SPY REPORT
Oh, hi. Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte. Thought I'd check out DAL SHANG to
see what's new. Like, MYSTERY MACHINE had to be so embarrassed when they got kicked
off #1 spot by SAND DANCERS! Way to go SAND DANCERS! I don't wanna hurt anybody's
feelings or anything, but TRIBAL COUNCIL 900 really goofed with their 0-0-0. MVP
award for CRIMSON CRUSH? DIRTY SOUTH's proud of her after beating RAGOLAS and
getting 19 points. Talk about yer big time losers! RAGOLAS got smashed by CRIMSON
CRUSH, and lost 15 points! What a putz! WITCH DOCTOR fights so hard to be
Duelmaster, then quits fighting and loses the title. No one said he was a genius...
And I was just getting used to the ex-Duelmaster's habit of...(!) Oh well, welcome
CAPTAIN AWESOME. Aren't MARVELOUS BASTARDS proud. (Oh, my.) Who was the wiseguy
that said DAL SHANG's Duelmaster was paying for drinks at The Blazing Unicorn? Don't
look at me!
I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies. Really, I just
wing this stuff.
Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other! Don't you guys ever give
it a break? Hey you guys, don't you think your families would like to hear from you?
Write! (Or have someone write for you.)
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really should stop. Its
been really albendranius! Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

Battle Royal 4
The Battle Royal arena contests are one of the purest tests of manager skill
available. The rules are simple. The scoring is simple. The updates are live. If
you would like to participate, simply get a team ready in Talcama in the next month
and announce in the personals that you're in. The prize is bragging rights and
having your name along side previous winners (Doc Steele, Manray Frothingslosh, and
Manager). It is a brutal contest, but it is a lot of fun!
Basic rules: No avoiding other contest teams. Score = Wins + Kills - Losses.
Only fights against other BR teams count. First team to 25 wins!
BR4 begins in Talcama (DM 18) on turn 502, due on Jan 29, 2005.
Visit http://www.geocities.com/assurnasir/br4 for more information.
