Hanval the Claw. (sigh) A standby, and not even a standby of my own rank. My graduation at this point must count as one of the results of Very Small Arena Syndrome. Laris tyl Zora SPY REPORT If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of DAYLA KIV brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see VORGAN TEN TALH win a fight and gain 8 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, DARSAL THE FALSE beat DOLBY KLEE and DOLBY KLEE lost 3 points. You're breakin' my heart. And if variety is the spice of life, DAYLA KIV may be getting bland, as LARIS TYL ZORA stays top dog in the city. Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think some of these guys win their fights? Skill? Ha! My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start talking.' I loved that woman. Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's see if anyone's dead or dying. We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if the fate catches up with you sooner that later? 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. Phlllt! Just had to do that before I leave the fine city of DAYLA KIV. I feel much better now.

If there are diplos with the turns that go missing, they're gone for good. So if you send me a diplo and do not see an acknowledgement of receipt in the personals, know that I have not gotten it (yet). If you have email, contact me at Livia AT reality DOT com. If you don't have email, keep trying with the diplos. We are working on this problem. -- the Scribe/Jorja/Leeta P.S.
