DM 75 JADE MOUNTAIN (turn 430): KORTO LU of SAND DANCERS (Jorja, mgr.) SPY REPORT You elder fighters surely remember me. The younger ones may call me Olaf Modeen. I return to ROCANIS once again! Biff! Pow! ROCANIS watched with glee as ON THE ROCKS got knocked off top spot by MIDDLE WAY 20! What's with IEZA VON DRAKA? She actually beat ON THE ROCKS' OPAL, and walked away with 18 more points from the fight. Laughs were big at INCONSISTENT FURY while they watched IEZA VON DRAKA clobber OPAL. He lost 14 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. Ya gotta watch yerself all the time. Even being on top don't mean yer safe. I'd have CRASH agree with me, but RYVAS VOLKMAURI killed him. I suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters? Tough! If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters don't accept this. The best do. How long have I been here? I got people to see, places to go... Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt. The end of another Spyreport! That's cause for celebration in my book! Time for my medication, so I'll leave now.

Seems to be my thing as of late. Just gained 71 points in Shadowspire and 82 in Murska. Now, watch me plummet! -- Bartender, mgr On the Rocks Erbin Goetz -- I come in all different hues. Man, woman, it's all a matter of perspective. For you, I'll be a woman. -- Opal Rirorni Thugs and Soldiers -- Thank you guys for helping us to a great record. Too bad you don't teach us much, though. -- Opal, Ruby, and Agate Forlis Hooler -- After all that effort I put, I believe I deserved to win. -- Onyx Gilpar Ibbins -- Hmm. They say your style is unhittable... ;) -- Garnet Jorja -- I'm impressed with your ability to come up with new and unique names. I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do with the initials HJ. -- Bartender Garnet -- I should've known! You come out in blood-red armor, and make ground meat out of me. It's probably a judgment. -- Gilpar Ibbins A Rirorni Spy. How... thrilling. -- Abelinda Chase P.S. And not Rirorni, either. Crash -- Did anybody get the number of that wagon? -- Erbin Goetz Pow! -- That, sir, was not the attempt of a gentleman! -- Debra Farin P.S. Oh. Sorry, I actually didn't intend to kill you. An opponent I can defeat is worth keeping alive, after all. Onyx -- Odd, everything looks... striped in black and white. Freakish. -- Forlis Hooler 26 July 2010 Some managers have attempted to send personals and columns to hal, and hal has been refusing to acknowledge their content. I don't know what hal's problem is, specifically, but for best success, send PLAIN TEXT (dot txt) in the body of the email. Not attachments. Thank you. -- the Editor 19 August 10 POSTED: Arena recruitment effort, DM 32, Arvat -- seeing as our arena Participation has dwindled in recent months, we're offering the following incentive to any new teams looking for a new home arena. We will GIVE a Free Rollup to any manager willing to agree to fight in Arvat for the next 10 turns. We have a number of VERY solid arena teams stockpiled, and while we don't promise tournament godlings, we are certain we can come up with teams with 3, 4 or even 5 solid arena warriors to start out with. In addition we'll honor any no-challenge requests by relatively new managers to help you get off on the right foot. If interested, please contact the Devil Advocates via Diplo or contact theDarkOne via IM on the www DOT reality DOT com site. We will even give a choice of teams available if requested.
