SPY REPORT
Hail VALAMANTIS! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for
your deeds. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown
for SOCCER STUDS, whose 0-1-0 this turn dropped them by 7 into 14th. SAMURAI KIDS II
stable has parlayed this turn's 5-0-1 into a 3 space move up the rankings. This
brings them up to 2nd place. Good work, guys! And let's see, DADDY fought DAWNRACER
and gained 20 points and contributed to MIKE'S INK's 1-0-0. DAWNRACER has lost to
DADDY, falling 16 points, while helping make MITHRAL HALO a 1-4-0 turn. The attempts
to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and RAY remains VALAMANTIS' top warrior for
another turn. By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped
under the table at Doom's Dome?
The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more
could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that. I also notice that the LATE SHOW
stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on VALAMANTIS, what are you afraid
of? And guess who avoided LATE SHOW stable the most? Believe it or not, it was
SAMURAI KIDS II. Anyone surprised? The most challenged warrior this turn was LATE
SHOW's warrior CARSON DAILY. More fighters challenged him than challenged the
Duelmaster! In a fit of brilliance or of stupidity (hard to say sometimes), DAVID
LETTERMAN challenged BLACK WIDOW today, facing a 26 difference in recognition. But
when the dust settled, DAVID LETTERMAN had lost to BLACK WIDOW, and LATE SHOW left
DAVID LETTERMAN doing chores when they went to the tavern. Better luck next time.
In a brave attempt, JACOB from THE BOLT challenged up 18 points to fight CARSON DAILY
from the LATE SHOW stable. JACOB perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he
defeated CARSON DAILY and ended up with 51 recognition points.
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. Is it really true that VALAMANTIS has more dishwashers per capita that
fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. Always good to rest in VALAMANTIS, but never good to wear out my
welcome. Look for me in future turns. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to
paper-- Alarond the Scribe

Tmoney -- Hey man, congrats on getting Anders graduated. Must admit that was an
accomplishment. -- Barnabas
Hombre -- Your pal, Hombre-- Hombre who? You that guy I met way back when I first
started playing the game? Yeah, I remember you, killed a warrior of mine and then
went into hiding ever since. Dude, that was months ago, and you say nice of me to
pop in. Hopefully you'll stick around for a while, then maybe Soultaker will start
fighting more than one guy at a time. -- Barnabas
Soultaker -- Yeah you, what are you on some kind of a fixed budget, can only fight
one at a time, or did the sloshers tell you you could only fight one at a time. :) --
Barnabas
Master Evil -- What happened, stud, a while back you stated this would be an arena
you were gonna stick with. I didn't run you out of here already, did I? -- Barnabas
Frizzel -- Dude, you need to calm down on the meds. Duelmaster for one turn, yeah I
told Hombre I'd throw the fight so his little warrior could get the crown. I may
take it back this turn, although I don't want to run a new manager out of the game so
maybe I'll let him enjoy the spotlight a turn or two. :) -- Barnabas
Ray -- Don't make me sic Aklar on ya. -- Dawnracer
Spencer -- Don't make me sic Dawnracer on ya. -- Aklar
Seraphim -- Welcome to Valamantis, good luck! -- Barnabas
Indimar -- Thanks, do you know who Hombre is? -- Barnabas
Rillion -- You catch that one at a time disease from Soultaker? -- Barnabas
Better Not Die -- You're pretty dumb to challenge me. I guess you're also a little
lucky. See you on the sands chump. Bizoo--yah. -- Arsenio Hall
Kill Me -- Man did that take a long time. I almost fell asleep. -- Bruce Willis
Black Widow -- I gotta give it up to the better warrior. Nice match. -- Jimmy Kimmel
Names -- Is that steam coming out of your ears? One of "Tmonkey's flunkey's"
warriors beat you?! He he he. -- Carson Daily
Hombre -- That's the first of many losses my team will add to your record. --
Jeffrizzel the bizzel foshizzel
Indimar -- Lucky for Tmoney, Hombre has my attention now. -- SunGod
Hombre -- I stand corrected. I did challenge with Running. And what's all this
about me tryin' to be honorable?! You have no idea who I am do you? Believe me,
your idea of honor and mine are as different as night and day. -- SunGod, The Firm
P.S. I take it you manage "The Bolt"?

WE'RE LOOKING FOR A FEW GOOD MANAGERS! If you think you have what it takes to match
wits and blades with some of the best managers in Alastari, then WE WANT YOU! The
Tournament Of The Golden Scrod #4 will begin in Aradi (DM 60) the turn after the Fall
Mail-In. It's not too late for you to sign up. I realize that many of you may be
hesitant after seeing that myself and Hombre have teamed up again, but we'll try to
take it easy on you guys a little bit. For more information on T#%S IV, please
contact me at ganolus@aol.com. We're looking for a few good managers...the few, the
proud, the TOGS!

An Announcement Concerning the Brotherhood of the Blade Alliance:
I have chosen to withdraw my membership from the Brotherhood of the Blade
alliance. The years I have spent in the alliance have been the best of my DM career.
I leave the alliance with many great friends and will always remain close to my
former brethren.
The Brotherhood of the Blade will not skip a beat without my membership. It
remains in very capable hands and its roster is among the strongest in the game.
With the return on some of its founding members to DM, I know the BOB will continue
to grow in strength and prestige in the years to come. -- The Sandman
