SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt DRAGONHEAD will ever be the same. X-POSSE stable has parlayed this turn's
2-3-0 into a 5 space move up the rankings. This brings them up to 9th place. Good
work, guys! The ROCKERS OF RAGE guild has had a 3-1-0 turn and deserves to be
watched in the future. You never know where this kind of thing can lead. DRAGONHEAD
welcomes a new team to our ranks, unofficially of course, for now. But welcome
nonetheless to FAVORITE THINGS. Let's see what you can do. And let's see, EARLY
MORNING fought EMBEZZLING SCRIBE and gained 21 points and contributed to FAVORITE
THINGS' 2-3-0. LITTLE BULL has lost to DA, falling 9 points, while helping make
RAGE-ING BULL a 1-4-0 turn. Defending hers title for another turn, CONSTANTINE kept
VERMIN's warrior, 2 PHAT TOO, from claiming the throne. Can someone confirm a rumor
for me? I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Swinging
Aardvark until they win. Maybe?
The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more
could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that. I also notice that the X-POSSE
stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on DRAGONHEAD, what are you afraid
of? And avoiding X-POSSE more than any other team we find ROCKERS OF RAGE.
DRAGONHEAD, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? The most
challenged warrior this turn was JUSTICE OF STEEL's warrior KHARATEESKA. More
fighters challenged it than challenged the Duelmaster!
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? The Swinging Aardvark declares a free round for ANGRY MAN and all of
RAGE-ING BULL, for having revenged JUSTICE OF STEEL's KHARATEESKA for killing one of
their comrades. We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their
enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered rude.
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. Always good to rest in DRAGONHEAD, but never good to wear out my
welcome. Look for me in future turns. Until you see my quill in DRAGONHEAD again,
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

19 August 2003
Citizens of Ghea (only the ignorant fail to note Lirith Kai is not in Alastari),
no new day is rising, but the sun is setting on just another beautiful evening.
While you were sleeping, an irksome rabble has entered the always fair Aruak City.
Of course they fought alongside our warriors, most not so treasured, as all
gladiators do. They drank with themselves, and slept with themselves. Whether they
had masks, who cares.
Warriors, don't be afraid. For years Aruak has been one of the safest cities in
Ghea, and that custom has been continually cultivated, and will continue to be by
those who have called it home for years and those who live, fight, and die by the
same ethics. There is no contest, nor has there ever needed to be one for many
years. A conflict of personalities has arisen, and the city has been 'invaded' by
pests.
Any rules that are annouced will be purely for the joy of the lemmings' own
little world. Those who are being targeted have no interest in participating except
to defend the integrity of an arena that is different from others. Whether you
choose to come to Aruak, do it for your own reasons, not theirs.
Competing in Aruak City has never been for the faint of heart or the weak willed.
Combat is combat, wherever you go. Blood will flow as always, and now many innocents
will be caught in the middle, but those who defend Aruak's traditions never target
those who bring respect of Aruaki customs with them to our home.
So ignore the private ranting announcement brought by the stuporous
Frothingsloshers. If you choose Aruak City, do not choose it for an unsanctioned and
bogus 'contest', choose it for the tradition. Choose it because Aruak is different.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR A FEW GOOD MANAGERS! If you think you have what it takes to match
wits and blades with some of the best managers in Alastari, then WE WANT YOU! The
Tournament Of The Golden Scrod #4 will begin in Aradi (DM 60) the turn after the Fall
Mail-In. It's not too late for you to sign up. I realize that many of you may be
hesitant after seeing that myself and Hombre have teamed up again, but we'll try to
take it easy on you guys a little bit. For more information on T#%S IV, please
contact me at ganolus@aol.com. We're looking for a few good managers...the few, the
proud, the TOGS!

An Announcement Concerning the Brotherhood of the Blade Alliance:
I have chosen to withdraw my membership from the Brotherhood of the Blade
alliance. The years I have spent in the alliance have been the best of my DM career.
I leave the alliance with many great friends and will always remain close to my
former brethren.
The Brotherhood of the Blade will not skip a beat without my membership. It
remains in very capable hands and its roster is among the strongest in the game.
With the return on some of its founding members to DM, I know the BOB will continue
to grow in strength and prestige in the years to come. -- The Sandman
