SPY REPORT
Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day,
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! THE EXILED ONES had cause to celebrate, after
ATRION got 23 points by beating RUTHLESS JAYWALKER. A certain someone should cut
down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 7 points to ZANTHOR. (Discrete
enough, GALATIANS HAMMER?) VALNAKAUR found out that AMEN-TEI isn't a democracy.
You've gotta be the best to be Duelmaster here! Word has it one team in AMEN-TEI is
taking speech lessons to try to bore their opponent to death. I'll bet it works.
So much to report, so little time! Like a horde of jackals fleeing from the
lion, so did the "warriors" in AMEN-TEI avoid THE EXILED ONES. Like a pup with its
tail between its legs, OXYMORONS scurried away from THE EXILED ONES. Oh, the shame!
Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and LEVITICUS HAMMER is it right now. Most
challenged warrior. Isn't BIBLICAL HAMMERZ proud! JESPIX found himself challenged
by a warrior 21 below: SURE BET. SURE BET of OXYMORONS kept his wits as he was beat
by JESPIX.
Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.
Oh hard! that to strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!
Leave me now, you base fools! Keep those sands bloody and the buzzards fat!
AMEN-TEI, I leave you now. The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Swinging
Aardvark. 'Til next time-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Elephant Dung -- Oh, gods, you did it again. Learned four skills off me... (heavy
sigh) I guess I live to serve. Only I thought I was supposed to be serving, you
know, tacos. Enchiladas. FOOD. Not skills. Well, I guess, given the way the ranks
look, we're probably stuck with each other, challenges or no. Try not to kill me,
okay? -- Valnakaur
Celedon -- I was *going* to say, "Gee, you don't look gray-green." But Jorja smacked
me upside the head, damned violent wench that she is, and told me that the color I'm
thinking of is spelled celadon, and you're something else. To wit, some guy. Right.
Okay. Teach me some skills next time, huh? -- Hyram Carter
Dimaggio -- Much can be forgiven a good student who also LOSES the fight. Gracefully
done. You get a gold star. Well, maybe a silver star. Nah, you taught me, too, so
it can be a gold one. If there are any, where the heck did I put that box? I know
it's around here somewhere. -- M.T. Lane
Atrion -- Did you get exiled for being obnoxiously superior? Because I bet you were,
*I* know about elves. Besides, much as it pains me to admit it, you ARE superior. I
hate that. -- Yalo Tactsie
P.S. What I really don't understand is why I'm on THIS team instead of down in
Cliffhome. One of the inscrutabilities of the universe, I guess.
Zephania Hammer -- I think the problem is your hair. That's totally a "nothing" do,
by which I mean it does nothing for you. You need a trim for the split ends, maybe a
rinse--not a DYE, just a little brightener to bring out what you have, and, well,
let's face it, a perm. We can fix this. Come on by our place and well get right to
it. -- Cruzia Gardett

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
2 February 2008
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
