                                      SPY REPORT

     Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in MORDANT this turn, and let's start 
with a look at some of the teams.  It seems the training can make the difference, as 
SWEORDMASTERS is pushed out of top team by DESOLATE TEMPLE, who came from 2nd with a 
4-1-1 this turn.  Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to 
drown for DRAGONLANCE, whose 1-4-0 this turn dropped them by 8 into 15th.  SHE'S 
CRAFTY stable has parlayed this turn's 3-2-0 into a 6 space move up the rankings.  
This brings them up to 4th place.  Good work, guys!  The MEN OF HONOR guild has had a 
5-0-2 turn and deserves to be watched in the future.  You never know where this kind 
of thing can lead.  And let's see, GLUTIUS MAXIMUS fought TUNGSTEN and gained 22 
points and contributed to ROMAN EMPIRE's 1-1-0.  SEAN SHEIKY has lost to DIABLO, 
falling 19 points, while helping make POKER GREATS a 2-3-0 turn.  The attempts to 
dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and DAEL remains MORDANT's top warrior for 
another turn.  Tell me, is nothing sacred?  I have heard from unimpeachable sources 
that Conan's Place uses trolls in their stew.  Talk about gristle!   
     Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' 
Inscrutable, but true.  AGENTS OF OSIRIS has cause to stand tall, as they were 
MORDANT's most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team to beat.  And 
avoiding AGENTS OF OSIRIS more than any other team we find SHE'S CRAFTY.  MORDANT, 
are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?  The most challenged warrior 
this turn was POKER GREATS' warrior CINDY VIOLLETTE.  More fighters challenged her 
than challenged the Duelmaster!  Well now, what do you expect when someone like DOYLE 
BRUNSON from POKER GREATS challenges down 16 points to fight CHEESE WHIZ of LAB 
EXPERIMENTS?  Well, will you look at this, DOYLE BRUNSON lost to CHEESE WHIZ, and 
POKER GREATS will have to explain why they made such a challenge in the first place.  
Tsk, tsk, tsk.  ENURAM, does your manager know you're challenging down 16 points to 
fight SALAMANDER from WIND STORM?  We're not surprised to hear that ENURAM won 
victory over SALAMANDER, but I bet it would be interesting to hear why DESOLATE 
TEMPLE made such a challenge.  I don't know about you, but CALIS challenging down 17 
points to JGW PERISHABLE's LOST SOUL, is not really worthy of DESOLATE TEMPLE.  I 
thought challenges were for warriors, not cowards looking for easy wins.  CALIS beat 
LOST SOUL, is nothing sacred?  In a brave attempt, DANYAL from AGENTS OF OSIRIS 
challenged up 20 points to fight BALLAST from the SEA DOGS stable.  DANYAL perhaps 
got hers just desserts, seeing as she defeated BALLAST and ended up with 43 
recognition points.   
     The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.  
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed.  WIND STORM has lost KANDRIS to the 
arena in the sky, but they don't seem to be worried.  What do you expect from 
14-22-1?  Hearty mugs of ale were raised in MORDANT today as DECADO was bid farewell 
to a 8-4-1 warrior, with DAEL of SWEORDMASTERS standing silent and pensive.  I guess 
it was coming sooner or later, WIND STORM has lost TARMON GAI'DON, and MORDANT is 
bound to miss him.  For a little while, at least.  RANIS has departed MORDANT, 
leaving DRAGONLANCE without their 3-5-0 warrior.  Question, just what was his team 
doing at the taverns last night?  DESOLATE TEMPLE, with any luck WIND STORM will 
successfully bloodfeud N'AZADAR for killing such a warrior as TARMON GAI'DON.  Have a 
little decency, will ya?  Kudos go out to VERMILION this turn, for revenging JGW 
PERISHABLE's bloodfeud against AGENTS OF OSIRIS' warrior TENAKA KHAN.  Well done.  Is 
it really true that MORDANT has more dishwashers per capita that fighters?  Just 
thought I'd ask...   
     I like this place, MORDANT, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.  
Who could ask for more?  Well, I'm burning daylight here in MORDANT and I've a long 
road ahead of me.  Happy Trails.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper--

Cheeze Whiz -- Oh trust me, I ain't scared.  The one time I lost to you, I was also
given the wrong "advice", I just didn't cry about it.  During my first win you had an
excuse also, so I am not surprised to see another.  I intend to downchallenge to you
once again to prove my superiority.  I am tempted to beat you down with my bare hands
actually. -- Doyle

Jimmy Wong -- Wow, that would have been sweet putting you under the dirt like I did
to Cheeze.  Tremendous damage goes a long way, doesn't it?  I just wish I could have
gotten that one more hit in before you went desperate.  Ahh well, I needed those
attack skills anyway. -- Doyle

Mannequin -- You go on this long rant about how you had a bad strategy input (again),
get your guy resurrected, then turn around and use an illegal bloodfeud that should
never have been allowed against my warrior?  You would figure if you got your guy
back and the loss was taken away from your record you wouldn't be able to turn around
and use a bloodfeud that shouldn't be there to downchallenge from the DM spot against
my warrior.  Bad form, my friend. -- Tripwire

Battle Angel -- I hate to admit that I enjoyed that fight! -- N'Azadar

Zima -- The one hitter quitter, ahhh.  I love it! -- Enuram, Hand of Death

Ballast -- Hopefully no hard feelings! -- Kazach

Comicus -- I had you there.  Good way to get that last hit in before you fell!
Salute! -- Rellik

Tarmon Gaidon -- Who will win Rand, or the Dark One?  I've been waiting to find out
for years! -- D.K. Toker

D.K. Osiris -- Let's keep it going, bro!  This is proving to be fun! -- D.K. Toker

Civil War/The Crusades

The next edition of the Civil War series is to be held in Tobir, arena 14, beginning
November 25th with a round where all participating managers must DA all 5 of their
warriors; in addition all warriors must be prefixed with an A an F or a D in the
following manner:  A-Broke Stroker or (A) Broke Stroker.  Names simply beginning with
the letter of your federation will NOT count as properly prefixed!  Existing teams
are welcome but no warrior who survives the DA who had prior Fight Experience (arena
or tourney) will be allowed to score or challenge into the contest teams.  There will
be an equal number of teams set up for each of the three factions (Andorian, Free
Blades, and Delarquan) to create sides as equal as possible.  This along with the DA
round should set up pretty equal footing for all managers.  After the DA there will
be another round where you can either DA again or fight your new, or surviving,
warriors so they will be set up to challenge an opponent beginning on round 1.  So as
a recap DA round, turn 0, then turn 1 it begins with the following rules:

The Civil War to be held in arena 14.
- The contest runs for 10-28 turns (barring ties).
- No tourney participation allowed.  Teams with warriors participating in any
  tournament are disqualified.
- An even number of teams per faction worked out by the Faction Leaders.  No later
  substitutions are allowed.
- If a manager brings in a second team and challenges into the contest he is DQ'd and
  his side will fight one team short!
- Three factions will be participating:  Andorian, Delarquan, Free Blades
- Everyone prefixes their warrior with A-, F-, or D- (No prefix = disqualification of
  the warrior)
- Turn DA:  (The DA Round) November 25, 2006.  Every warrior must DA.  (Warriors not
  DA'd on Turn 0 are disqualified)
- Turn 0:  December 9th, 2006.  There will be no scoring this turn it is meant to
  allow for challenges on turn 1.
- Turn 1+:  Scoring as detailed below
- Each team gets 1 point for defeating a warrior from an opposing team.
- Fights against warriors on your team do not generate points in any situation.
- The team with the most points each turn gets a Battle Point (if there is a tie for
  the most points then no Battle Points are accrued)
- The first team to 10 Battle Points wins the war
- Managers of teams on the winning side each receive a +1 bonus potion to be used on
  a warrior on their contest team.  This must be applied within a month of the
  conclusion of the contest and the team must have been active on the last turn of
  the contest.

Anyone wishing to participate, and feels they can probably stick around for the
duration (don't want to handicap a side, of course unforeseeable events cannot be
planned for), should either diplo me at THE DEATH SQUAD(63) in Tobir (arena 14) or
place a personal ad in the arena.  You may also contact me via the Duel2.com boards!
Let me know which faction you would like to fight for!  This contest is intended to
be open to ALL managers wishing to pit themselves against each other to try and
determine which faction has the best managers! -- Street Legal

     I am back in the arena and thinking back to those days in 1984 where I was a
novice and clueless manager.
     Now, 22 years later it looks like I am an ancient and once again clueless
manager.
     I am looking to recover some old warriors.  Since none of them are Aimed Blows,
they are no threat to win anything.  I just want to see how they turned out.

The Couatl 2-17
Madam Butterfly 20-701
Gypsy Moth 20-703
King Crab 21-1
Priestess Python 26-1388

Please contact me at DekeYoung@Comcast.net if you know about any of these ancient
warriors, or just want to bs about the old, old, old times.

It is obvious that the Dark Knights wish to be shown the light.  Allow me to step
forward and blind them with truth.  YOU ARE WORTHLESS!!!  The Dark Knights are so
afraid of the light that they hide behind their black armor and empty threats.  It is
too bad they are unwilling to actually FIGHT us!  I guess our natural light is too
bright for you all to face!  Fear us, for we are here! -- Gemini Goldphoenix,
Overlord of the Avengers of Light!
