DM 61 JURINE (turn 360): DELORES of FAVORITE GUYS (Jorja, mgr.) SPY REPORT Greetings, Warriors of ROCANIS. Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to give you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport. Practice pays for MR. SANDMAN, who pummelled PRIVET, to pocket 23 points. PRIVET certainly had a baffled expression on his face, after losing to MR. SANDMAN and losing 13 points in the process! In ROCANIS, nothing is permanent (except Death), and we find ourselves a new Duelmaster, KID QUICK. So who's the team that's been walking into taverns last week and ordering milk? Sounds like a PR stunt to me. A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the little birds cry out?' Any ideas? To quell some nasty rumors, the guys in REDHORSE are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need to avoid 'em. Like a pup with its tail between its legs, TOOLS OF TORMENT scurried away from REDHORSE. Oh, the shame! Is it charming personality? Conversational abilities? Good oral hygiene? Whatever it is, BITTER VETCH is the most challenged warrior. Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors. Q: What's a record like 14-6-1 get you? A: A free trip to the Dark Arena! This week's winner: MECHANISM of TOOLS OF TORMENT! Admittedly Death waits for no one, but me thinks MECHANISM of TOOLS OF TORMENT (14-6-1) is being sent off a little prematurely. Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen into an unconscious stupor. Leave me now, you base fools! More important duties call me. Can anything compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for ROCANIS? On that giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME KID QUICK 3846 12 5 2 100 PUNCH-OUT!

It's hard to come up with new things to say after all these months. Pronghorn -- I thought you might be a "ram in a thicket," but it turns out not. At least, not now. -- Privet Eats Grass -- I wish you'd stop. It makes me queasy just thinking about it. -- Large Dog Mr. Sandman -- Suddenly I feel sleepy, very sleepy.... -- Pieface 27 June 2005 ATTENTION ALL YOU ALLIANCE-TYPE PEOPLE: For the purposes of tourney newsletter alliance listings (when I am able to do them), you may only be listed in ONE alliance. In other words, you have to choose! If you are a part of Englebert's Alliance and Englebert's Alliance is "part" of Ruthrauf's Alliance, I will list you EITHER as part of Englebert's Alliance OR as part of Ruthrauf's Alliance, NOT both. The default would be the top-level alliance, Ruthrauf's, in this example. If you'd rather be listed separately, let me know and I will do so, but that will be the only listing you get. -- The Saint, keeper of ever- more-complicated lists 29 Jun 2005 The Company of Brothers (TCB) welcomes two new members to our alliance...Liam the Goth and Buddy Lee. We have no doubt that they will prove to be assets to our alliance and the general dueling community. -- Baphomet, co-founder, T.C.B.
