SPY REPORT
Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day,
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! Nothing is certain in FRATSFA, with changing
loyalties, changing Duelmasters. Write this down: new top team--ASSASSIN NATION.
Nothing works for a team like victory (How's that for a perceptive observation?) as
ASSASSIN NATION can attest... ASSASSIN NATION had cause to celebrate, after VICIOUS
got 15 points by beating TOLEDO. A certain someone should cut down on the drinking
and practice more, after losing 11 points to VICIOUS. (Discrete enough, TOLEDO?)
PHEURTON SKEURTO found out that FRATSFA isn't a democracy. You've gotta be the best
to be Duelmaster here! So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and
challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic problem...
And how sociable are FRATSFA's warriors? Come, let us see. Perhaps the
warriors of OHIO should take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team...
Like a pup with its tail between its legs, THE FURIOUS FIVE scurried away from OHIO.
Oh, the shame! Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and SOUTHPOINT is it right
now. Most challenged warrior. Isn't OHIO proud! MUTILATE challenged SOUTHPOINT!
Who says ASSASSIN NATION are just a bunch of wimps! MUTILATE of ASSASSIN NATION kept
his wits as he was bested by SOUTHPOINT.
Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.
Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena. A
certain tavern in FRATSFA would I avoid!
Leave me now, you base fools! More important duties call me. Do not despair!
I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Severity -- Wow, you take your name SERIOUSLY, don't you? But the sand was
unnecessary. It was going Too Far. Really. -- Salina Rees
Akron -- I think YOU take your name TOO seriously, too! I mean, Akron? You spend
all your time trying to taste like burned coffee (shudder) and not enough time
practicing the gentle art of not looking like chopped liver (shudder) at the end of
the fight. -- Lena Koril
Vicious -- You're another one of 'em. *I* think it's because you're assassins, you
and Severity. That's enough to give anyone a serious, not to say cruel, personality.
Have you considered mood-altering drugs? -- Rendor Quil
P.S. Or a new job?
Toledo -- Oh, right, where the good steel comes from. (wincing) I noticed that. --
Tealin Sali
I suppose a polite beggar's better than a rude one, but once they start being polite,
they start expecting us to be "nice" to them. As if! He can go get a job if he
wants a little money. -- Norvan Patt the not-sympathetic
Mayhem -- (wink) I do know the one about the lobster and greased pig.... -- Lena
Koril

Battle Royal 4
The Battle Royal arena contests are one of the purest tests of manager skill
available. The rules are simple. The scoring is simple. The updates are live. If
you would like to participate, simply get a team ready in Talcama in the next month
and announce in the personals that you're in. The prize is bragging rights and
having your name along side previous winners (Doc Steele, Manray Frothingslosh, and
Manager). It is a brutal contest, but it is a lot of fun!
Basic rules: No avoiding other contest teams. Score = Wins + Kills - Losses.
Only fights against other BR teams count. First team to 25 wins!
BR4 begins in Talcama (DM 18) on turn 502, due on Jan 29, 2005.
