SPY REPORT
Greetings, Warriors of MORDANT. Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to
give you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport. The boys at LAB
EXPERIMENTS left the arena dejected, after being kicked out of the top spot by
SWEORDMASTERS. Good show! HOMICIDAL MANIACS had cause to celebrate, after BOTTLE OF
BEER got 20 points by beating WISHFUL THINKING. Win some, lose some. Speaking of
which, BOTTLE OF BEER was winsome, after beating WISHFUL THINKING and seeing her lose
18 points. SNAG successfully staved off a grab for the roses by MESSIAH of
MANNEQUIN'S BEST. Does MORDANT have no one talented enough to dethrone him? So
who's the team that's been walking into taverns last week and ordering milk? Sounds
like a PR stunt to me.
My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter.
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights!
Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.
Ask not for whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.
Leave me now, you base fools! More important duties call me. Do not despair!
I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Messiah -- Indirect from the Brick Wall: It gives me great levelness to have
encountered one whose courses have been so recently laid, and to observe that those
courses smooth and plumb. Even greater is my levelness at being able to demonstrate
for you, by my own adherence to the Mason's Plan, certain aspects of those techniques
which had remained a smudged drawing to you here-to-fore. May you always bear the
load which the Great Architect has designated for you without crumbling. -- Bottle of
Beer, channeling the Brick Wall
Honest Jiles -- I have given the matter careful thought, and my conclusion is that
you are a chimera. You do not exist, therefore you cannot win. That "fight" was
merely an illusion, or perhaps a nightmare, caused by eating anchovies with oatmeal.
Or do mean oatmeal with anchovies? Fish oils are important in a balanced diet, but
they should not be taken with oatmeal, despite the valuable fiber it provides. I
will remember that next time. -- Haydan
Tercero Encanto -- You're like a third crow or something, aren't you? Bad luck. I
hate bad luck; it's the only thing that can defeat me, since I am naturally superior,
bloodthirsty, and totally macho and stuff like that. -- Rookie Manager
Hreowan -- Wow, talk about shpeesh ipmedipentsh! I get that way after a couple or
ten of my shamenakesh, and I guesh your namager doesh, too, eh? But at leasht you
won't find LOTSH of other glatiadorsh with the shame name when you get to the Aisle.
-- Bottle of Beer, or maybe that'sh ten or sho bottlesh of beer, I forget
Mischievous Imp -- That was a very good beginning you made, which reminds me of a
fight I saw once at a tourney, although it wasn't the same kind of style match, of
course, and the weapons were different, but some managers just fixate on a few
weapons, you know, and neglect perfectly good other weapons that they could use if
they had the right stats and style but they don't, because nobody really understands
how to design and outfit a warrior these days, not that they ever did though I have
tried many times to explain the nuances, but nobody listens to anybody anymore except
just a few managers who have good PR and I don't mean parry-ripostes by that, you
know, just that some managers always talk a good fight but they can't fight it--
Mischievous Imp -- You should hit him HARDER upside the head if you want to stop him
boring on. -- Bottle of Beer
4 May 2005
Several questions have been asked about Slaughter's Challenge that I'd like to
address and clarify.
1) All Prizes must be used on the contest team, this includes the resurrection.
Remember any fast arena team should be able to transfer to a slow arena
(except for arena 82, I believe).
2) Warriors will be allowed to fight and run in the dead tourney, should there
be one, and return if an opening can be made without breaking the rules
(i.e. only one DA fight allowed per team).
3) If you win your single DA match you do not get another. It's one use of the
Dark Arena win or lose so if you want him/her/it dead be sure and throw the
match!
4) The resurrection potion's longevity has been extended by the commission to 6
months but the other potions (favorites, and +1 bonus) must still be used
within 2 turns and on a 5 FE or higher warrior. The resurrection can go on
any warrior regardless of FE.
Street Legal
P.S. My thanks to those already entered (Hammer, The Consortium, Tripwire, Stik, and
Shaman) and hope many more find a reason to come to arena 54. Again, my email is
triumph1971@hotmail.com or you can diplo me in arena 14 at THE DEATH SQUAD (63) if
you need more info!
21 May 2005
Amendment for "Fratsfas Quest for the Best!"
Managers that have teams already established in Fratsfa need not have (3) three
warriors in the initiates. FE will NOT be a factor. Stables may be entered at any
time. Just announce your stable in the p-ads.
***************************************************************************
This in my invitation to all managers who wish to prove their mettle against
managers from all over Alastari. We have limited TP's in this contest to one a team
at a time. We DO NOT want this contest to become a scum fest as many others have,
hence the Andorian arena. Good luck to all who come to prove their skills. "May
your enemies' blood flow freely" -- Dark Knight Toker, Desolate Empire Alliance
