Later days, PLACES, since SAND DANCERS took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see RANCH ROAST win a fight and gain 19 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, YOUNG GUN beat FARGO BORUM and FARGO BORUM lost 12 points. You're breakin' my heart. And if variety is the spice of life, DAL SHANG may be getting bland, as CANNELTON stays top dog in the city. The Blazing Unicorn, humph! I've tasted better ale at mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From DAL SHANG's trash dumps? Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys. PLACES, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were this turn's most avoided team. Care to know who is the most afraid of you? And it looks like WISE GUYS avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph. 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. What does the DAL SHANG arena have in common with the inns? It's just as comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Just wait 'till next time I show up here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah!

The following warriors have traveled to AD after fighting this turn: CANNELTON (65-7523) PLACES (767) Just a note: Our DM writers (both staff and players) put quite a bit of effort into writing content for the newsletters: spy reports, spotlights, and personal ads; fiction and non- fiction. If you enjoy these, if you want more, or even if they make you laugh, it would be kind if you could drop a personal ad or even send them a note. Assur and Consortium, especially, put tremendous effort in Noblish Island, writing new content and tweaking/correcting older content to help new players learn the game. A special shoutout should also go to our varied human spy reporters in the ADM arenas, Seam, Chimlevtal, Shadowspire, Telorinthe, and occasionallly contest arenas. Kudos and thank you to all of our writers! I'm sure we don't thank you enough. -- RSI ** * * * * * * * ** MINI SPOTS The short spotlights that Jorja has been writing were intended to be amusing but also possibly to provide a jumping-off point for further fiction. If you're interested in collaborating with a story, please contact her -- or just write it! (Let CSR know if you need her email address.) -- RSI
