SPY REPORT
Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills? Well
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for JADE MOUNTAIN. MASTERS OF SIN like really
fought hard to move up to 6th from 9th. Way to go! What was the name of that team
who got 4-1-0 this turn for a total 49-31-1 you ask? (Sure) IN COLD BLOOD's their
name, and fighting's their game! MVP award for FAR SIDE? SUNDAY COMICS' proud of it
after beating WORRIED and getting 20 points. Talk about yer big time losers!
MOCKINGBIRD got smashed by LYSTRA, and lost 14 points! ARDEN thinks his 15-8-0 and
studly character is good enough to face up to the Duelmaster. Any bets? And I was
just getting used to the ex-Duelmaster's habit of...(!) Oh well, welcome ARDEN.
Aren't DARK TOADS proud. (Oh, my.) I hear the top team insists all their warriors
get nine hours sleep. They want photogenic fighters for PR photos.
So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway? It can't be for these
really neat Spyreports can it? SUNDAY COMICS was JADE MOUNTAIN's most avoided team.
Is there some award for that? Hhmph! What kind of warriors are MASTERS OF SIN?
SUNDAY COMICS, an easy team to beat if I ever saw one, can't get them to accept an
invitation! Like, is TREENVA TARAL popular, or what? She was challenged the most in
all of JADE MOUNTAIN! She's got a 3-8-0, is that good? Ooh! Did ARIA really know
what she was doing when she challenged WOODY? A 14-11-0 speaks volumes. (Zontoni
said that. I don't know what it means.) Do you think ARIA knew something before she
challenged WOODY? She got a win and 28 points. What will the gal do next? Speaking
of challenging 28 points above did you hear about FRILLED DRAGON of IN COLD BLOOD vs.
THAT'S US' WONDERFUL? (And how was that intro!) What did FRILLED DRAGON expect,
anyway! Of course WONDERFUL won. Next time stick to people you have a chance
against, dummy!
Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other! Don't you guys ever give
it a break? Fight, fight, fight. Is that all you guys can do?
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it quits. Its been
really albendranius! Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
All -- My turn went in late, hopefully it gets there in time. I found my 10th style
to try to graduate from this arena and if I got my sheets in on time, I'll be running
all 5 guys this turn. Otherwise, just the four on maintenance will run. I hope it
gets there, I hate missing my challenges. -- TigToad
Sunday Comics -- Ouch. 1-4. I haven't been hurt like that in a long time. I notice
your warriors were the direct result of several of those losses. Congratulations and
hope to continue to see you around. -- TigToad, mgr. Dark Toads
Arden -- You did laugh at me, you DID! I distinctly heard you chortle, which is a
laugh of a kind, isn't it? And this after I'd gone to the effort of teaching you
three skills and two ratings! The injustice of it all! -- Woody
Bushmaster -- That's the first time I recall seeing a snake with hands, favored or
not. Very odd. But it was your brain that impressed me, to soak up five skills in
forty-three seconds! Impressive, especially for someone, or I suppose I should say
something, since you're a golem, that is so cold-blooded. Bravo. -- Essina tyl Vern
Smash -- Ouch! You take your name seriously, don't you? -- Treenva Taral the bruised
and broken
Xanth? It's been a while since we noticed that name around here! Yes, all right,
you were obviously here a turn before the fight I'm reading, but it was tourney time
and I was distracted. Glad to see you back. -- Lorana, speaking for the perennially
absent Li Dan, Sand Dancers
Harpy -- You're very nasty for such a little thing. And those brazen wings--are they
strictly legal? I mean, you're not going to claim they're just HELMET decorations,
are you? -- Volto Leeni, desiring not to meet you again any time soon, even in a bar,
although a bar would be better than on the sands, thank you very much, and I'll take
milk
And I don't want to hear anybody making snide comments about the milk, either! I'm
trying to build up my bone strength. -- Volto Leeni
Gyhard -- Wow, must have been a bad day for you! I mean, I slap your hand and you
drop your weapon and quit? Cheese, guy, do that very often and you'll end up a
laughing stock, which is NOT something any self-respecting warrior wants to be. For
one thing, it puts off the girls, and for another, nobody will give you credit when
you're short of cash and want lunch. -- Tabatan the sympathetic
TigToad -- I plan to. For one thing, the passage is free for new graduates, so I can
get there without spending a penny of my not-munificent graduation bonus. And then
I'm going to sight-see, spectate, and other laid-back things like that. Much more
fun than fighting. -- Essina
Anne -- Why should I be sophisticated? What good does it do a warrior if he can
quote the Nine Sages or tell you which wine is best with beans? Besides, I look on
it as my duty. After all, somebody has to be unsophisticated to form the standard
against which, or above which, as it might be, the so-called sophisticates measure
themselves. It's a dirty job, but somebody's got to do it. -- Volto Leeni
TigToad -- Yes! Yes, you're right! You must be, because it is in print now. So
I'll start planning my graduation party, and it will be a total humdinger. Everyone
invited! Water flowing like beer! Whole roasted hamsters. Er, something like that.
A lot depends on the budget, of course. But I'll start saving up for it. -- Woody
17 July 2004
I am currently trying to put together a favorites chart for AD warriors. I
desperately need help with this. What I need are style, favorite rhythm (ex.:
hi/low), favorite weapons, and tactics. What would be great is if you could send me
a copy of the invite with the warrior's name, id#, and arena blacked out. This way,
I can verify that this is an actual warrior. Minis will work, too!
For those interested, I have both a challenge style vs. style and a match-up style
vs. style chart. There's about 250 fights calculated in these charts, and I'll be
happy to send a copy to anyone who asks. You can contact me (if you're a free world
player) at: Rick Stringer, Merit/East, SCI, P.O. Box 500, Georgetown, DE 19947-0500.
If you're in prison, just send a diplo to: Baphomet, Mgr. Knights Templar (568), DM
#47--North Fork. (I also have a lot of other charts and info for anyone who wants
it.) Thanks!
