SPY REPORT
Hail ILLIS! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your
deeds. It seems the training can make the difference, as X RATED KNIGHTS is pushed
out of top team by CHAPEL ROCK, who came from 2nd with a 1-4-0 this turn. And let's
see, BOBBING CORPSE fought OIL SPILL and gained 18 points and contributed to BOOK OF
THOMAS' 3-0-0. TOM BLIGH has lost to DISCIPLE, falling 10 points, while helping make
ISLANDERS a 2-3-0 turn. CLAYBORN challenged for the Duelmastership this turn,
attempting to dethrone BASHAHOLICS ANON's warrior. Defending his title for another
turn, WITHDRAWAL kept NEXUS 5's warrior, CLAYBORN, from claiming the throne. Tell
me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Dripping
Blade uses trolls in their stew. Talk about gristle!
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one. IMPROVED ILLUSION has cause to stand
tall, as they were ILLIS' most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to
beat. And avoiding IMPROVED ILLUSION more than any other team we find CHAPEL ROCK.
ILLIS, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? The most challenged
warrior this turn was IMPROVED ILLUSION's warrior ZARUKO. More fighters challenged
her than challenged the Duelmaster!
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. We'd like to remind certain teams
not to rob the graves of their enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered
rude.
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. Well, I'm burning daylight here in ILLIS and I've a long road
ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until you see my quill in ILLIS again, farewell--
Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
For the Cincy FtF, Mannequin/Crip are organizing a visit to the Great American Ball
Park on the Friday night (16 Jul, 7:10 start time) to watch the Reds/Brewers game. If
interested, please contact Crip through gwerner - @ - twcny dot rr dot com. Because
of Covid, tickets are being sold in specific pods, so if 8 people want to go, we may
have to sit in two different groups. Please respond by 1 May if interested so we can
pre-purchase the tickets. -- Crip & Mannequin
These may be late. So be it. -- Jorja
Withdrawal -- Good going, take the title on a win, it isn't like I need a win to
leave. -- Pearl
Barnabas -- Not my finest hour. -- Oil Spill
Jar of Clay -- I've heard of gladiators who lose because they're head down in a wine
bottle, but a clay jar? What's IN that thing? -- Harbor Seal
Jenna Jameson -- Change your train. It'll take you nowhere good. -- Shoo-Cha
Cadey Mercury -- Change your train before it runs off the bridge. -- Tom Bligh
These personals should be current. -- Jorja, Islanders, catching up
Barnabas -- Didn't we just do this? -- Harbor Seal, probably endangered
ghost of Mushizo -- That was not my intent. I will burn candles for you. -- Tom Bligh
Rocco Siffredi -- I don't know what the Commission is thinking. I don't know what
JORJA is thinking. But the bed rest is good. -- Oil Spill
Mandingo -- A win and skills. This is good. Let me buy you a coconut. Not a simple
matter, since they don't grow here, too cold. -- Shoo-cha
