                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome MAZGOURRAH.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the fights 
have I fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  What's with SELAH?  
She actually beat MAZGOURRAH's THE RAGING STORM, and walked away with 16 more points 
from the fight.  VANIRMAYAN was reminded on the sands why JELIAH BIGABO is 
Duelmaster.  Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!   
     If at first you don't succeed, avoid.  That'll get you in the Spyreports.  How 
well I know the feeling of being in the most avoided team!  Don't fall out of 
practive, SAND DANCERS!  In my day, no team with a 535-531-18 would scare me off!  
What's the problem, PHILANTHROPISTS?   
     Warriors of MAZGOURRAH unite.  You have only your games to lose!  How long have 
I been here?  I got people to see, places to go...   
     Who knows what the future holds for a warrior.  More fights, there's no doubt.  
The end of another Spyreport!  That's cause for celebration in my book!  Time for my 
medication, so I'll leave now.  Practice, practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

Wow, we've actually been avoided by a real, managed team instead of by the Dark Arena 
as usual. -- Tualatin, Sand Dancers
P.S.  That's why we've got so many truly awful warriors, you know.  The Dark Arena 
avoids us.  Fact.
P.P.S.  This arena should be closed.

Jeliah Bigabo -- Will you write a column?  I would've, if I hadn't been out of town.  
But now it's over to you.  Go for it. -- Vanirmayan

20 April 2002
All mgrs. -- So your arena is closing.  I invite you to move to Lyratilan, Arena 25.  
There is room for good teams to join our ranks.  If you have chuptza and moxy, then 
we want you. -- Laldakarin, mgr. of The Grym Ones, owner/operator of the Mourngrym 
Inn and Tavern

20 April 2002
Attention:  Luke In Montana.  "Hey Wood, I lost your address.  Send me a diplo with 
all of your info." -- Heathen, mgr. Odin's Chosen (419) DM 11
P.S.  Where are you active?

30 April 2002
To All Baphomet's Friends and Enemies -- After careful consideration, this player 
has decided to move all teams to transfer arenas, playing under a new manager name 
and begin the process of playing a decent game with decent folks.  Baphomet humbly 
apologizes for any disrespect both intentional and unintentional. -- Baphomet, 
somewhere in Alastari yet to be determined

                              Stormcrowe Slaughterhouse

     Starting on Turn #192 (June 25th) a tourney will begin in Stormcrowe (DM 45), a 
slow arena.  This tourney will last ten turns.  Each manager will stand on his own, 
team against team.  The points system will be as follows.  It does not favor new or 
old Stormcrowe managers, but does favor the ambitious and aggressive:
     *  15 points for winning your upchallenge bloodfeud
     *  10 points for winning your even bloodfeud
     *   5 points for winning your downchallenge bloodfeud
     *  10 points for winning your upchallenge; or a Dark Arena challenge
     *   7 points for winning your even challenge, any opponent's challenge or a 
           random matchup (with an active gladiators, not a computer generated 
           opponent)
        +5 points for being The Current Top Team
         5 points for being the #1 Team On The Move
         4 points for being the #2 Team On The Move
         3 points for being the # 3 Team On The Move
         2 points for being the #4 Team On The Move
         1 point for being the #5 Team On The Move
         5 points for being This Week's Favorite
         5 points for being the Popularity Leader
         1 point for winning your downchallenge (instead of the usual 7 points for a 
           win)
        -5 points for being the least popular fighter
        -5 points for avoiding a bloodfeud by not playing of DAing (this is PER 
           AVOID)
("*"  This point total is awarded only for the first successful Bloodfeud.  Later 
Bloodfeud challenges will be treated as normal challenges, whether up or down.)
     For purposes of this tourney an "upchallenge" is when you challenge up to a 
category above your own:  i.e. Challenger Initiates to Initiates.  The Duelmaster is 
exempt from this rule.
     Active teams not participating are just as much targets as participating teams; 
only computer generated opponents will not be counted towards points totals.
     Prizes?  Well, the Gladiatorial Commission said we couldn't ask for entry fees 
to be paid to winner's accounts (something about Arizona law), but we can always 
throw stuff into the kitty.  So, Heathen has begun by buying a Free Turn for First 
Place; and Red Raven has added a Roll-Up to First Place and a Free Turn for Second 
Place.  Any who wish to follow suit may do so, and prizes will be divided between 
First through Fourth places.
     HOW TO ENTER:  Start or reactivate a team in Stormcrowe DM-45, and place an ad 
in the DM-45 personals to Dan The Weatherman declaring your intent to join the 
Slaughterhouse.
     The Stormcrowe Slaughterhouse is brought to you by Red Raven, Heathen, The DOC 
Alliance, and the fanatical Duelmasters of Stormcrowe.
     (NOTE:  Initially this tourney was going to be a "buddies tournament" with 
paired managers, but many more wanted each manager to stand alone, and virtually none 
were interested in pairing and so it shall be.  The rules for this tourney were 
designed from the suggestions of the many.)

Tournament corrections!!!!
     There were two errors in the alliance listings in the tournament newsletter.  
Abby was listed as a member of DOC and Khyron the Black was listed as a member of the 
DOA.  Both of these managers are independent and not affiliated with any alliance.  
My apologies for the mistake!
     The corrected alliance stats are below and are listed as follows:
Alliance, Number of Warriors Entered, Number of Awards, Award Percentage, WLK, Win 
Percentage
Manager Name: Award Winning Warriors Managed
          DOC, 34, 0+1, 5.88%, 101-96-2, 51.26%
