SPY REPORT
So why do I have this bag over my head? Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and
I'm going to give you a spy report!. Say good-bye to BLACK CONVENTICLE, as they are
pushed from the coveted top team spot by the RAISING R'LYEH stable. Hey everybody,
watch out for SARALAI, who flew up 20 points in the rankings after mashing
COLOROUTOFSPACE like a melon. Keep your eye on this gal. And falling like a basher
in the top ten was COLOROUTOFSPACE, who dropped 8 points after a disappointing (to
say the least) bout with SARALAI. Try as hard as the BLACK CONVENTICLE stable might,
they were unable to find their warrior (and ex-Duelmaster) SHROUD OF GLOOM before
this week's fights. It's a proud day for the RAISING R'LYEH stable, as their
warrior, BLADERUNNER, ascended the Duelmaster's throne. 4 out of 5 gladiators
surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at that location.
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? Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch RAISING R'LYEH's act in the
arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from BLACK CONVENTICLE.
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Knowing when to use the right
tactics at the proper time is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. Well, there goes another Spy Report. Good luck in
next week's fights. See ya next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Fear of the Dark -- Ah, makes it hard in winter, doesn't it? -- Vargoi
P.S. You got the win, but I got all the skills. We're saving the fight until we
hear whether Reaper's gotten a reprint, though.
Voices in My Head -- Always. Talk, talk, talk, nothing but voices. I'd rather have
ringing in my ears. -- Tialvai Graywind
Bilge Rat -- You rat! -- Garanh
P.S. Good fight, though.
P.P.S. If you like that kind of thing.
Evilsizor -- Ah, depending on the gods for protection never works. Never. -- Saralai
P.S. I don't as Shierah for protection, and she doesn't give it to me, so we're even
on that one.
Well of Souls -- An intriguing concept. Not sure I'd want to get "up close and
personal" with it, though. -- Kalmbargh
Shroud of Gloom -- Yeah. I thought it was Seasonal Affective Disorder. -- Vargoi

CALLING ALL THUGS, BRUTES, OGRES, QUARTER HALF WITS, SHALLOW HALBERD ENTHUSIASTS AND
MAUL RATS: Since the Bashing style has often been maligned in the forums, it is time
to give the style a little tough love with the following concept: An ALL-BASHER
arena. The rules are simple--enter the arena as a rookie basher. That's it. RSI
said I need to get 20 managers on board and I'm about half way there. If you are
interested in taking part, PM me in the forums or email me: chase at accesspr.com
and put D2 in the subject header.

ATTENTION EVERYONE -- In March I am going to do manager lists for all arenas. This
is part of my ongoing and undoubtedly largely futile attempt to get my lists
organized. If you think I might not know who you are or if you think I might and
you'd rather I not share that information, let me know this month! You can e-mail
me at Sue at solberg dash mathews dot com (replacing the at, dash and dot with
appropriate characters. You can send a diplo to The Saint. You can put an ad in
the newsletter. Semaphore doesn't work so well, nor does telepathy. -- The Saint,
keeper of lists
