I just wanted you all to know that I'm awesome. Thanks, Joey SPY REPORT Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in LIN TIRIAN. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid! Say good-bye to J, as they are pushed from the coveted top team spot by the SAND DANCERS stable. Hey everybody, watch out for HARNIE BLACK, who flew up 25 points in the rankings after mashing CJ like a melon. Keep your eye on this gal. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. CJ was subdued by HARNIE BLACK and drops 21 points. In front of all the crowds, SHILLIS VAIR took the Duelmaster's crown for hers own. I give the bum two weeks. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay. But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle! Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the most interesting, though! Ask not the elves for counsel, for they will say both yes and no. Silly buggers, eh? I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of you whom I have not offended yet. Well, there goes another Spy Report. Good luck in next week's fights. Hasta la bye-bye.

After all, humans are inferior, too. Inferior, pushy, and nosy--who told you, or how did you find out that was my weak side? -- Shillis Vair Cj -- What? The fight was today? I didn't notice. Next time I'll scrag you, okay? -- Black Tom P.S. I didn't know dwarf women were taller than dwarf men. Sounds perverse. Osalat Revolver -- I don't have a clue what you are, so... when I'm confused, I hit things, you know? It's a survival mechanism, I think. Very few people confuse me twice, and if the arenamistress hadn't stepped in, you wouldn't, either. -- Harnie Black Sjs -- Ah, an orc. A Duck-eater, in fact. You will think twice before you eat another duck! -- Kurtal Duck 26 July 2010 Some managers have attempted to send personals and columns to hal, and hal has been refusing to acknowledge their content. I don't know what hal's problem is, specifically, but for best success, send PLAIN TEXT (dot txt) in the body of the email. Not attachments. Thank you. -- the Editor LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS JOEY was devastated by SHILLIS VAIR in a 1 minute mismatched Title fight. MATT was unbelievably bested by VETERAN MERCENARY in a 3 minute gruesome battle.

NEW TEAMS IN THE TEMPORARY TOURNAMENT ARENA (DM 85) Please note that all new teams created at the Face-to-Face were temporarily placed in a temporary Tournament Arena, DM 85. If you requested that your team be placed in a specific arena, it has already transferred to that arena. Any teams not transferred out of DM 85 by October 1 will be deleted. If you have questions about any of your teams, please contact Customer Service. -- RSI WINTER FACE-TO-FACE IN SUNNY ARIZONA! Our next winter FTF will be held in Tempe, Arizona, January 14-16, 2011. It will be held at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Tempe, Arizona (480-894-7444), the same hotel as last year by popular request. Room rates are $129.00 per night, 1-2 occupancy, which includes full cooked breakfast, complimentary manager's reception (yes, really!), free airport shuttle, free parking and free high speed internet.
