SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
JADE MOUNTAIN brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. FALSE OVERTURES turned their
4-1-1 turn into a 2nd place rank in the listings this turn. Any better than this,
and you get put on hit lists. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see XAVIER
win a fight and gain 23 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, BANDIDOS GUAPO beat CLAWS OF
NIGHT and CLAWS OF NIGHT lost 14 points. You're breakin' my heart. Looks like JADE
MOUNTAIN has some guts at least, STREGOICA the Duelmaster was this turn's
most-challenged warrior. And if variety is the spice of life, JADE MOUNTAIN may be
getting bland, as STREGOICA 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. What's the big D? FALSE OVERTURES was the most
avoided team? Bunch of lily livered... grumble... mumble... curse... And who led
the way in this mass act of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was
DARKSTALKER2. Ha ha ha ha!
Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and
gone, and get to see if their team cared. Whoa! I'll even buy NAREEN a drink
tonight! Anyone who can come back from the Dark Arena, I want to be on his good
side! Ya gotta go sometime, and TRES' time was this time. Hmmm, not a bad fighter,
had he lived... (what? me pity?). We're all going to die in the end, so why worry
if the fate catches up with you sooner that later?
What does the JADE MOUNTAIN arena have in common with the inns? It's just as
comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Phlllt! Just had to do that
before I leave the fine city of JADE MOUNTAIN. I feel much better now. Paste this
one in your scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
If someone tried to send in something as a duelmaster's column and is surprised
not to see it in the proper place, blame hal. I'm not sure what the problem is,
but my best guess, based on other such problems in the past, is that it might
have been sent as a dot-doc or perhaps an attachment. Hal only sees plain text
(dot txt). Also, when you send something to hal, always check your receipts!
That might help avoid such problems.
Iron Handed -- Well done. I guess I'm not sure why I let Guido talk me into coming
back. Off to retirement I go. -- Nareen
Winter Rose -- I think I'm at least a little bit surprised. -- Anda
Jade Master -- Uh, oh, Guido's giving me that look again. -- Teaser II
Maori -- Hey, I liked that dagger! I'm sending you the bill. -- Starr
Ko-Hain -- Thank you. My moko is my identity. -- Maori
Guido -- Welcome back! -- Stillgard
Starr -- You shine like Athutahi. Do not let this loss undo you. -- Maori
Ko-Hain -- This is foretold. -- Locutus
C.O.N. -- You are probably as sick of me as I am of Stregoica! Keep plugging. --
Xavier
Rage -- I noticed that. -- Ko-Hain
P.S. No cushion to land on, either.
Locutus -- Why, thank you, sir. -- Winter Rose
Stregoica -- Whew! Glad you won that. I've DONE my time on the throne, and it was
enough. -- Kogan Djian
Xavier -- It's my nail polish, isn't it? -- Claws of Night
Anda -- If that was a FALSE overture, spare me a true one! -- Winter Rose
Locutus -- Ouch? I've got rotten roof boards and have trouble keeping my mind on
fighting. Which will get me killed, so I don't have to WORRY about the roof, but...
damn. -- Ko-Hain
Angel -- It's just WRONG for you to be shorter and cuter than me. -- Jade Lotus
