SPY REPORT
Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills? Well
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for SNOWBOUND. Too bad, STRANGE TUNES, but
DARK SIDHE was just too good to be stopped. I don't wanna hurt anybody's feelings or
anything, but DRUID'S GROVE really goofed with their 2-3-0. The guys at DARK SIDHE
like really pulled together to get a 4-1-1 this turn, moving up by 4. This
Duelmaster is like something else! TOM SMITH DISEASE stopped HOLLAN INNIS dead in
his tracks! Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to his teammates? Don't ask
me!
I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies. Really, I just
wing this stuff. STRANGE TUNES was the most avoided team. Is a 51-55-1 record
really that scary? Is there some deep dark secret why OPEN SESAME's been avoiding
STRANGE TUNES so much? Or is it just that they're too scared? Like, is ORION GRIMM
popular, or what? He was challenged the most in all of SNOWBOUND! He's got a 3-1-1,
is that good? People were asking me did SUPER GROVER REALLY challenge GILIA HARN?
(all right, maybe they didn't, but it sounded good!) It wasn't a spectacular fight,
or anything, but GILIA HARN wants me to write about it since she was subdued by SUPER
GROVER. Satisfied?
Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other! Don't you guys ever give
it a break? What if they had a fight and nobody showed up? I'd be out of a job,
that's what!!!
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I gotta leave. SNOWBOUND is like such a dump, and you guys smell too much! I
had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Hollan Innis -- Deaf? Hugh? -- Yaiwe
Happy -- Epee broken, no back up weapon and three skills to boot. Again you make me
very happy! -- Yaiwe
Ellita Fess -- Odd I never hit you where I'm attacking? -- Vanwafea
Nevermore -- Either you've gotten better or I just suck. -- Neuma
Orion Grimm -- A victory for me! And on a downchallenge no less. Now if I could
only learn something. -- Gronk
Orion Grimm -- You challenged the Lady and killed her. Prepare yourself. -- The
Expatriate, mgr. Bleak Legion
Voragar -- You too, should prepare to meet Fate. -- The Expatriate
All -- You're an unfriendly lot. Not so much as a single death threat or greeting.
-- The Expatriate
Jorja -- Hello again. Are you everywhere? You know me from when I was creating a
Little Chaos in a few arenas. -- The Expatriate
P.S. Is this really everybody?
Ellita Fess -- Sidhe is a Celtic word referring to the people who live under the
hill, which is where elves and or the wee people where once thought to live. Granted
most of the warriors on the team are of other races due to the fact that we do not
live up to some high elven standard and or our race choice was denied. For example,
Yaiwe's an orc due to his stupidity and tpness and I'm too tall. Partying and
drinking sounds good though, so count us in. -- Vanwafea
Stryker -- I hear there are a lot of vitamins in fish and seaweed. Have you
considered that? I know it sounds yucky, and it probably tastes yucky, too, but so
what? -- Ellita Fess
P.S. Besides, it's organic.
Hairy Monster -- Well (sigh), I guess I should be glad you didn't try to bury me in
the sand while I was lying there trying to catch my breath. I should've known better
than that, anyway--how can you catch ANYTHING, except maybe a cold, while lying down?
-- Fender Grale
P.S. And when I DID catch my breath, I regretted it. You broke four of my ribs!
Not to mention puncturing a lung or three (I always carry a spare).
Vanwafea -- Weren't you paying attention? I was demonstrating good stuff there! --
Gilia Harn
Yaiwe -- I'm too exhausted to do a proper personal, so here's an improper one: Well
parried. -- Arlen Abelli
P.S. Actually, I don't know if it's improper or not, but it's the one I had to
offer.
Nevermore -- Yep, that about covers how I feel about it, too. -- Hollan Innis
