SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt SNOWBOUND will ever be the same. It seems the training can make the
difference, as LIFE IMPACTS is pushed out of top team by DANGER DANGER, who came from
2nd with a 4-1-0 this turn. And let's see, BULLDOG fought KHALHUMS DWARF and gained
19 points and contributed to LIFE IMPACTS' 5-0-0. TACO BELL has lost to MOLDAR NAY,
falling 11 points, while helping make DANGER DANGER a 4-1-0 turn. This turn
WHISTLIN' DIXIE challenged GOBERT HINNY in what was SNOWBOUND's Title bout. The
attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and WHISTLIN' DIXIE remains
SNOWBOUND's top warrior for another turn. Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I
hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Victory Tavern until
they win. Maybe?
The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more
could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that. OPEN SESAME has cause to stand
tall, as they were SNOWBOUND's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a
team to beat. And guess who avoided OPEN SESAME stable the most? Believe it or not,
it was LIFE IMPACTS. Anyone surprised? Well, sports fans, take notice that GOBERT
HINNY from MIDDLE WAY 6 was SNOWBOUND's most challenged warrior this turn.
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 brave warrior does not carry a
red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
I like this place, SNOWBOUND, the taverns have old wine, and young serving
girls. Who could ask for more? It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet
again, keep your swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until the sun next rises and
my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Whistlin' Dixie -- Shore nuff, a good'n Duelmaster. Yowser! -- Smitty
Shobart -- Violent? Bulldogs? We may look violent (or ugly) but we are really
always puppies at heart. Perhaps you are thinking about Pit Bulls. Nasty! -- Bulldog
(giving the peace sign)
Moldar Nay -- That's a good one about the other suits! Ha, ha. The Purple Aces wore
purple, white, and sometimes trim of orange. Did you know that Jerry Sloan (Long-time
coach of the Utah Jazz; one of three jerseys retired by the Chicago Bulls; multiple
defensive player of the year awards in the NBA; national champion Div II NCAA) was a
Purple Ace? The Big Boss was in college with him. -- Purple Ace (proud of the old
days)
Gobert Hinny -- You would have made a fine 4-Her. (wink) -- 4-H
Shouldn't that be a 4-Him?
Rigoroso -- You shouldn't have challenged me. I'm usually a pup, but something about
the challenge turned me into a Pit Bull. Grrr. -- Bulldog
Vivace -- Well, you can probably sing better than I can. Fight, too, I guess. --
Math
Whistlin' Dixie -- You are one tough nut to crack! Salute. -- Durango Kid
The Beatles -- Yeah, I remember them. They were good then, and they are apparently
good now. -- Purple Ace
Super Grover -- Y'all welcome back now, y'hear? -- Smitty
Note: Sorry, Master Darque, but your hopes and dreams of that fourth DM in North
Fork did not come true. (That turn anyway.) Har de har. Ole Crip said "Open
Sesame" and Darque's two pair was not as good as the Royal Flush. -- Oz The All
Informative (watching from afar)
Whistlin' Dixie -- You're getting darned good at that. I might even say... painfully
good at it. Ouch. -- Gobert Hinny
P.S. Strange to think I've been fighting here for more than four years.
Purple Ace -- It makes my eyes hurt just looking at you. -- Ladiro Maels
Bert and Ernie -- I couldn't handle the both of you. -- Shobart Teegue
Smokey Bear -- Huh, I can see how the Commission came up with that designation of
"dwarf." Hairy, lives in a cave, nasty temper, yep, it was a natural. -- Moldar Nay
Will Robinson -- I suppose you must be considered... dashing? You dashed forth, you
dashed back, you dashed here and also there. It made me tired just watching you. --
Elena Faresta
4-H -- My guess is that the fourteenth win will see me out of here. I certainly hope
so! -- Gobert Hinny
Purple Ace -- Well, my boss says that HER school had purple and gray for colors.
Sounds awful, doesn't it? -- Moldar Nay
Geistlich -- Nah, my mother was Shewish on her mother's side. Well, she still is,
you know. -- Shobart Teegue
P.S. The difference between a short Shew and a tall Harkeny is mostly a matter of
opinion and which category will give the best tax break.
