SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly JURINE games. Fortune did not smile upon ARENA
FELINES this time out who this turn suffered a fall into 6th position in the wake of
a 0-1-0 round. JADRA caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he
skillfully bested PAWS and was awarded 22 points in recognition. In one of the
week's more notable duels, JADRA put down PAWS, causing him to lose 21 points of
recognition in the process. Who here was not present for the title fight this week
as SCYTHE boldly challenged PITSPAWN FOULDOG in order to strive for the Duelmasters
honors? This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper. All hail SCYTHE,
Duelmaster of JURINE! Would you believe that over half of the old women in JURINE
seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators?
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. I saw one fighter that warriors
avoided when this week's challenge seeking began. BLADE AND BLOOD is feared. This
much I can say. If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to
find any of BLADES OF TERROR last week. Busy avoiding BLADE AND BLOOD? Loose talk
at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters
are after ROBESPIERRE. Watch your back! A match that raised a few eyebrows at the
games this week, it seems that ADEMA posted a challenge against the more highly
recognized SHIVAREE SJDEN. The results, you ask? Well, the firebrand ADEMA won
victory over SHIVAREE SJDEN. Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel. I
can not but mention with disdain the name of ROBESPIERRE who this week posted a
challenge to a warrior a full 8 points below in the rankings. I thought ROBESPIERRE
showed great skill and promise when he beat KETA. All right, so I slept through it!
Big deal!
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena
there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
The girls are as pretty in JURINE as ever I remembered them....and the fighters
as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! More than a sharp eye must I keep, indeed
a stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari await me!
Till next we meet remember: a fool flies into a rage quickly and often. The wise
are angered by the same thing only once. Zontani Sharp Eyes

A few notes about e-mailed personals:
You may submit personal ads, columns, spotlights, etc. electronically, either via e
mail or on the web at http://www.reality.com/duel2/modules.php?name=Ads. When you
submit something, you should get back a receipt from HAL at RSI. If you do NOT get
a receipt, your ads may have gone astray (not all e-mail makes it to its destination
any more than all snail mail does). If you DO get a receipt, it should, in the body
of the message, tell you what arena your stuff was filed in. Check your receipt to
make sure your submission made it to the intended destination. Also check to see
that everything you sent made it to the same place. Sometimes HAL, who is rather
simple-minded in some ways, will send half your stuff to another arena if the name
or number of that arena shows up at the beginning of a line. So if the word Ti
appears at the beginning of a line halfway through your ads, all the ads after that
may end up in Ti, which is closed and doesn't need ads. As a side note, sometimes
things move slowly, so don't wait until the last minute to send your ads and all.
If they get held up along the way, they may not show up until next turn. Happy
writing! -- Ed.
