Well fergit it, cause this is the spy report for FREE BLADES, and what's more, I'm tired. So we'll go with the short version, okay? MVP (Most V. Point gain) award for MIMOSA? PHILANTHROPISTS' proud of him after beating AUGUSTUS I and getting 45 points. Talk about yer major upsets! KJARRAN'S HAMMER's match with COMRADE KOOK cost him a loss of 22 points! The Lord Marshal isn't going to stop just 'cause he's Number One! KELOS knows this. He was TV challenged by the Duelmaster. This Duelmaster is like something else! KING LOVE stopped KELOS dead in his tracks! Good! That Kelos is a killer, and we don't want that kind of thing here, do we? I mean, this isn't Darkholm. I hear the top team insists all their warriors get nine hours sleep. They want photogenic fighters for PR photos. Well, not photos, actually, but they've got a Lightning Sketch Artist. I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies. Really, I just wing this stuff. PHILANTHROPISTS was FREE BLADES' most avoided team. Is there some award for that? Is there some deep dark secret why HOUNDS OF HELL's been avoiding PHILANTHROPISTS so much? Or is it just that they're too scared? Of course, since they're out there fighting, they can't be TOO scared. Like, is VICTIM OF SOCIETY popular, or what? He was challenged the most in all of FREE BLADES! He's got a 52- 46-2, is that good? See if I ever talk to NEBUCHADNEZZAR again! JELIAH BIGABO was so low when He challenged him. Uh, who challenge whom? Not that I ever talk to either of these guys, I mean, they don't answer, so why should I, you know, bother? Hhmph! I was sorry to see such an unfair "fight" in FREE BLADES. Well, maybe not. It isn't like this is a big deal. NEBUCHADNEZZAR got 21 points after beating JELIAH BIGABO, 29 points below him. I'm not so sure ROMULUS knew all the facts when he challenged JAMMIES of DARKLINGS. That off-hand Teddy Bear is dangerous! I saw ROMULUS stumbling and dribbling at The Cooler last week... well, at least I know someone who said he saw Romulus, I don't go there, myself. Do you think ROMULUS knew something before he challenged JAMMIES? He got a win and 13 points. What will the guy do next? Ooh! Did ACID BATH really know what he was doing when he challenged SISTER X? A 17-3-0 speaks volumes. (Zontoni said that. I don't know what it means.) ACID BATH lost to SISTER X, but he got 3 points. SISTER X won, and got 11 points. I don't get it. There are too many points showing up out of, you know, nowhere. This is point inflation. Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other! Don't you guys ever give it a break? What if they had a fight and nobody showed up? I'd be out of a job, that's what!!! I could retire to Bonsur and sit on the beach. I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be a famous spy reporter? I gotta leave. FREE BLADES is like such a dump, and you guys smell too much! Remember you guys, ease up sometimes! Chill out!

I agree that it is very disheartening seeing the muteness that is this arena. It is indeed pathetic. I actually would have preferred if you stayed on top as I always enjoy your ads and columns. They are by far some of the most entertaining and amusing writings I read. It is a shame that more managers don't take the time and effort that you do each turn. You need to come back to Arvat. I don't want to hear about how crappy the rollup pool is there. We all have to deal with the same crappy rollups. What takes talent is winning with those crappy rollups. My winning percentage is over 65% in there with garbage. Are you saying you can't be as successful as I have been with the same junk that you get? Come my friend. Embrace the suckatude. Relish the vileness that is the 5 wit 3 will rollup. Once you do you'll enjoy this game a lot more. -- Mad Max King Love & the Sandman -- Congrats on the title. -- Mad Max Caesar -- Cheeseburgers? I guess that could be me but the impressive display was Boss Rat. Cigars and vodka is the Dark One and yourself. You have the heavy- handedness down though with me. How I miss your ramblings of "Big-Joe-Hands!". Perhaps the next time we are in the Elm City we can get together for a pie or 2 from Pepe's and a pitcher of their finest ale. The Dark One has been slacking on the Yale-Colgate hockey game updates. We haven't been to one in ages. Now, my friend. Return to Arvat! Caesar is summoned! Mad Max has spoken! I hope I'm getting the punctuation correct here, but, let's face it, when it comes to html, I'm guessing. I think I'm close though. -- Temp Ed. Jorja and the Sand Dancers -- Hmmm. What can I do to help relieve the strike? Better wagers? Less hours? Work with me. I'll see what I can do. -- Mad Max Dartman -- That was a pretty brave challenge, but then you didn't follow through. I tried to teach you some stuff, but it didn't seem like you were paying attention. -- Jammies Tom Bombadil -- Wow. I don't get people breaking my weapon very often. Sometimes the blades the Commission provides aren't the best, though, I think. Mass produced. But I suppose it's fairer than the alternative, which is for all of us to bring our own equipment into the arena. -- Royland Claudius -- (wincing) That had to leave a mark. I was aiming for your shoulder, really--you just stuck your face into the path of my sword. Sorry about that and I hope you're over the resurrection hangover. -- Kelos P.S. You DID challenge someone with three times your experience. Things happen. People keep saying that. Superior Forces -- Remind your manager to change your train. That was a pretty good fight. You were doing well until I got through your defenses just once. -- Nightfall The Quickling -- I was surprised to win that. Your style usually does well against me. -- Loping Wolf T-Bone -- Well, the outcome of our match wasn't surprising, considering our relative experience. I thought you did well, though. -- Nightcap Reprehensible -- Oops. Didn't mean to keep attacking when you were down--I just had a lot of momentum, you know? I hope you're feeling better. They say resurrection is a bitch... but then, you may already have known that. Were you brought back in a dead tourney? -- Javelino Debby T. -- Why bother coming "back after him" as you stated? Until the game is righted, there is really no way for me to beat him. -- Romulus Listen, I don't even remember what we were talking about, but I'm sure you're right. Or, you know, close enough. Debby T. -- Call it sour grapes, make up some witty remark, whatever... The old saying "It is what it is" certainly applies here. Again, we appeal to the GC to remedy this Aimed Blow issue and return the game to a more realistic operating environment! -- Caesar Well, we can hope, of course. Sometimes stranger things have happened. Jorja had a hissy fit and said we all had to do personals again, so... here goes. -- Sand Dancers et al Nebuchadnezzar -- Why would anyone have a name you can't spell and aren't sure how to pronounce? By the time the herald was done sputtering, the fight was over! -- Tairikia Sanguine -- You certainly believe in throwing your name around, don't out? Soaking in cold water won't be enough to get these stains out. -- Damoreth Stenn The Mad Carrot -- Pretty darned horrible, if you ask me. -- Mouse Noyle Golem -- You're a tiny thing, aren't you? -- Darlina Smug Bub -- *squash* -- Redfox LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS KING LOVE devastated KELOS in a 1 minute mismatched Challenge Title fight.
