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, DRUID'S GROVE, but
SNOW CALL HAMMERZ was just too good to be stopped. MVP award for NO-PAIN-4U?
EXTREMISTS' proud of him after beating OBSIDIAN and getting 23 points. Talk about
yer major upsets! BLAZE's match with SNOW COBRA HAMMER cost him a loss of 12 points!
This Duelmaster is like something else! VANWAFEA stopped ELLITA FESS dead in hers
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. Can DRUID'S GROVE's OBSIDIAN be more popular than me? She was
challenged the most, but is that really the same?
What does a fighter fight for? I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone
gets killed. Not after four more fights. What a bunch of heartless! I couldn't
believe how many people were snickering when NO-PAIN-4U killed OBSIDIAN. So she had
a 14-21-1, that's no excuse! Fight, fight, fight. Is that all you guys can do?
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous Spyreporter? I gotta leave. SNOWBOUND is like such a dump, and you guys
smell too much! Its been really albendranius! Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Snow Bound Citizens -- As long as my stable is on warrior maintenance I will be
active here! A bit difficult keeping track of which stables are running when! --
Hammer
Yaiwe -- (pondering deeply) I think it's you shouting your name when you step out
into the arena that boggles me. Could you not do that next time? It puts me off my
stroke. -- Gilia Harn
Venomous Concubine? Why should I fight a Venomous Concubine? I have a certain
sympathy for her position, you know. -- Ellita Fess
Obsidian -- Oh, heck, not the sand again. -- Fender Grale
Neuma -- Well...think of that as a sort of reaction to Fender getting buried in the
sand? -- Hollan Innis
Ashaki -- Oh, fine. That is just SO fine. I spend two and a half years at this, and
then some head-hunting Brigand comes along and kills me! That is JUST what I needed
to make my day. -- Ghost of Arlen Abeli
12 January 2005
On Jhans turn number 476 (due on Feb. 16, 2005) the Second Annual kLk St. Valentine's
Massacre Kill Contest will begin. The rules are simple; the team with the most kills
on the last turn wins. Last year's winner was Shocking Toad. Can he repeat? Could
DOOMcorps crush all challengers? Will the kLk prevail? Or will you be the
independent manager to show that alliances aren't all that? Come on to Jhans and
let's find out!
Prizes are: 1st. Renaming of a Dark Arena monster and five roll-up
certificates or $25.00 deposited in your account.
2nd. Renaming of a Stand-In monster.
Come on and celebrate the Delarquan way!
