SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in
ROCANIS. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid! We
now have a new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on. GET now holds the crown
and they are betting they can keep it. For every winner there is a loser. Speaking
of losers, lets take a look at ARNIE'S ARMY, who went down to 1st from 5th. Life is
tough. Hey everybody, watch out for JONNA THANE, who flew up 25 points in the
rankings after mashing BENT like a melon. Keep your eye on this gal. And falling
like a basher in the top ten was BENT, who dropped 20 points after a disappointing
(to say the least) bout with JONNA THANE. Going for the gusto and coming up with
aught but bloody knuckles was REDHORSE's EATS GRASS, who was turned away from the
Duelmastership by TOE. 4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try and
avoid aiming at that location.
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the ROCANIS arena. Did you
hear that PHILANTHROPISTS was most avoided team this week? Well, knowing the
personal hygiene of PHILANTHROPISTS' warriors, I'm not surprised! Okay, so I may not
be funny, but catch ELEVENTH HOUR's act in the arena. Those acrobats seem to be
fairly deft at running from PHILANTHROPISTS. Well just about everybody wants a piece
of MICHELLE, who was this week's most challenged warrior. In a touching display by a
'touched' warrior, NIKALA went after DALE, who was higher by 24 points. Well, when
the dust settled, NIKALA was beat by DALE.
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
Rescue Rangers -- You kept the gravedigger in new boots last week! Zipper couldn't
go undefeated anyway; the space time continuum would no doubt abruptly stop and all
we know would cease to exist if a JE managed warrior ever accomplished such a feat!
-- Ultraist, mgr. Blackened Pride
P.S. Tough loss.
Michelle -- Well, darn. I didn't need that. -- Ghost of Large Dog
Temb -- You call that a rescue? -- Jonna Thane
Windswept -- You messed up my hair! -- Thorn
Red Filly -- Ha! Thanks. I'm glad that *I* am the one with a win here. -- Forluitha
I hate archers. -- Treekiller
Valamond -- How could I get it? I've never even heard of "indiana." -- Treekiller
Vanessa -- Trees can be vindictive, that is true. -- Treekiller
Gray Colt -- So I used two ens instead of two aes, sue me. I didn't LIKE spelling it
"Joana," okay? -- Jonna Thane
It -- Learning five skills and getting an Advanced Expert rating on your seventh
fight is just a bit over the top, don't you think? As bright as you are, why did
your manager give you a warrior name like "It"? -- Eats Grass
Bent -- Don't worry about me, they sewed it back on. -- Yul
Preston -- You'll want to lower your kill desire there, big guy. You don't want to
be bloodfeuded by the mighty Redhorse. -- Gray Colt
Thorn -- I won, I won! Woo hoo! Uh, I know you're not supposed to train stats yet,
but maybe you need to train your strength just a little bit, if you want to win any
fights. -- Windswept
P.S. This was my team's only win in the last three turns. Hoof and Horn, what a
pack of...well, people with other stuff higher on their priority lists than
practicing.
Forluitha -- Who is Luitha? Your mom? -- Red Filly
Scribe -- I'm still enjoying the story! Thanks for writing it. -- manager of
Redhorse (I don't know who, because Mila isn't around at the moment)
11 April 2006
To all those lookin' for some easy pickins: I, Elfwine, manager of The Shallowship,
the most feared team in all of Jhelum, invite all who seek wide open spaces for pubs
and other such establishments of limited debauchery, to visit this deserted city and
help me clear up some of the dust. I'm just about ready to have my guys face off
against each other to get some new action. Guess I'd better join a tournament or
something...hmmmm, there's a thought.
3 May 2006
All -- I've seen what's on the forum. So I'm prey, am I, Max. You and all your
devious buddies will become my prey, even those I thought okay. I don't have to
explain anything I do, much like yourselves so bring it on. Feel free to come over
to 31 for a thrashing. Oh, by the way, I am also in a new alliance. They tend to
share my sentiments about the VC. If they follow me or not, we will see; I'm not at
liberty to talk for them. The VC may be on their last stand!!!! -- Blackstorm
