SPY REPORT
Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day,
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! The boys at FEAR FACTORY left the arena
dejected, after being kicked out of the top spot by BLADES OF TERROR. Good show!
PHILANTHROPISTS had cause to celebrate, after YARANQUA got 16 points by beating
EMBEZZLING SCRIBE. Those who hoped for a new Duelmaster were disappointed by VETERAN
MERCENARY, of JURINE, who despite a 0-0-0 couldn't overcome JURINE's Number 1. Word
has it one team in JURINE is taking speech lessons to try to bore their opponent to
death. I'll bet it works.
A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the
little birds cry out?' Any ideas? Perhaps the warriors of FEAR FACTORY should take
up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team... The warriors of FEAR FACTORY
found their efforts at combat frustrated as BLADES OF TERROR apparently had more
important things to do than fight. Is it charming personality? Conversational
abilities? Good oral hygiene? Whatever it is, KETA is the most challenged warrior.
My love of complete Spyreports dictates that I note the mismatched fight, ROBESPIERRE
and KETA. Are BLADES OF TERROR unwilling to engage in a fair fight? I thought
ROBESPIERRE showed great skill and promise when he beat KETA. All right, so I slept
through it! Big deal!
The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on... Questions are being
raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena. A certain tavern in
JURINE would I avoid!
All good things must come to an end. As the seasons change, and the creatures
of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave this place. JURINE, I
leave you now. The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Welcome Wench. 'Til
next time-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Robespierre -- I'm shaking in my shoes. (yawn) What are you going to do to me, put
me at risk of death? The arena does that already. -- Keta
Xander Haxan -- Not yet, boy, but you do sustain damage well. -- Randy
Damn those Dangerous Criminals! They're TOO dangerous, and desperately cunning, as
well. -- Chillili Ches
A Cult Member? Here? That's almost a joke. What, does he worship a weird, vulture-
headed type of supposed deity? -- Dreen Seljin the Tactless and Unwise
Karb -- Here today, gone after the tourney? -- Laelkorissa

A few notes about e-mailed personals:
You may submit personal ads, columns, spotlights, etc. electronically, either via e-
mail to ads at reality dot com (which doesn't need any more spam, thank you) 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.

We of the Desolate Empire Alliance want to welcome two managers to our fold. Kon of
the Empire Rising, and Osiris! May they be blessed with the blood of their enemies,
and give no quarter in War! -- Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire
