                                      SPY REPORT

     It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters.  Look on my work, ye mighty, 
and despair!  The boys at MILCHAMAH left the arena dejected, after being kicked out 
of the top spot by TWISTED SISTERS.  Good show!  Those betting on VERMIN lost their 
shirt, as VERMIN lost their fighting abilities:  0-1-0.  What's a move up by 3 you 
ask?  (alright, maybe you didn't ask)  Cause for celebration, according to SACRED 
REALM.  Good things come to those who fight well, as TWISTED SISTERS can attest, 
moving up by 1.  ANCIENT KNIGHTS had cause to celebrate, after CAPT ANTILLES got 24 
points by beating DANGEROUS CRIMINAL.  Win some, lose some.  Speaking of which, 
CAPTURED ORC was winsome, after beating LADY SARINA and seeing her lose 10 points.  
Duelmaster MINDQUAKE from TWISTED SISTERS is going for the gold, as she challenged 
VERMIN's 2 PHAT 2.  Ooh, the excitement!  Those who hoped for a new Duelmaster were 
disappointed by 2 PHAT 2, of VERMIN, who despite a 14-16-0 couldn't overcome 
DRAGONHEAD's Number 1.  So who's the team that's been walking into taverns last week 
and ordering milk?  Sounds like a PR stunt to me.   
     And how sociable are DRAGONHEAD's warriors?  Come, let us see.  Like a horde of 
jackals fleeing from the lion, so did the "warriors" in DRAGONHEAD avoid MILCHAMAH.  
Like a pup with its tail between its legs, SACRED REALM scurried away from MILCHAMAH. 
Oh, the shame!  If challenges were horses, 2 PHAT 2 could open up a fast food joint!  
     The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on...  Justice was served as 
IRON BITCH fought MERLIN in bloodfeud.  Well done, TWISTED SISTERS!  Ask not a 
spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen into an 
unconscious stupor.   
     Leave me now, you base fools!  More important duties call me.  Like a mixed 
metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid DRAGONHEAD farewell-- Novgorodny Vir

In accordance with those rules set forth by the Lady of the Realm, I hereby announce
the formation of a small group of managers calling themselves "The Outsiders".  The
group consists of the following members:
     Doc LeGrande
     Apex
     Street Legal
     Carnage
     Ghoti
     Roadkill
     Valamond
     This group has only one rule.  Respect the play of the managers of this
alliance.  We have no worries about not playing by the rules set forth by others.  We
fight the way we like, and all those in this group appreciate what tools each manager
brings.  We have managers from the Delarquan, Andorian and Free Blade regions.  We
have managers that focus on the tournament arenas, and we have those that focus on
the regular city arenas.  We have those in our ranks that fight with honor and
respect for all, and we have those that have a bloodlust that cannot be quenched.
     Our goal is simple.  To create a ensemble of managers that will show their
prowess in the land of Alastari, and to bring a new level of competition to all those
that share the sands with our warriors.  Our warriors are many throughout the land.
We have no home arena.  We have no pacts we abide by.  Our fighters range from
Mordant to Talcama, from Lapur to Lyratilan, Aruak City to Valamantis, the Primus
arena to Talahya, and many more arenas throughout the land.
     Whether we are sought out or ignored makes no difference to us.  We are what we
are.  We fight how we fight.  And we do it however we wish.  We have no rules.  We
have no leader or ruler.  Be prepared.  We are.

The Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire respond thus to the Avengers of the Light:
Where are you?  EACH AND EVERY Dark Knight can be found in arenas 31 and 52.  Your
pretty words mean less than nothing if you won't fight.  EVERY Dark Knight is more

than willing to back up their talk.  So...we give you three turns in either 31 or 52,
REPEAT 31 or 52 to show up or shut up.  If you don't show we'll let all of Alastari
know the Avengers are indeed cowards! -- Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire

I received a Gift Certificate from someone.  I'm assuming it's for entry into the
