SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, JADE MOUNTAIN? Ain't you never seen Snide
Clemens before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Of course, we're all terribly
impressed to see MURDEROUS THRUST win a fight and gain 20 points, terribly. Tsk,
tsk, UNTAMED BERZERKER beat STONE HAMMER and STONE HAMMER lost 7 points. You're
breakin' my heart. DESTRUCTIVE ENERGY Dark Arena Challenged JADE WARRIOR for JADE
MOUNTAIN's Title this turn, and guess what happened? The crowds were amazed this
turn, as JADE WARRIOR killed the Duelmaster, DESTRUCTIVE ENERGY, leaving CRITICALS in
mourning. This incredible death has allowed, I might add, UNTAMED BERZERKER from
CRITICALS to ascend to the throne of Duelmaster, and I hear DARK ARENA is not happy.
Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think some of these guys
win their fights? Skill? Ha!
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys. JADE
MOUNTAIN, I am losing what little hope I had in you. RUNEBLADES 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 BAD HANDWRITING!. Ha ha ha ha!
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for JADE
MOUNTAIN's morgue. More variety. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines
through use. Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.
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. Just wait 'till next time I show up
here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah! I see the crowds are getting restless, I must
leave now-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
Our congratulations to Destructive Energy. -- Jorja and the Sand Dancers
Missing overview arrived, so the new guy is definitely legal NOW, and he proved it by
killing a standby! We went four-one-one, with the loss (of course) being to a
managed gladiator and three of the wins over standbys. It'll do. -- Stone Hammer

DESTRUCTIVE ENERGY (75-3509) CRITICALS (13)
WINTER FACE-TO-FACE IN SUNNY ARIZONA!
Our next winter FTF will be held in Tempe, Arizona, January 16-18, 2015. It will be
held at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Tempe, Arizona (480-897-7444), the same hotel as
last year by popular request. Room rates are $149.00 per night, 1-2 occupancy, which
includes full cooked breakfast, complimentary manager's reception, free airport
shuttle, free parking and free high speed internet. There's a fitness center,
jacuzzi, and pool. The rooms are blocked--code RSI.
Please make your reservations now if you plan to go. This is prime season for
Phoenix, and this year will be crazy: the Superbowl, Phoenix Open, auto auction, PF
Chang's Marathon, and more are all during that time. The hotel will be filling up
quickly and I won't be able to add rooms to the block after they are full. So please
book your room now -- if you can't make it you can cancel your reservation, but we
hope you do!
Look for the tournament info sheet and minioverviews some time in December. We hope
you're all looking forward to it and that we will see you there!
