SPY REPORT
The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon DAL SHANG, for
I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned! The boys at POSSE left the arena dejected, after
being kicked out of the top spot by SAND DANCERS. Good show! Say what you will
about blind luck and dirty fighting, but SAND DANCERS will tell you 819-942-21 is
nothing to laugh at... Practice pays for KILLIAN TEN VIR, who pummelled ONE-EYED
YOFAN, to pocket 22 points. A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and
practice more, after losing 4 points to GUNSMOKE. (Discrete enough, KARZIN TYRN?) A
certain someone saw MAN-O-WAR at The Blazing Unicorn with the shakes, and now he
fails to show up to defend his throne. What a pathetic slob! What can be a greater
victory? STEELHORSE has taken his place as the top, as DAL SHANG's new Duelmaster.
Word has it one team in DAL SHANG is taking speech lessons to try to bore their
opponent to death. I'll bet it works.
My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter.
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights! To quell some nasty rumors, the guys
in STUMBLIN' DRUNK are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need to avoid 'em.
Like a pup with its tail between its legs, CUBICLE CRUSADERS scurried away from
STUMBLIN' DRUNK. Oh, the shame!
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!
Do not think spyreporting in DAL SHANG is the highlight of my life. Keep those
sands bloody and the buzzards fat! Can anything compare to the pleasure of writing
Spyreports for DAL SHANG? On that giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Dilbert -- Oh, gods, THAT was embarrassing. Even on a downchallenge, I should have
made a better showing than that. -- Merro Dosh
Chiana -- (sigh) Jorja warned me there would be days like this. At least you didn't
draw it out for hours and hours. -- Joevina Saril
Do I have to write a personal to a standby? One who actually BEAT me, besides? And
it was a mismatch. Aren't there any standbys closer to my ranking? Is this any way
to run an arena? Can I retire? What--
(sound of someone getting smacked upside the head)
Sagat of Paidan -- Good fight. -- Karzin Tyrn
Karma -- Bad match for you, but the style balance almost made up for it. Good
effort. -- Lorin ten Koro
Well, at least *I* got a standby way below me. Rather relaxing, really. -- Killian
ten Vir
Assur -- Fare well, then. See you around. -- Jorja
It has come to our attention that standbys in other arenas have been allowed to write
the occasional personal ad. This seems to us a good idea. We shall write, and also
answer, personal ads in this arena. -- Captain Lensar, for the Dal Shang Standby
Warriors
Duck Ka-Bob -- I hope you live up to your name, you vicious fowl! -- Bevan the Tinker
Killian ten Vir -- If you would care to try that on a more even level, meet me behind
the Burning Unicorn at sunset. -- Normar the Blond
Karzin Tyrn -- The steward reported that my win was due to luck. This is untrue. My
win was due to superior performance. If you were to practice occasionally, you MIGHT
have held your own. Or not. -- Sagat of Paidan
Amore' -- Well done. -- Captain Lensar
P.S. For a drunk.
Irish Cream -- You're softer than a stone. -- Maldi Stonebreaker
Man-O-War -- Drat. Well, the conditions of our charter require me to warn you that
the International Chardinee Society will mark your name on their books. -- Lendo ten
Chardin
Octavia -- You are placing too much trust in your weapons, young woman! The mind is
more important than the steel. Learn to think like a blade. -- Master of the Edge
*clang!*
A busy time in the Dark Arena, and a feast of ducks. We note but do not gloat over
our victories. -- Arenamaster Jai Arral
