Hey, old man Oz here. Rumor has it you haven't yet signed up for the Turf War 12 in 
North Fork. Why not? The Turf Wars are the longest running event in all the D2 lands! 
Yes, indeed! How can you pass up a chance to be one of the most revered winners in all 
the lands. Get with it! Pick a teammate. Announce your intent in the DM47NL or on the 
RSI site. Send your certs to me via RSI. You will be glad you did. -- Oz, The All-Soliciting

Note: It is rumored that teams in DM33 and DM21 are afraid of entering the TW12. Surely this is NOT true?

                                    Dense Writing

We've all been there.  Kicked back in our favorite chair, beverage at hand, getting 
ready to crack open the latest edition of the city gossip rag.  The best part is 
usually the personal ads since it is, after all, primarily a gossip rag.  So, there we 
all are, flipping over to the gossip section, and, lo and behold, Dense has done it 
again.

How does he do it?  Paraphrasing Jack Nicholson in Batman, "Where does he GET those 
wonderful words?"  Honestly, how many of us have not sat back, stunned into thoughtful 
silence, at his obvious mastery of the craft?  Often have we wondered, how on earth 
does he nail it time after time after time?  Is it that clean Wisconsin air that he 
breathes in?  Does he imbibe his artisanal prowess with every breath?  Is there some 
Greatwoman or Greatmother who, behind the scenes, has shaped his acumen?  Like Warhol, 
is he usin' again hallucinogen?

Well, rest assured, Gentle Readers.  We have the answer.  With the assistance of 
Watson data scientists and heavy application of both linguistic analytics and 
artificial intelligence (this IS Dense we're talking about), we are, much like a 
sophisticated computer rendering of the original Mona Lisa, able to recreate the magic 
through a distilled machine learning algorithm.  And guess what?!  You, yes YOU, can 
now thrall the masses with your personal ad acumen*.  Just like Dense.

So, without further ado, pick up that quill, grab some parchment and get ready to draw 
some Dense personal ads like you saw an advertisement on a matchbook! Behold and feast 
your eyes on the precise formula, broken down into ten easy steps which are not 
dissimilar to a treatment program:

1.  [Optional diminutive] Manager name or rhyming name 
2.  state Manager physical / mental / hygiene failing, 
3.  reference reliance upon parental figure, 
4.  (optional) add innuendo, 
5.  crow about Manager loss OR deflect Manager win and promise to be higher than 
    Manager in the rankings soon, 
6.  (optional) add innuendo, 
7.  assert superiority, 
8.  add Manager personal or familial insult, 
9.  assert inferiority-complex driven self-assurance statement 
10. [signed] your name here [optional reference to Team and Alliance if first Personal 
    ad] 

There you have it!  Mystery solved.  So go forth and rejoice, fellow dullards and 
simpletons, we can now all craft masterful Dense ads with ease.  I'll be disappointed 
if I don't see some fledgling Van Gogh's give it a try next turn!

* Please note this service is also available at Esssaypro.com for the low, low price 
of $29.95 per page**.  We make no claims about the actual source of Dense's artisanal 
personal ads.  But, hmmmmm.....

** Plus a small shipping and handling fee.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly SHADOWSPIRE games.  Warriors--remember that glory 
waits always around the corner!  Witness how this week SHANGHAIED went 4-1-0 to move 
up 5 in the rankings.  My praise to KILL 'EM ALL for their 4-1-0 week this time out.  
Indeed, it was a skillfully fought round deserving of notice!  RAT CATCHER caught the 
eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested SUMMIT SAGA and 
was awarded 20 points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, ZLATA 
put down YOSHA, causing him to lose 13 points of recognition in the process.  Not for 
nothing has TUMMY TUM TUM in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this 
week he's proven his combat skill yet again.  Informants "close" to the city champion 
have told me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor.  Watch out! 
     Many and various are the arts of battle.  In SHADOWSPIRE "art" is a word that 
has long since passed from the language!  My inside sources tell me that the team to 
beat in SHADOWSPIRE these days is BIG LAKE SOLUTION.  At least, most blades in town 
are looking to avoid them.  Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was 
that spent the better part of last week avoiding BIG LAKE SOLUTION.  Indeed it was 
MIRKWOOD ORCS.  Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below.  
PRINCE HOYT take warning!  You have more than a few enemies in SHADOWSPIRE.  For some 
warriors honor is not important--only empty victory.  See, gladiators, how COTTON 
MOUTH of INEBRIATION challenged down 18 points to SCRIPTORIA.  The weight of the 
challenge fell hard upon SCRIPTORIA and predictably she was beat by COTTON MOUTH.  
This is how to arouse the anger of an entire guild!  I can not but mention with 
disdain the name of ROBBY WAGNER who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 
11 points below in the rankings.  I thought ROBBY WAGNER showed great skill and 
promise when it was subdued by CROWN APPLE.  All right, so I slept through it!  Big 
deal!   
     What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his 
foe's mortality?  The warrior's path is harsh.  For mediocrity there is but one 
reward--death.  This past week DOROTHY PARKER, at 3-9-0, departed SHADOWSPIRE 
forever.  I must report the passing of GLAMDRING, veteran of many duels.  3-7-0 final 
record His was not illustrious--but death plays no favorites.  Some say a warrior is 
judged by the way he bears arms.  One thing is sure, better a dagger in hand then a 
sword on the belt!   
     A thought before I go.  Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise 
manager learn the secrets of them all?  Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off 
city calling to me.  I must away!  Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier 
than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

Chad -- I understand most of your experience is in that second rate cesspool known as 
DM 33, but here we call that an up-challenge.  I feel no shame for looking up in the 
rankings to challenge a warrior. Really, I feel no shame looking down either.  
Honestly, I feel nothing for any of you, but that is another post. -- Master Darque 

Imtep -- Sorry, seeing a Big Lake warrior with a winning record caught me off-guard. 
-- Bouvines

Scrambled Dregs -- Far too fluffy for my liking! -- Snollygoster

Post -- I was trying something new, and it appears to have worked. -- Mangonel

Narsil -- Our fight was boring, non-combative, and angered most of the fans in the 
stands.  We really should do it again sometime! -- Scriptoria

James Dickey -- I pray to the gods for my team's deliverance from these random match-
ups with you. -- Crux Gemmata

Yosha -- Honey, I've never had a short spear thrust at me like that before, and that's 
saying a lot. -- Helen Bade

Mage Dan -- *taps unconscious Dan on arena floor*  Wake up, Danny boy! *cackles 
gleefully* -- Barnacle Bill

Mangonel -- Axe sharp! -- Post

Tummy Tum Tum -- Congrats on the throne and the invite.  Now get outta here! -- 
BlackHart

Den -- . . . meh . . . -- BlackHart

All -- Greetings, Shadowspire.  I'm Drake, the manager of Memory.  Like many others, 
I'm returning to the game after a very long break.  Truth be told, I was never 
remotely successful, but I'm looking forward to learning about the game, having a good 
time, and making some more memories.  No pun intended.  May fortune favor you until 
our paths cross again.

Weirdo -- What I find weird is that Vlad avoided you.  What is even more interesting 
is that you are not synonymous with winning.  And what is even more weird is that 
"synonymous" is probably the longest word you have ever spoken.  If you indeed had a 
rebel without a cause attitude, we would probably be friends, and I don't like you, so 
you don't have that attitude. So, I guess you have gone about as far as you will ever 
go. -- Den

Vlad -- When you done patting yourself on the back, take note, I beat you again. -- 
Den

Chad -- I cannot believe you sent Kris Perlock to the DA, the Gulf Breeze Six just 
lost a valued teammate. -- Den

Filthy Phil -- Everyone knows that Crown Apple is the best.  I in fact enjoyed a 
bottle at the last F2F, like the rest of the cool people. -- Den

DeGotti -- I forget what exactly it is that you "gotti", but when they find a cure, 
come back out and hang around with the cool kids. -- Den

Tummy Tum Tum -- Congrats on invite.  Now be gone! -- Qwinn

B Ritesh -- Ahhh that felt good. -- Qwinn

Ruston -- Hope the leg heals up quickly. -- Walken

Robby Wagner -- Arghhh I had you! -- Zachariah

Aduril -- Hmmmm, I see what I need to work on.  Well fought. -- Ulrich

Me Coli -- Just freakin great. -- Xobias

Congrats to Tummy Tum Tum on your invite to the Isle. -- Clan Longbeard
