DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Honestly, the Veteran Mercenary? I mean, I kinda like the guy, but doesn't
anyone else care to contest the title?
Tom-Tom Tora
SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report. Sit
back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis. Hey everybody,
watch out for MINERVA MIST, who flew up 6 points in the rankings after mashing
SHIFTYEYED VOLUNTEER like a melon. Keep your eye on this gal. Ya know, some days it
doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. BRESAL BASALT was bested by RUTHLESS JAYWALKER
and drops 12 points. Our battling duelmaster TOM-TOM TORA has managed to hold the
title, fending off CLE's none too subtle advances. Better luck next time, UN. 4 out
of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at that location.
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the AMEN-TEI arena. And hey,
kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid WAYFARERS, please raise you hand. Wow. Does
AMEN-TEI really have that many liars? And you guys like to boo me? Well, unsling
your rasberries, cause UN beats feet every time WAYFARERS smiles at them. Try
farming, eh? Well dang howdy, but if challenges were votes, LENNALGIRE would be
president. Although it may be a contest she doesn't want to win.
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Here's some advice: warriors
with little wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. Well, there goes another Spy Report. Good luck in
next week's fights. And remember, you can pick your friends and you can pick
your--(loud boos), oh, you've heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
M.T. Lane -- No fair fighting like that. It is so unexpected from the likes of you,
it confuses me. -- Airavata
Lennalgire -- That was perfect. An easy fight and lots of skills. We'll do it
again. -- Bresal Basalt
Airavata -- (puzzled look) I thought that was a valley southeast of the sun? -- M.T.
Lane
M. Chardinee was kind enough to give me a couple of skills for a parting gift. Does
that mean I have to leave? I thought I might go into quiet retirement in the area.
-- Slippery
M. Chardinee must have been wearied by his match with Slippery, or else he considers
me less worthy. He only taught ME one skill. -- Valnakaur
P.S. Sure, Slippery's a Lord Protector now, but *I* am the one who really NEEDS
skills here.
Bresal Basalt -- You came down on me like a ton of rocks. Ouch. -- Lennalgire
Ed. -- Firecrackers? -- Jorja
I suppose they ARE in season. -- Ed.
9 July 2007
I have not been receiving my physical turns in a reliable manner lately. If there
are diplos with the turns that go missing, they're gone for good. So if you send me
a diplo and do not see an acknowledgement of receipt in the personals, know that I
have not gotten it (yet). If you have email, contact me at Livia AT reality DOT com.
If you don't have email, keep trying with the diplos. We are working on this
problem. -- the Scribe/Jorja/Leeta
P.S. If you email me, put "Re DM" on the subject line.
