SPY REPORT
Greetings, Warriors of LIN TIRIAN. Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to
give you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport. Practice pays for
RED COULTER, who pummelled CAPTURED ORC, to pocket 13 points. A certain someone
should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 4 points to AMBITIOUS
GUARD. (Discrete enough, CHELBAGHEERA?) NECROMANCER successfully staved off a grab
for the roses by SHANA TWO-KNIVES of SAND DANCERS. Does LIN TIRIAN have no one
talented enough to dethrone her? So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable
walls and challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic problem...
My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter.
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights! Like the noble eagle soaring amongst
the mountaintops, so stand the warriors of SAND DANCERS, alone and unchallenged. The
warriors of SAND DANCERS found their efforts at combat frustrated as MAGIC ARTISTS
apparently had more important things to do than fight.
The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on... Oh hard! that to
strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!
All good things must come to an end. As the seasons change, and the creatures
of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave this place. LIN TIRIAN, I
leave you now. The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Lost Hope Inn. 'Til
next time-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Shana Two-Knives -- Good luck with your search for glory. You will need all the luck
you can find. Might I suggest three, or even four knives? Perhaps some skill
training would help too. Perhaps not, though. -- Necromancer
Mordant Deserter? Well, that was no problem for this lovely lady wizard. -- Witch
Olaf -- You had your turn. Ho hum. (or should I say, "Ho, ho, ho?") -- Necromancer
The Kung-Fu Master is a damned elf, and he SNEERED at me. But just you wait, he'll
have to walk past a dark alley one of these nights.... -- Shana Two-Knives
I truly despise these "Dangerous Criminals" who use their male mass to LOOM over a
poor, defenseless woman. He may find that SOME women aren't so defenseless, though.
-- Messalida
Soldier 1 -- Ah, I hear there's a lot of that depersonalization going around. Is it
that as an orc you don't mind, or are you plotting a secret revenge on your manager?
-- Chelbagheera
A Cult Member. Pathetic. -- Red Coulter
Jorgen Thorfin -- Damn, I think you broke one of my teeth! -- Halgar Snagtooth
Necromancer -- Beware! Over in the Charter Cities area, they're starting a HUNT for
people who practice your disgusting art. -- Shana Two-Knives

CALLING ALL THUGS, BRUTES, OGRES, QUARTER HALF WITS, SHALLOW HALBERD ENTHUSIASTS AND
MAUL RATS: Since the Bashing style has often been maligned in the forums, it is time
to give the style a little tough love with the following concept: An ALL-BASHER
arena. The rules are simple--enter the arena as a rookie basher. That's it. RSI
said I need to get 20 managers on board and I'm about half way there. If you are
interested in taking part, PM me in the forums or email me: chase at accesspr.com
and put D2 in the subject header.
Chase a.k.a. SwineTiger
2 February 2008
ATTENTION EVERYONE -- In March I am going to do manager lists for all arenas. This
is part of my ongoing and undoubtedly largely futile attempt to get my lists
organized. If you think I might not know who you are or if you think I might and
you'd rather I not share that information, let me know this month! You can e-mail
me at Sue at solberg dash mathews dot com (replacing the at, dash and dot with
appropriate characters. You can send a diplo to The Saint. You can put an ad in
the newsletter. Semaphore doesn't work so well, nor does telepathy. -- The Saint,
keeper of lists
