SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, DAL SHANG? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Now keep the taverns open late tonight,
for there are sorrows to drown for POSSE, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 5
into 8th. Ha! GYPSY WYLD turned their 2-2-0 turn into a 2nd place rank in the
listings this turn. Any better than this, and you get put on hit lists. Of course,
we're all terribly impressed to see VESEMIR win a fight and gain 18 points, terribly.
Tsk, tsk, VESEMIR beat AN YEE and AN YEE lost 16 points. You're breakin' my heart.
And if variety is the spice of life, DAL SHANG may be getting bland, as APACHE FOG
stays top dog in the city. I'm not in a very good mood today, but why am I telling
you this? You want to know what's new, don't you, DAL SHANG?
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward. What's
the big D? POSSE was the most avoided team? Bunch of lily livered... grumble...
mumble... curse... And who led the way in this mass act of cowardice? Let's see,
well, whatcha know? It was GYPSY WYLD. Ha ha ha ha! Ooh, I'm frightfully
impressed, NORBEN THE LESSER was this turn's most challenged warrior. Watch that ego
swell, sports fans.
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines
through use. Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.
I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for
an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Just wait 'till next time I show up
here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah! Paste this one in your scrapbooks, you'll need
the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
Dal Shang -- We of Gypsy Wyld give great thanks to the Heavenly Dragons for leading
us to your lands, providing us with your illustrious managers and proud warriors to
aid in our ultimate success. May your gladiators ever provide a magnificent
spectacle of victory. -- Keyoke, mgr. Gypsy Wyld
Hmm, 3-2. Not quite the first impression we had intended. Further proof that even
the best laid plans rarely remain intact upon exposure to the enemy. -- Harmonious
Jade
*sighs* More like 2-2. I was stuck with Ohtimal the Lame! A jade talent for a
"real" warrior! -- May Blossom
Eskel -- Invigorating. Well fought. Your ancestors should be proud. -- Ghost-Cold
Wind
Klef -- Well, that was unpleasant. Pray the Dragons grant you greater strength. --
Manosque Cyan
Citrus -- Aww, I do so enjoy eating turtle. Such a pity I couldn't crack your shell.
-- Iron Siaka
Thornwald -- You seem to be lacking the correct footwork for a sound form. Keep
practicing! -- Harmonious Jade
One-four. A curse has fallen upon our team. "We didn't draw standbys" is still not
an acceptable excuse. -- An Yee
If you don't write a longer personal, you will be truly cursed, and a standby
will not save you.
Folks, I am leaving Duel II for personal reasons. I have no idea whether I may
return, but don't count on it. I will remain active in Lapur (29) and Jade Mountain
(75), and that's it. I have enjoyed knowing you. Fare you well. -- Jorja

The following warriors will travel to AD after next turn:
STAR RUBY (65-7281) TOLBIN'S GEMS (749)
SEAM (DM 20) REOPENS AS A NEW NO-TOURNEY ARENA!
Seam (DM 20) will be re-opening soon as a no-tourney DM arena! If you enjoy arena
play without tournament interference, this arena is for you! Only rookie teams may
enter this arena, and all managers must sign the "no-tourney" pledge. Turn 0 is due
on May 4 (overviews only) and Turn 1 is due on May 18.
To avoid confusion, all old inactive teams which were in Seam have travelled to
Mazgourrah (DM 77).
Seam is the newest arena to join the no-tourney group of arenas and will process on
opposite weeks with Shadowspire (DM 81), the original no-tourney arena. Other no-
tourney arenas include Telorinthe (DM 83), a slow arena, and Storm Rock (DM 107), for
ADM warriors.
Join in the fun! Send in your new rollup along with the pledge soon so you can get in
on the ground floor of this new arena!
********************************************************************************
NO-TOURNEY ARENA PLEDGE
* I pledge that I will not send warriors from this team to a tournament, nor
will I use a tournament prize on a warrior from this team.
* I pledge to run a full team when I run turns in this arena. If circumstances
preclude my running less than a full team, I will notify the Player Committee.
* I agree to abide by the decisions of the Player Committee.
* I understand that any warrior that participates in a tournament or receives
a tournament prize shall be sent to the Dark Arena until they are dead.
