UNIQUIE Things noted or rumored in life as of late:

1. Teabaggin' Hokies win yet another golf crown.
2. Minneapolis seems not the place for an FTF nowadays.
3. Let it snow; let it snow; let it snow. (except in Calif which is protected by 
   fire.)
4. The Darque feller is running another weird event or two.
5. Greenland may beat D.C. to being the 51st state. (State flower Niviarsiaq.)
6. A healthy bribe riffed 2 TCs to a Raff.
7. All Masked Gladiators from DM10 and 45 have been hired by Ice.
8. Slashers seem to be the "in" thing.

                                    Issue # T-499
                               by Hammer the WordSmith
                                    Choose Wisely

  Let the high praises of God be in their throats and a two-edged sword in their 
  hands, --- Psalm 149:6 Amplified Classic

Hammer was musing about the upcoming Masked Mayhem Contest in Arena 45 being hosted by 
Master Darque!

Hammer: Who Must I Select as My Masked F-er?

He Could Hear the School-Boy Snickers from the Lurkers and Storm Swords who were 
listening in on his musings!

Hammer: Get Your Minds Out of the Gutter!

Hammer: I am Musing Regarding My Masked Fool-er ... Not the F-er You All are 
Thinking!

May Your Blades Be Sharp and Your Wits Sharper! 

                                          -- Hammer, Minister of War

                                      SPY REPORT

The torches are lit. The gates are unbarred. The wind that prowls the docks of 
Stormcrowe carries a new sound. It isn't the regular clang of steel on steel, nor the 
idle shuffle of slow cycling sands, but the deliberate rhythm of competition.

Welcome to Stormcrowe.

As the Overseer of Violence for this gathering, I extend no warm embraces. You have 
not come to my home for comfort. You have come for comparison. You have come for the 
competition. You have come to see whose blade sings the sweetest and whose strategy is 
secure.

I will get to the regular spy report information in a moment, but first, a few 
housekeeping notes need to be addressed.

To begin, managers can join the contest at any time they choose. Earlier is obviously 
better for scoring purposes, but not everyone has the same opportunities or schedule. 
Second, all the listed teams are those that contacted me about joining the contest. If 
you have not contacted the Commission for the entry fee, please do so at your earliest 
convenience. They will know from this listing who volunteered the tribute. The third 
issue to address is my own participation in the contest. I have a team in the event, 
but I have restricted myself. I will not have a Masked Champion, and I will not 
challenge anyone during the contest. I will certainly make use of my avoids, but these 
self-imposed restrictions are there to protect the integrity of the contest.

Now to the regularly scheduled spy report.

Ontor took the throne from Shieldgore with a brave challenge. Ontor stands crowned 
after a decisive victory in the main event. The title was not inherited, but taken by 
right of might. Upward ambition must be accompanied by sufficient edge. Ontor now has 
a target upon his back in an arena that is just filled with potential threats.

Dead Silence is the most avoided team, and it looks like Avid Fans avoided them the 
most. Avoidance is a sign of respect given through clenched teeth. When managers avoid 
match-ups rather than test the blades of their warriors, they are revealing evaluation 
without admission. Death only came via the Dark Arena.

The contest begins. Stormcrowe refines each warrior through adversity. Good luck to 
you.

the process. I do it all by hand. If you notice a mistake, email me your concern at

Sital Tua -- Classic Rookie Blunder : Getting tired and quitting before you finished 
the back nine.  The beverage cart literally arrived as soon as you left.  Better luck 
next time, just not against me! -- B.N.

Uktor -- There's an understanding among cultured gladiators that when 1) I get back 
up, 2) we grapple, and then 3) you're tired ...that I'll win the fight.  You're dumb 
for not knowing that. Do better next time.  Good-Not-Great Wood

Profound -- If you start at the beginning of minute 10, it's actually a pretty good 
fight.  Just took a while to warm up.  Looking forward to seeing you again and trying 
out these shiny new Attack skills. -- Long Ball

Chaudry -- Keep travelling, far far away from me. -- Looper

"Okay" Dragon Blade -- Not so much. -- Tasty Lacey

Until next turn, gunga galunga ... gunga gunga-lagunga

Storm Swords -- Only 4 of My Unstable Stable Survived the January Tourney! They Also 
Survived Their First Turn in the DM 45 Arena! -- Hammer, Minister of War, mgr of 
Abattoir 5 Blades

F-er is Officially Registered with Darque!
