SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in DAL
SHANG. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid! Coming
up with a solid 1-0-0 outing, TOO GOOD FOR ME has advanced 3 places in the rankings.
Hey everybody, watch out for TITANIA, who flew up 13 points in the rankings after
mashing KOREEN like a melon. Keep your eye on this gal. And falling like a basher
in the top ten was MURGON, who dropped 10 points after a disappointing (to say the
least) bout with MASTER OF THE EDGE. Well, if ya don't shows up at the laundromat,
ya can'ts wash yer clothes. METHADONE did not fight this week so his title was
forfeit. In front of all the crowds, TITANIA took the Duelmaster's crown for hers
own. I give the bum two weeks. Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a
bigger halberd!
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Ask not the elves for counsel,
for they will say both yes and no. Silly buggers, eh?
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian,
but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. Hasta la bye-bye. (Loud
choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Methadone -- I couldn't fight you, I had SUCH a headache.... -- Dilys tyl Kogan
Ah, standbys! And she's such a sweet little thing. -- Ming the Terrible
Titania -- I wish you wouldn't do that! -- Jesse Tavan
P.S. Win, I mean.
Not all standbys are nice guys. -- Durvan
Durvan -- Right, someone has to fight YOU, after all. *I* had a very nice fellow,
and we're going out for drinks afterward. -- Kassela tyl Dru
And the Refugees go three-one against nothing but standbys. (sigh) I don't need
this. -- Zarla

All Readers -- Due to the pressures resulting from preparing for and dealing with the
Face to Face, no spotlights will be written until it's over. -- the Scribe
17 July 2004
I am currently trying to put together a favorites chart for AD warriors. I
desperately need help with this. What I need are style, favorite rhythm (ex.:
hi/low), favorite weapons, and tactics. What would be great is if you could send me
a copy of the invite with the warrior's name, id#, and arena blacked out. This way,
I can verify that this is an actual warrior. Minis will work, too!
For those interested, I have both a challenge style vs. style and a match-up style
vs. style chart. There's about 250 fights calculated in these charts, and I'll be
happy to send a copy to anyone who asks. You can contact me (if you're a free world
player) at: Rick Stringer, Merit/East, SCI, P.O. Box 500, Georgetown, DE 19947-0500.
If you're in prison, just send a diplo to: Baphomet, Mgr. Knights Templar (568), DM
#47--North Fork. (I also have a lot of other charts and info for anyone who wants
it.) Thanks!
