SPY REPORT
Greetings, Warriors of VALAMANTIS. Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to
give you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport. Practice pays for
T.R., who pummelled PROSTITUTE, to pocket 19 points. PROSTITUTE certainly had a
baffled expression on hers face, after losing to T.R. and losing 12 points in the
process! What can be a greater victory? JEFFRO has taken his place as the top, as
VALAMANTIS' new Duelmaster. So who's the team that's been walking into taverns last
week and ordering milk? Sounds like a PR stunt to me.
So much to report, so little time! Perhaps the warriors of MIDDLE WAY 10 should
take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team... Like a pup with its tail
between its legs, MIDGETS scurried away from MIDDLE WAY 10. Oh, the shame! Everyone
is famous for fifteen minutes, and MERCURY is it right now. Most challenged warrior.
Isn't LEGION OF LEGEND proud! UMPALOOMPA challenged MERCURY! Who says MIDGETS are
just a bunch of wimps! UMPALOOMPA of MIDGETS kept his wits as he was killed by
MERCURY.
The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on... A moment of silence
for UMPALOOMPA, who died an untimely death at the hands of MERCURY. In the spirit of
revenge, we call upon MIDGETS to act! Ask not for whom the sword slashes; it slashes
for thee.
Leave me now, you base fools! Keep those sands bloody and the buzzards fat!
Can anything compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for VALAMANTIS? On that
giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Died -- Deid? No arena by that name that I can recall. Or style, or anything. How
can you possibly have a name that isn't something else spelled backward? -- Dana
Friss
P.S. Not that I would urge anybody to come out with Esle Gnihtemos for a name.
P.P.S. Managers are very strange sometimes.
Iskso -- You should sign yourself Iskso of Osksi, which I always thought was a tricky
name to say or spell anyway, not that I ever got ASKED about it. -- Chia Edel,
heiress to a naming convention no more...uh, not much different in its way
P.S. Thank you for the skills. Always good to have, skills.
The Fratsfa Slave isn't even BLOND. I feel so cheated, I was all SET for this slim,
handsome, pointy-eared BLOND, and then...this. Oh, well. At least he isn't an orc.
Or a dwarvish giant. -- Bali Darras
Silli -- You should be female. You're letting down the Guy Side by accepting such a
name while remaining male. -- Erfin Goram
P.S. Would it do any good to suggest you go back to Yllis?
P.P.S. Hey, I wonder if we could get 'em to change the name of the islands to Yllis?
Tell 'em it's more exotic or something.
Umpaloompa -- Neat name. And obviously a substantial brain on hand to learn that
much from me, who doesn't know much. -- Finilla Hars

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.
28 March 2006
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
