SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, SNOWBOUND? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Of course, we're all terribly impressed
to see MAILEA win a fight and gain 13 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, EVALON ELKHORN
beat CASS DOLAN and CASS DOLAN lost 7 points. You're breakin' my heart. And if
variety is the spice of life, SNOWBOUND may be getting bland, as YAIWE stays top dog
in the city. I'm not in a very good mood today, but why am I telling you this? You
want to know what's new, don't you, SNOWBOUND?
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.
SNOWBOUND, I am losing what little hope I had in you. DARK SIDHE the most avoided
team? What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And it looks like IN THE NICOTINE
avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me.
Hmph.
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for SNOWBOUND's
morgue. More variety. Now hey, I like to see a death as much as the next guy, but
hey IN THE NICOTINE, whyja send L&M to the Dark Arena, look at his record, huh?
Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through use. Certain nameless
cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.
There's got to be a better place in SNOWBOUND to get a drink than The Victory
Tavern! Any suggestions? Well, I've had enough of this drivel, and I'm sure you
have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. Paste this one in your
scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
Harry -- Nice job! I thought after I stood back up I might get a rip in there but
alas it wasn't meant to be. -- Azaer
I don't know why I continue with this experiment with Azaer, I just have to see how
well he will do in Champs. He has awhile to go to get there so I will be around at
least for another five turns or so. -- Tripwire
Gerrick -- Thought I'd give you a shot, thanks for the learns. -- Cannon Ball
Auaria -- A rather enjoyable fight. -- L&M
Gobert -- Go Bert go, maybe next time, just not this time! -- Virginia Slim
Evalon -- Is that anyway to treat a giant? -- The deceased Benson Hedges
Leanni -- See ya in the next world, kid. -- Ash Tray
Sweet Air -- And how sweet is, too. My thanks to you for many good matches, at
least, someone on our team has had many good matches with you, and I might as well
be the one to say thanks. May you follow me to the Isle soon. -- Fender Grale
P.S. How tedious. My "favorite" weapon is one I couldn't use at all well. Go
figure.
Street Sign -- Thanks, but I wasn't lost. -- Cass Dolan
P.S. Are you? I don't see a street here.
Virginia Slim -- I never know what to say to women. I'm just putty around the likes
of you. (sigh) I love to watch you move, though. -- Gobert Hinny
Ash Tray -- Ah. They did warn me that associating even with second-hand smoke could
be dangerous to my health. And they were right. -- Ghost of Leanni Maris
Domjon -- Fat lot of good that "rethinking" does me. -- Irina Jasse, already
committed
Lord Protector Neuma and Lord Protector Fender Grale -- As you both know, the best
chance at "lands" we can offer you is co-signing loans for you to buy lots out at
Iceberg Acres. I wouldn't recommend it, myself. -- Arenamaster Tora

A few notes about e-mailed personals:
You may submit personal ads, columns, spotlights, etc. electronically, either via e-
mail to ads at reality dot com (which doesn't need any more spam, thank you) or on
the web at http://www.reality.com/duel2/modules.php?name=Ads. When you submit
something, you should get back a receipt from HAL at RSI. If you do NOT get a
receipt, your ads may have gone astray (not all e-mail makes it to its destination
any more than all snail mail does). If you DO get a receipt, it should, in the body
of the message, tell you what arena your stuff was filed in. Check your receipt to
make sure your submission made it to the intended destination. Also check to see
that everything you sent made it to the same place. Sometimes HAL, who is rather
simple-minded in some ways, will send half your stuff to another arena if the name
or number of that arena shows up at the beginning of a line. So if the word Ti
appears at the beginning of a line halfway through your ads, all the ads after that
may end up in Ti, which is closed and doesn't need ads. As a side note, sometimes
things move slowly, so don't wait until the last minute to send your ads and all.
If they get held up along the way, they may not show up until next turn. Happy
writing! -- Ed.
