. -- Aljafir Knives 47

     All -- Contest rules for all contests require that all necessary information and 
     rankings be posted in arena newsletters. While there will generally also be posts 
     and discussions and opportunities to register and etc. online, the DM newsletters 
     are considered to be the main source of official contest information. -- RSI

One Armed Bandit -- Hopefully I'll have my answer in this turn right now, but do you 
ALSO have another team here called Shewish Buffet? Or is your team, which is 
registered for TW13, actually the Shewish Diner (806) team? -- Palinc

Otis, Blackheart, and Gentleben -- Which teams are yours? -- Palinc

Eerie Picnic -- I would like to set things straight. I have only gotten lucky when my 
back is pressed against the corner. And my warriors' accuracy sucks ducky. Sorry. -- 
Palinc Kalverus, Team: Quack Pack

Fletcher -- I should have had you, but you had me. -- Daisy Duck

Leonnatias -- I though I was the exception to the norm, and was impervious versus your 
style. I was wrong. Thank you for making me smarter. -- Donald Duck

Craterus -- Squeak, Squeaking. SQUEAK! -- Rubber Ducky 
(Translation: OMG, I almost fell in. I WON!)

Thingamabob -- Quack, Quacking QUACK! -- Lucky Ducky

Straw Fire -- Oops, I flicked my cigar butt at you... you're on FIRE! Stop, drop, and 
DA. -- Howard the Duck

Clef Palate -- What the heck? With that clef I thought you could not fight. Sure 
showed me. -- Cloud

Apeface -- Vendetta! That was so not cool. -- Crash

Goombah -- I would say sorry about that, yet I would be lying. -- Spyro

Para -- Next time I'll just stand still. Maybe then you could hit me. -- Blanca

Predators -- Congrats on the tourney, too bad it did not help you vs. me. -- Neo

All -- Let the Turf Wars begin! May your blade stay s dull as your manager's mind. 
Hopefully AK47 blows this contest away. -- Dante Killatroll (mgr. of Nerd Life and 
capt. of AK47)
