SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last
week's fights. We now have a new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on. DAZED
N CONFUSED now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep it. It was a tough
week for DARK HORSEMEN, to drop 4 places in the rankings. It looks like the guys(?)
at RAISING R'LYEH had a good week as they went 4-1-0 to put them in 3rd place. I
guess steroids help! Hey everybody, watch out for KASHMIR, who flew up 14 points in
the rankings after mashing GARANH like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. And
falling like a basher in the top ten was MOTHER OF PEARLS, who dropped 10 points
after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with POOR TOM. Going for the gusto and
coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was BLACK CONVENTICLE's THE JONAH, who was
turned away from the Duelmastership by ENDLESS WATCH. An apple a day keeps the
doctor away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay.
Here is other news that is of note. And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't
avoid BLACK CONVENTICLE, please raise you hand. Wow. Does TRICORUS really have that
many liars? And you guys like to boo me? Well, unsling your rasberries, cause
RAISING R'LYEH beats feet every time BLACK CONVENTICLE smiles at them. Try farming,
eh? Well dang howdy, but if challenges were votes, DEATH GOES ON would be president.
Although it may be a contest he doesn't want to win. In a mismatch, our friend WHOLE
LOTTA LUV of DAZED N CONFUSED got heroic notions and challenged DARK RIVER. What did
it get him? A 6-3-1 record, that's what. A Carrion Bird Sellout: WHOLE LOTTA LUV
6-3-1 fights DARK RIVER 20-13-1. (BYOB)
Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). Here's some advice: warriors with little
wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.
Well, there's the manager of the TRICORUS giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some
tracks. And remember, you can pick your friends and you can pick your--(loud boos),
oh, you've heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Death Goes On -- Ah, finally, my first win. Thanks. -- Jaromir
Kashmir -- Why did I challenge you? Won't do that again. Well, maybe I will. --
Akhenaten
Tangerine -- You are not sweet at all! Treating someone of my station with such
disrespect. You should be be-headed. -- Virago
Where are my pearls?! I know one of you stole them. I'm going to find you and beat
you sensless. -- Mother of Pearls
They ran away from home and joined a circus.
Tialvai Graywind -- What is your relationship to the evil Greywitch? -- Madame
Blavatsky
The Black Canticle -- The V.C. was the Vendetta Cartel. I guess asking for a mgr
list was a bad idea. I was listed under my old name, Abraxis, winner of the first
Stromcrowe Slaughterhouse. I'm trying to reinvent myself here, so please use the
R.P.P. moniker. -- Robert Paul Page, mgr Dazed and Confused
Ah, yes, the Userous Merchant. A nasty type, battens on those who are needy,
rendering them more needy. I salute him with a sword to his head, eh. -- Vargoi
Coloroutofspace -- You make my head ache, you know that? You just HAPPEN to have hit
the wavelengths I don't see well, and yet I can't help trying, and it just hurts. Go
away. Standing in a dark shadow or something. I don't care. -- Garanh
The Persistent Beggar was not only PUSHY, he was careless and inattentive. -- Saralai
Madame Blavatsky -- I don't doubt it, but the answer is still No. -- Tialvai Graywind
Poor Tom -- They say it annoys the gods to hit someone who's touched in the head. I
hate it when they say that. -- Kalmbargh
Her Black Wings -- Er, do I have to adopt you as a sort of sister or daughter?
Couldn't we go for something a little more, well, adult? -- Kalmbargh
