SPY REPORT
So why do I have this bag over my head? Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and
I'm going to give you a spy report!. We now have a new top team for all of you guys
to dogpile on. GIRLS X3 now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep it.
Coming up with a solid 3-1-0 outing, GIRLS X3 has advanced 3 places in the rankings.
Hey everybody, watch out for BABY SPLIT, who flew up 15 points in the rankings after
mashing NATALIA NECROANGEL like a melon. Keep your eye on this gal. Ya know, some
days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. FIVE + FIVE was overcame by ONE-EYE
TEO and drops 8 points. In front of all the crowds, BLONDE BILLIE took the
Duelmaster's crown for hers own. I give the bum two weeks. Advice to bashers--never
force anything, just get a bigger halberd!
Here is other news that is of note. Here's a song for you: Who's afraid of the
big, bad NO LIMIT SOLDIERS? Big bad NO LIMIT SOLDIERS. Big bad NO LIMIT SOLDIERS.
LIN TIRIAN's afraid of the big bad NO LIMIT SOLDIERS. Tra la la la la! For those of
you who like math, try this one: NO LIMIT SOLDIERS + Weapons That go Boom = WILD
KINGDOM + Avoid City. Well dang howdy, but if challenges were votes, IRLON would be
president. Although it may be a contest he doesn't want to win.
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Here's some advice: warriors
with little wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.
Well, there's the manager of the LIN TIRIAN giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). Okay, so I may not be the world's
best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. Its been fun, and
I'm sure you enjoyed it (boos). Now that I've got you worked up for Snide Clemens,
I'll be leaving-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Terminotter III -- (severely) That was a very un-otter-like technique. You should
be ashamed of yourself! Turning your back on a family, nay, a species tradition, a
tried and true style. Shameful. -- Irlon
P.S. Yes, I know. (sigh) I did it, too. That is why I want you to learn from my
errors.
Aragorn -- (frowning) You should be taller. Next time, don't use such hot water to
wash in. -- Jayne the Ripper
P.S. And darker.
Natalia Necroangel -- The thing is, you're too serious, you know? You need to, like,
relax. Just go with the, you know, flow. See? -- Blonde Billie
P.S. And leave those dead people alone. Nobody wants a woman who smells like a
bunch of dead people.
Mr. Metallic -- You know what? I don't think you're getting enough iron in your
diet. You're going all soft and non-metallic, and it's a handicap for you, right?
So eat your liver and spinach, boy. It's GOOD for you. -- One-Eye Teo

Battle Royal 4
The Battle Royal arena contests are one of the purest tests of manager skill
available. The rules are simple. The scoring is simple. The updates are live. If
you would like to participate, simply get a team ready in Talcama in the next month
and announce in the personals that you're in. The prize is bragging rights and
having your name along side previous winners (Doc Steele, Manray Frothingslosh, and
Manager). It is a brutal contest, but it is a lot of fun!
Basic rules: No avoiding other contest teams. Score = Wins + Kills - Losses.
Only fights against other BR teams count. First team to 25 wins!
BR4 begins in Talcama (DM 18) on turn 502, due on Jan 29, 2005.
