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!
Advancing in the rankings was REFUGEES who went from last turn's 319-387-9, to this
week's record of 322-388-9. Hey everybody, watch out for DAKORIL, who flew up 16
points in the rankings after mashing OLTIMAL THE LAME like a melon. Keep your eye on
this guy. Going for the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was
SUPERIOR FORCES 3J's TITANIA, who was turned away from the Duelmastership by DILYS
TYL KOGAN. 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 DAL SHANG arena.
Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). Well, the dead guy CHIPP just took SUPERIOR
FORCES 4I off his Christmas card list. The poor guy's bloodfeud just expired with
zippo results. Here's some advice: warriors with little wit and will may encounter
problems on the trail to the Isle.
Well, there's the manager of the DAL SHANG giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). Well, there goes another Spy Report.
Good luck in next week's fights. Hasta la bye-bye. (Loud choruses of 'Beat it, ya
bum!')-- The Unknown Spymaster

1-4 occupancy, which includes breakfast. The rooms are blocked. The reservations
number is 480-897-7444; tell them you're with the "Reality Simulations Face to Face

The hotel is located down the freeway in Tempe. All rooms have high speed internet
(for an extra charge). There is a fitness center, jacuzzi, and pool, and of course a

street. Look for transportation info in the tournament information sheet.
The tournament information sheet/strategy sheet should be out sometime in late
November/early December.
If you haven't been to a Face-to-Face before, you're overdue. If you have,
you'll be back. Don't miss this one, it'll be a blast! See you there!
