SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly AMEN-TEI games. MEAN JOE GREEN caught the eye of many
in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested HITCH HIKER and was awarded 26
points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, MEAN JOE GREEN put
down HITCH HIKER, causing him to lose 23 points of recognition in the process. Due
to his absence and inability to defend the throne, SABURO SAKAI has lost the title of
Duelmaster. This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper. All hail BOUNCING
BEA, Duelmaster of AMEN-TEI! Heed this! A seer has warned that if exactly 6 die in
duels this week, the whole city shall perish! Just remember...5 or 7!
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. My inside sources tell me that the
team to beat in AMEN-TEI these days is UN. At least, most blades in town are looking
to avoid them. Apparently the stalwarts of COLOURED PEOPLE are catching the bulk of
jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids.
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! Some say a warrior is judged by the way he bears
arms. One thing is sure, better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in AMEN-TEI. Nice atmosphere you have here! More than a sharp eye must I
keep, indeed a stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari
await me! Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a
maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Saburo Sakai -- Finally! Thank you. I didn't have a single 'nother thing to say in
a column. -- Roadblock
Ah, the Veteran Mercenary. How thrilling. -- Bouncing Bea
P.S. Still, he's a lot more fun than the Dangerous Criminal, aka Ruthless Jaywalker.
Shinden-Kai -- I had sunscreen on. It makes a difference. -- Hitch Hiker
Furtive Returns II -- Your name is too long, and your team name is too long, and we
here think you should either die or graduate, because you just don't fit on the
forms. -- Avalanch Lily
Hayabusa -- Of course I don't kill houseplants! I like them! -- Tom-Tom Tora

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
