SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in
SNOWBOUND. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid!
Coming up with a solid 3-2-0 outing, BONDSMEN has advanced 4 places in the rankings.
Hey everybody, watch out for JENNIS KLURE, who flew up 13 points in the rankings
after mashing KARNHORN DESERTER like a melon. Keep your eye on this gal. Ya know,
some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. FENDER GRALE was overcame by
NEUMA and drops 13 points. Our battling duelmaster YAIWE has managed to hold the
title, fending off GILIA HARN's none too subtle advances. Better luck next time,
MIDDLE WAY 6. Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd!
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the SNOWBOUND arena. Did you
hear that IRON CURTAIN was most avoided team this week? Well, knowing the personal
hygiene of IRON CURTAIN's warriors, I'm not surprised! And you guys like to boo me?
Well, unsling your rasberries, cause BONDSMEN beats feet every time IRON CURTAIN
smiles at them. Try farming, eh? And who is this AZAER you ask, with 58 points and
a 11-5-0 record. Ooh, the tales I could tell! In a touching display by a 'touched'
warrior, ZYTOR went after ROXANNE DE'MORRE, who was higher by 25 points. Well, when
the dust settled, ZYTOR overcame ROXANNE DE'MORRE.
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Congrats to LEVATOR for
revenging the death of his teammate (but more importantly, feeding MATASAI THE MYSTIC
a bit of dirt). Ask not the elves for counsel, for they will say both yes and no.
Silly buggers, eh?
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some tracks. See ya
next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Zytor -- (recoiling) I bet you're a nasty master at selling those bonds. -- Cass
Dolan
Yaiwe -- Well, at least I will still have a winning record on departure, even if you
beat me AGAIN next time. -- Gilia Harn
30 -- That isn't a name. It's a mask. Who is behind the mask? Speak up! -- Ellita
Fess
Blaze -- Oops. -- Fender Grale
P.S. This is what happens when you come out with an unlucky 13-13 record.
Sweet Air -- Nope, it was Gilia. Maybe I'll go after that? -- Fender Grale
Folks, I've got a classic oddity here. 3-7-21-3-12-16-8. I could make this dude
into a low-average warrior, or I could preserve his oddness. I'm giving y'all a say
in it, because he'd probably hang around for several years if not killed outright.
Which would amuse you, an ordinary 9-7-21-9-13-16-9 or a freakish 3-13-21-3-17-17-11?
-- Jorja, the Middle Way
Lady Protector Gilia Harn -- Have I got a deal for YOU, lady! A splendid site on
high ground, with an unparalleled view of the glacier. Just what you need, it will
make you the envy of all! But you have to close with this deal today, no waiting
around or it might be GONE. -- Lars Penkattan, Realtor Extraordinaire
12 October 2005
Magic Man -- You are a fellow Canadian, are you not? Where do you hail from? I live
in Kelowna, B.C. -- Maximillian, 8,13, 28, 47, 54
5 November 2005
It is with a proud heart that I announce the newest member of the Desolate Empire
alliance. Dok Sik will be known from here forth as Dark Knight Dok Sik, of the
Desolate Empire. May he be blessed with victory and courage. May his enemies' blood
flow freely! -- The Dark Knights Wasby and Toker
