SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
JURINE brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Later days, FAVORITE GUYS, since
ARENA FELINES took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. Of course,
we're all terribly impressed to see CHICKEN POODLE SOUP win a fight and gain 22
points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, CHILLILI CHES beat FRAY AL ZANRA and FRAY AL ZANRA lost
11 points. You're breakin' my heart. Looks like JURINE has some guts at least, COOL
CAT the Duelmaster was this turn's most-challenged warrior. And if variety is the
spice of life, JURINE may be getting bland, as COOL CAT stays top dog in the city.
I'm not in a very good mood today, but why am I telling you this? You want to know
what's new, don't you, JURINE?
My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start
talking.' I loved that woman.
Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and
gone, and get to see if their team cared. I could say I saw this coming, but so
could anyone else. Anyway, this turn it came. PUTTY TAT's 7-5-3 has earned him the
Dark Arena. We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if the fate catches up
with you sooner that later?
What does the JURINE arena have in common with the inns? It's just as
comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Phlllt! Just had to do that
before I leave the fine city of JURINE. I feel much better now. Glad to see the
back of this place-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
Delores -- You have good defenses. It's a good thing too. Some of those shots you
took were killers. -- Saba El Keer
Cool Cat -- Why haven't you graduated!? Get it over with already! I want to fight
Tail In The Air! We still need to avenge the death of Yura Sissy! -- Draco El Tannin
Embezzling Scribe is useless. Didn't teach me anything. -- Xander Haxan
Well, there is one less beggar on the streets and I got my first kill. Three more
and I'll catch up to Draco. -- Fray Al Zanra
Jurine -- We're back! We'll stick around awhile this time. Where did everybody go?!
Oh well, I like small arenas. Arena Felines, Favorite Guys, I guess it's just the
three of us for awhile. -- Noachian, mgr. Blade and Blood
Kit-Kat -- I can always be distracted with chocolate. -- Keta
Saba El Keer -- This is not the "welcome back" I had in mind for you. I was thinking
more along the lines of, "you lose and you learn." Oh, well. -- Delores
Veteran of what, I wonder? -- Ms S.B. Anthony
Putty Tat -- Dammit, that was NOT what I needed today. -- Ghost of Beniri B'Ran
M.C. Cat -- (sigh) But at least we're always there for each other. -- Matteo
Ed. -- Nah, he wasn't tough enough for that. But all bag-boys need to learn
toughness. And when to put the loaf of bread under the gallon of milk, with a dozen
eggs to cushion things. -- Ghost of Freddie
Obviously people are buying wimpy bread, if that's a problem! -- Ed.
12 January 2005

Massacre Kill Contest will begin. The rules are simple; the team with the most kills

DOOMcorps crush all challengers? Will the kLk prevail? Or will you be the
independent manager to show that alliances aren't all that? Come on to Jhans and
let's find out!
Prizes are: 1st. Renaming of a Dark Arena monster and five roll-up
certificates or $25.00 deposited in your account.
2nd. Renaming of a Stand-In monster.
Come on and celebrate the Delarquan way!
