SPY REPORT
Hail VALAMANTIS! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for
your deeds. And let's see, ZESPEE KOO fought EMBEZZLING SCRIBE and gained 17 points
and contributed to FLAGG'S DEVASTATORS' 4-1-0. INVUR KREB has lost to BEARFACE,
falling 14 points, while helping make MIDDLE WAY 10 a 2-2-0 turn. And all eyes were
on DARTH SCION this turn as he ascended to the throne of Duelmaster. VALAMANTIS has
a new victor! Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable sources
that Drake's Lodge uses trolls in their stew. Talk about gristle!
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one. I also notice that the DEATH MOB stable
was the most avoided team this turn. Come on VALAMANTIS, what are you afraid of?
And guess who avoided DEATH MOB stable the most? Believe it or not, it was THE
BEARS. Anyone surprised? The most challenged warrior this turn was RANDOM SITH's
warrior DARTH SIDIUS. More fighters challenged him than challenged the Duelmaster!
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

PERSONAL ADS
Fratsfa Slave? Please! This is an insult to all gladiators who study, practice, and
risk their lives on the sands of Valamantis. -- Donetta Faldour
Darth Bane -- You'd probably do better against your fellow Darths, don't you think?
You might be their bane, after all! -- Gormoduc Irn
Somehow I expected more from a Dangerous Criminal. Must've been an off-day for him.
-- Invur Kreb
Bearface -- I don't know, I suppose that's meant to be an insult, and maybe for an
elf it is, but really, we humans look to the spirit within, and yours is, um...clean
and strong? -- Chea Edel
Ghost of The Grudge -- Good riddance. Grudges ruffle the smooth surface of
civilization. -- Laundesant, Master of Spies for Valamantis
(sound of badly muffled laughter)
Sitalva -- I can be civilized! -- Laundesant, Master of Spies for Valamantis
Darth Sidius -- In my younger days, that might have gone differently. Not that I was
every outstandingly good against dwarves. -- Karogedh of Rithakar, Veteran Mercenary
Donetta Faldour -- (whine, cringe) -- Ariealliethin, Enslaved and All But Destroyed
by the Evil Fratsfans
Invur Kreb -- We will have a rematch, and somewhere more private. -- Al'Sinj, Tall,
Blond, and Dangerous
Darth Krayt -- Do you think beggars grow on trees? Don't do that again. -- Sigrimor,
Master of Beggars

CALLING ALL THUGS, BRUTES, OGRES, QUARTER HALF WITS, SHALLOW HALBERD ENTHUSIASTS AND
MAUL RATS: Since the Bashing style has often been maligned in the forums, it is time
to give the style a little tough love with the following concept: An ALL-BASHER
arena. The rules are simple--enter the arena as a rookie basher. That's it. RSI
said I need to get 20 managers on board and I'm about half way there. If you are
interested in taking part, PM me in the forums or email me: chase at accesspr.com
and put D2 in the subject header.
Chase a.k.a. SwineTiger

ATTENTION EVERYONE -- In March I am going to do manager lists for all arenas. This
is part of my ongoing and undoubtedly largely futile attempt to get my lists
organized. If you think I might not know who you are or if you think I might and
you'd rather I not share that information, let me know this month! You can e-mail
me at Sue at solberg dash mathews dot com (replacing the at, dash and dot with
appropriate characters. You can send a diplo to The Saint. You can put an ad in
the newsletter. Semaphore doesn't work so well, nor does telepathy. -- The Saint,
keeper of lists
