SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
TRICORUS brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Later days, ALL-UGLY TEAM, since
AMAZON ELITE took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. Of course,
we're all terribly impressed to see NEALA win a fight and gain 18 points, terribly.
Tsk, tsk, KUNG FU MASTER beat GRAPE and GRAPE lost 19 points. You're breakin' my
heart. Due to absence, and inability to defend the throne, GRANDMASTER has lost the
Title of Duelmaster. Start setting that alarm earlier! And it's out with the old,
in with the new, as GRAPE takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old
Duelmaster. Heh, heh. 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, TRICORUS?
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward. What's
the big D? THE NEVYNS was the most avoided team? Bunch of lily livered...
grumble... mumble... curse... And who led the way in this mass act of cowardice?
Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was AMAZON ELITE. Ha ha ha ha!
Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and
gone, and get to see if their team cared. 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 TRICORUS to get a drink than The Silver
Chalice! 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. Glad to see the back of this
place-- Snide Clemens

Grandmaster -- I'm not sure if they call our history an epic struggle or and epic
beating. Either way, I'm challenging you one more time. Assur says if everything
goes right, I can beat you. I'm not convinced, but he is the boss. On the other
side of things, he says that by fighting you, I can almost ensure the throne next
turn. The choices aren't exactly numerous. Fight you: win-the throne is mine, lose-
I probably have the most PP's next turn. Fight Kallie: win-I get the throne, lose-I
don't. I need 8 more PP's to follow you to the Isle of the Eye. That is the
priority. -- Grape
Rosebud -- Congratulations on Grandmaster. I should have been sending in strats
every turn to tweak and prep, but I'm lazy and I've been enjoying the free fights for
popularity leader, anyway. I made one last tweak to my strategy that has worked for
me in the past. I'm not sure anything can help Grape, though. Especially against
the likes of your fine warrior. -- Assurnasirbanipal
Ankh -- I find it strange to see you in the role of "big bad dwarf," but there you
were, and I creamed you, well, at least I defeated you. Maybe not cream, maybe only
half-and-half. Whatever. This has been a real boost to my self-esteem, regardless
of the low number of fights you have showing, and I thank you for it. -- Aillendei
Jacinthe -- I never know how to talk to women, and my momma done tole me not to beat
them up, and that leaves me with no way to approach you. -- Margalh
Black Lotus -- Huh. There's a legume called a lotus, besides the water plant, did
you know that? I ran across it the other day when identifying a bird's-foot trefoil.
Amazing things you can find in books. I always suspected that they were dangerous.
-- Galbei

The Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire want to announce the joining of a new
member who cherishes the same ideals, respect and loyalty that we hold dear.
From this day forward let all know that Blackstorm is now a Dark Knight of the
Desolate Empire Alliance. With him as our chosen brother, our alliance only becomes
stronger. Let all his foes become ours, and ours his. May all our enemies' blood
flow freely and give NO quarter in war.
This is also a warning to any cowards, bullies, etc.... If you play with fire,
you WILL get burnt!!!

To those involved, no, I have not abandoned your stories. But I've been letting them
drift, and that has to stop, so I am taking the time to make sure that I know where
they are going, more than just "what happens next" dreamed up on the fly, before
resuming work on them. No new stories will be started until at least one of the old
ones has concluded, for the same reason: quantity can't substitute for quality.
Your patience in this matter is appreciated. -- the Scribe
