SPY REPORT Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport. I doubt DAL SHANG will ever be the same. And let's see, LOEKER SMITH fought SLIM and gained 14 points and contributed to SAND DANCERS' 4-1-0. SSSKAH has lost to MAMBA, falling 10 points, while helping make CASTAWAYS a 0-3-0 turn. The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and KRAIT remains DAL SHANG's top warrior for another turn. By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The Blazing Unicorn? The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that. SAND DANCERS has cause to stand tall, as they were DAL SHANG's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. And guess who avoided SAND DANCERS stable the most? Believe it or not, it was SERPENTS HOLD. Anyone surprised? Well, sports fans, take notice that SSSKAH from CASTAWAYS was DAL SHANG's most challenged warrior this turn. The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace. Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over. Consider well. Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare to fight bravely. Well, I'm burning daylight here in DAL SHANG and I've a long road ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the Scribe DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME KRAIT 7054 10 1 0 108 SERPENTS HOLD (732) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME CHAEGO SARILDAN 6995 23 22 2 93 SAND DANCERS (233) LOEKER SMITH 7022 22 14 0 91 SAND DANCERS (233) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MAMBA 7055 9 4 0 73 SERPENTS HOLD (732) SLIM 7071 6 2 1 68 SERPENTS HOLD (732) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -OBLIVION 5553 5 5 2 66 REIGNING DOOM (533) HARITH TEN MORU 7047 13 7 0 63 SAND DANCERS (233) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SSSKAH 7059 5 8 0 54 CASTAWAYS (387) GARNO TEN KORO 7037 11 18 0 51 SAND DANCERS (233) RECOIL 7063 9 3 0 48 SERPENTS HOLD (732) KORDAL T'ROHN 7077 7 2 0 40 SAND DANCERS (233) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME HARLEQUIN 7056 9 4 0 35 SERPENTS HOLD (732) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MAWU 7062 5 8 0 28 CASTAWAYS (387) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME TOES 7061 4 9 0 21 CASTAWAYS (387) -THOR 7078 0 3 0 3 ROGUE WARRIORS (735) -CONAN 7079 0 3 0 3 ROGUE WARRIORS (735) -ZULU 7080 0 3 0 3 ROGUE WARRIORS (735) -TIGRESS 7082 0 2 0 2 ROGUE WARRIORS (735) -VIKING 7081 0 2 0 2 ROGUE WARRIORS (735) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn. THE DEAD W L K TEAM NAME SLAIN BY TURN Revenge? PERSONAL ADS Conan -- Bad luck for you, no surprise. That was not the most intelligent challenge you could have made, really bad weapon choice, and an unfortunate style to begin with. Do you want advice? My manager (Jorja) does "advice" sometimes. -- Kordal t'Rohn Abra Cadaver -- Finally! -- Chaego Sarildan Slim -- Oh, sure, a GOLEM can be slim. Golems don't have to contend with... chocolate. Fried chicken. Cherry pie. Aaaah, it's making me hungry just thinking about it! -- Harith ten Moru Mamba -- You've got rhythm, but you trampled my toes. -- Garno ten Koro Commenter -- I bet he is NOT related to the Zeus of Malcorn, who is currently inactive. Different approach altogether. -- Jorja 27 September 10 Note -- We are still looking for additional teams in Arvat, DM 32. I still have a number of good team rollups available FREE for whoever wants one. Contact the Devil Advocates ASAP to join the fun! You can either reach me by diplo or on the RSI site. Also, whoever sent me the diplo with no name on it requesting a rollup / information on how to get into Arvat, I'm embarassed to admit that the diplo slipped out of my folder and was lost. Please just send me another one with your mailing address and I'll get a rollup to you ASAP. Sorry about that! LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS MAMBA devastated SSSKAH in a 1 minute mismatched Challenge fight.
