SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, CHAVEZ RAVINE? Ain't you never seen Snide
Clemens before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Later days, FAULTY PREMISES,
since 1988 DODGERS took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. If this
keeps up, FORCE OF FIVE, you'll have to shine swords instead of use them. A drop of
7 in the rankings? STORMTROOPERS turned their 2-3-0 turn into a 6th place rank in
the listings this turn. Any better than this, and you get put on hit lists. Now
let's all watch THE DREIHDENS' heads swell from their 4-1-1 this turn. Haa ha ha ha!
Big shots, big talk, big deal. Going for broke or broken, our Duelmaster JADOW
challenged this turn. And if variety is the spice of life, CHAVEZ RAVINE may be
getting bland, as DREIHDEN PLUNGER 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,
CHAVEZ RAVINE?
My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start
talking.' I loved that woman. CHAVEZ RAVINE, I am losing what little hope I had in
you. SLYTHERIN HOUSE the most avoided team? What insult will suffice, I cannot say.
And who led the way in this mass act of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know?
It was FAULTY PREMISES. Ha ha ha ha! Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, DONSTAN was
this turn's most challenged warrior. Watch that ego swell, sports fans. And we have
CLONE MISHAP in a challenge, going down 15 points for the fight. Guess what? I
thought CLONE MISHAP showed great skill and promise when he was bested by PELAK TEN
ZORN. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
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.
There's got to be a better place in CHAVEZ RAVINE to get a drink than The
Crystal Wheel! Any suggestions? Well, I've had enough of this drivel, and I'm sure
you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. Paste this one in your
scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
Party Geeks -- Sorry, that was not intentional. I was going for RL all the way
across. I await the blood feud if you feel the need. -- Setzer Gabbiani
Tsirell -- I was named from a line in a book by Steven Brust. I was a private joke
that Bum made for himself. The line goes, "Tsalmoth maintains though none know how."
-- Tsalmoth
Ganglare -- Hosed in PAR, man that has to hurt. No wonder I had no chance to win the
LU SM -- Jadow
Dreihden Plunger -- Congrats on graduating; I know your manager is happy about it. --
Bum
Novices -- There's more than one of you? Why am I, one person, facing a multiple
opponent? -- Donstan
Taishaku -- A bold attempt, but experience counts for something. Not much,
sometimes, but something. -- Tsirell
John Shelby -- Heck, I thought you were going to teach me to dodge, you being a
dodger and all. But you just taught me attack skills. What am I supposed to do with
THOSE? -- Ronsevan
Max Factor -- No WAY you're getting ME to wear that stuff! -- Pelak ten Zorn
Ah, a standby. Usually enjoyable, and certainly this time, even though I learned no
skills. -- Tilaen tyl Sanh
Chen -- What do my blankets have to do with your feet? Besides, the best thing for
cold feet in bed is a dog. -- Tsirell

Greeting from Jhans, DM 36 -- In 2 turns the kLk will host our first annual "St.
Valentines Day Massacre" in Jhans, arena 36. (Kill Contest) The contest will begin
on turn 450. It will run for 10 turns. On turn 461 the winners will be announced.
There will be 3 separate categories, the team with the most kills, the alliance with
the most kills, and the warrior with the most kills. For the manager of the team
with the most kills a PRIZE of 10 ROLL-UPS will be rewarded (or $50 deposited into
his account). No need to declare yourself in the personals. If you are in DM 36,
you will be part of the contest whether you like it or not. We encourage as much
trash talk as you'd like. All teams, managers, and alliances invited. Please
contact Polarius (mgr. of Blitzkrieg) in DM 36 with questions. Or you can email me
at jamieptmo@hotmail.com. Good luck and see you in the sands. -- Polarius

MONGO'S MARDI GRAS MADNESS DUELMASTERS AUCTION
Mongo, aka Matt McIntosh and ex-Warden of the Dark Circle, is auctioning off his
entire collection of Duelmasters warriors and stables. Don't miss out on this chance
to own some fantastic warriors! There are ADM warriors available in every class from
Primus to Freshmen, as well as over a dozen Basic stables.
Does a Slasher with +4 attack, +4 decisiveness, +3 initiative and +2 riposte
sound good? How about a Lunger who received the benefit of a TC prize, has TVed
three times after graduating--and still hasn't maxed out his skills!? How about a
Striker in the Freshmen class who has decisiveness for a favorite learn and the MAUL
for a favorite weapon!?
Or perhaps you prefer playing in Basic. Then how does a stable with four Adept
class warriors who have a combined record of 41-19-9 sound? Or maybe a stable with
three 21-Will warriors? Or perhaps a stable with four Initiates and a Rookie who
have a combined record of 23-6-1?
The quality of the lots is excellent. All you need to view and bid on the lots
is go to:
http://members.aol.com/jvmerlino/mardigras.html
If you want to be on the mailing list to receive regular updates on the auction,
just send an e-mail to JVMerlino@aol.com. Merlin, aka John Merlino and also an ex-
Warden of the Dark Circle, will be running this auction for me. I just moved to New
Orleans and am likely currently stumbling around the French Quarter...because it's
Mardi Gras! So I have named my auction in honor of this occasion.
The auction will start on Saturday, March 13th, 2004, and will continue for
several weeks. But you should get your bids in early if you want your best chance at
owning any of these fantastic warriors and stables.
Many thanks to all for your interest and your bids,
Mongo
