SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, ROCANIS? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Later days, KNIGHTS OF ROCANIS, since
BAD APPLES took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. Of course, we're
all terribly impressed to see HAWTHORN win a fight and gain 24 points, terribly.
Tsk, tsk, HAWTHORN beat SAGE and SAGE lost 19 points. You're breakin' my heart.
Going for broke or broken, our Duelmaster VEL STEELWIND Dark Arena Challenged this
turn. And if variety is the spice of life, ROCANIS may be getting bland, as AARON
stays top dog in the city. The Wanton Troll, humph! I've tasted better ale at
mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From ROCANIS' trash dumps?
My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start
talking.' I loved that woman. KNIGHTS OF ROCANIS, I suppose you'll be glad to know
you were this turn's most avoided team. Care to know who is the most afraid of you?
And who led the way in this mass act of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know?
It was AVERAGE GUYS. Ha ha ha ha!
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. AVERAGE GUYS has cause to pause today, as AARON was
sent to the Dark Arena, and came back--though not in the best of moods, I'll wager.
Gee, AVERAGE GUYS, ain't it past due for sending MATT Dark Arena? What took ol'
'16-4-0' so long? Hope? Ha ha aha ha! Now hey, I like to see a death as much as
the next guy, but hey AVERAGE GUYS, whyja send MATT to the Dark Arena, look at his
record, huh? Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is
developing these kinds of weapons?
There's got to be a better place in ROCANIS to get a drink than The Wanton
Troll! Any suggestions? Well, I've had enough of this drivel, and I'm sure you have
too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. Glad to see the back of this place--
Snide Clemens

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
