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. JURINE saw the first turn for
WARCKERS, a 5-0-2, and some teams are scared, others are too arrogant to notice.
Take note friends, take note. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see
CHOOLAKALAKA win a fight and gain 23 points, terribly. Going for broke or broken,
our Duelmaster PITSPAWN FOULDOG challenged this turn. And if variety is the spice of
life, JURINE may be getting bland, as SCYTHE stays top dog in the city. Kickbacks
and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think some of these guys win their
fights? Skill? Ha!
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.
JURINE, I am losing what little hope I had in you. ARENA FELINES the most avoided
team? What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And who led the way in this mass act
of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was BLADES OF TERROR. Ha ha ha ha!
Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, PITSPAWN FOULDOG was this turn's most challenged
warrior. Watch that ego swell, sports fans. I notice ROBESPIERRE challenging down
18 points to fight KETA, BLADES OF TERROR doubtless has some rotten excuse for such
an insult to honor. And golly gee, ROBESPIERRE bested KETA. Aren't we all surprised
and impressed? And we have SICKLE in a challenge, going down 11 points for the
fight. Guess what? I thought SICKLE showed great skill and promise when he bested
DREEN SELJIN. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for JURINE's
morgue. More variety. And now a passing thought on a warrior dying young (KJARRAN'S
UNIBROW of FEAR FACTORY): You had your chance and now you're dead. Oh well...
Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through use. Certain nameless
cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.
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! Just wait 'till next time I show
up here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah! Paste this one in your scrapbooks, you'll
need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens

Robespierre -- Listen, when I want a haircut, I'll just TELL you, okay? Now go away,
I have serious things to worry about. -- Keta
Jadra -- Your name is Ardaj spelled backward. I should have realized that and been
warned. -- Chillili Ches
Sickle -- Wow, you really are a sickie, aren't you? -- Dreen Seljin
P.S. Only a sickie, also known as a sicko, would defeat me. I am wonderful, you
understand. Just about perfect.

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

To all those lookin' for some easy pickins: I, Elfwine, manager of The Shallowship,
the most feared team in all of Jhelum, invite all who seek wide open spaces for pubs
and other such establishments of limited debauchery, to visit this deserted city and
help me clear up some of the dust. I'm just about ready to have my guys face off
against each other to get some new action. Guess I'd better join a tournament or
something...hmmmm, there's a thought.
