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! Hey
everybody, watch out for IN YOUR FACE, who flew up 27 points in the rankings after
mashing LINNIS TYL SORN like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days
it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. LINNIS TYL SORN was subdued by IN YOUR FACE
and drops 21 points. Our battling duelmaster SASHA has managed to hold the title,
fending off GARNO TEN KORO's none too subtle advances. Better luck next time, SAND
DANCERS. 4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at
that location.
Here is other news that is of note. Here's a song for you: Who's afraid of the
big, bad SAND DANCERS? Big bad SAND DANCERS. Big bad SAND DANCERS. DAL SHANG's
afraid of the big bad SAND DANCERS. Tra la la la la! For those of you who like
math, try this one: SAND DANCERS + Weapons That go Boom = BASH BROS EVANGELIST +
Avoid City. Well dang howdy, but if challenges were votes, MARAN TEN PALAN would be
president. Although it may be a contest he doesn't want to win.
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! 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. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some tracks. Its been
real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Driving a Rolls -- It's a tough life, isn't it? -- Jorja
In Your Face -- Yeah, I noticed that. -- Maran ten Palan
On the Corner -- You remind me of a passage in a mystery I read recently, where
somebody, speaking of evangelists, said something like, "Yeah, they preach on the
streets. It's as annoying as hell, but it isn't illegal." This is, after all, what
it's about. -- Jorja
In Your Face -- (mutter grumble) oughta be illegal (grouse mutter) -- Maran ten Palan
On the Corner -- You don't know the half of it! I was supposed to TURN at that
corner, and by trying to get out of your way, I lost my line entirely. It's hard,
being a gumshoe. -- Kurlo ten Doshan
P.S. Hey, a man's gotta have a day job around here.
Sasha -- Oh, cheese LOUISE, go to a tourney for extra FE and GRADUATE already! --
Linnis tyl Sorn
P.S. But that WAS more like yourself.
Well, um, Helvan Quickhand was quicker than usual, okay? Probably been chewing Dark
Root. -- Garno ten Koro
Sweet Anella should REALLY get a gender name. It's worse than a boy named Sue. --
Kordal t'Rohn
Maran / Kurlo -- Sometimes we feel our job is protect the rich, spoiled one on our
team. -- In Your Face On the Corner
In Your Face / On the Corner -- I think you're just jealous. I spent my time in the
trenches, but I... I mean God... created a following and the financial rewards have
made my time in the trenches well worth it. After all, God rewards his servants. --

WINTER FACE-TO-FACE IN SUNNY ARIZONA!
Our next winter FTF will be held in Tempe, Arizona, January 13-15, 2012. It will be
held at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Tempe, Arizona (480-894-7444), the same hotel as
last year by popular request. Room rates are $134.00 per night, 1-2 occupancy, which
includes full cooked breakfast, complimentary manager's reception, free airport
shuttle, free parking and free high speed internet. There's a fitness center,
jacuzzi, and pool. The rooms are blocked--please make your reservation by December 15
before the block is released! (This is prime season for Phoenix, and people have been
unable to book rooms because they waited too long.) Look for the tournament info
sheet and minioverviews some time in December. We hope you're all looking forward to
it and that we will see you there!
