SPY REPORT
Hail NIANIA! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your
deeds. And let's see, ABALONEA fought SORRY JUNK and gained 20 points and
contributed to THE GOLDEN FISH's 4-1-0. SORRY JUNK has lost to ABALONEA, falling 18
points, while helping make BIG COUNTRY a 2-2-0 turn. We should ask BIG RED about the
thrill of victory, and what being the new Duelmaster does for a warrior, he's now the
one to ask. Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top team makes their
losing fighters do dishes at Jim's Tap Room until they win. Maybe?
I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling. A basher
friend of mine assures me this is true. I also notice that the GLORY BOUND TROLLS
stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on NIANIA, what are you afraid of?
And avoiding GLORY BOUND TROLLS more than any other team we find BIG COUNTRY.
NIANIA, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? The most challenged
warrior this turn was GLORY BOUND TROLLS' warrior FIERCE ONE-EYE. More fighters
challenged it than challenged the Duelmaster!
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? Is it really true that NIANIA has more dishwashers per capita that
fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. Always good to rest in NIANIA, but never good to wear out my welcome.
Look for me in future turns. Until you see my quill in NIANIA again, farewell--
Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
See, Wally the Wacko, I told you the reason Big Red had not received an invitation to
ADM was due to his Arena Fight Count. Twenty, that is the magic number (unless they
have a LOT of FE's from Tournaments). -- Shocking Toad
All -- I have been meaning to come to Niania for along while now. A rollup fell into
my lap and I couldn't resist the temptation any longer. So, please welcome my newest
stable of Knights Templar (soon to be everywhere). I don't know how often or how
many I'll run, but we're here nonetheless. Personally, I'm Delarquan. I don't whine
over deaths, nor do I have any compunction about killing. Talk as much smack as you
enjoy. You pay the same as I do. I don't, however, ordinarily downchallenge. That
is, unless someone begins that little nastiness. Then ya'll know how it goes. I've
taken the liberty of naming one of my warriors after each of the managers in this
arena that I know of. Any specific customs here, just let me know. -- Baphomet
All -- Any chance of getting Sensei Jan back in here? I'd like to put my foot up her
behind. -- Baphomet
Sorry Junk -- That joke is kinda old by now. Of course, without a name-change-o-
rama, you and the rest of us are stuck with it, aren't we? Ah, well. -- Abalonea
One Brow -- Well, darn, that was a great turn-around you managed. I was SURE I had
you at the bottom of the first page...and then I turned it over. (sigh) Story of my
life. Just so it doesn't end up the story of my death! -- Yellow Pike
Well, it's easy to see why that Orc was captured. What a wuss. -- Lubaya
The Ambitious Guard will never make it in a larger world than the one he's used to,
because he is too dumb to realize what is beyond his capabilities. Such as dueling.
He isn't up for that. -- Nellistha
Maybe we should send the Fratsfa Slave back to Fratsfa. He could be our secret
weapon. Anyone depending on him to fight would lose. -- Analira
Sorry Junk -- If you have to fight in the dark, just keep on as you have been doing.
That's fair-to-middling fierce, after all. -- Abalonea
All -- Well it was nice knowing you all. But it is time for me to move on the next
phase of my life. I don't harbor any ill feelings to any of you. But I will say
this, TOOFLESS you have my utmost RESPECT, I really mean that. Hopefully one day you
will join me. This is my first ever invite to any thing in my life. -- Yippi Ka Yay
(Big Red)
P.S. From the Manager from BIG COUNTRY. This is my first ever ADM warrior to make
it this far. He left with 80 learned skills. He was the best T.P. that I had. A
good friend told me many months ago that he would be great one day. Thanks, Sir
Chester.
Abalonea -- Why do we keep meeting like this? I was only to be here for a short
while. But my manager said I am learning so well I can stay around. But I have to
fight other warriors. Sorry Junk is my nickname because I collect junk nobody else
wants. -- Sorry Junk
Fierce One Eye -- Well, you really showed me that you do have one good eye still to
see. You were for sure the fiercest one this time. Congrats on your big win. Also
thank you for the skills. -- Billy
Toofless -- Congrats on your victory. You must have eaten breakfast. Or I didn't
eat my Wheaties that morning. Thank you for that skill. It was what I needed to
leave this arena. -- Big Red
All -- Welcome Jim to the arena. He said he wanted to fight. So I am going to give
him a chance. -- Big Country
Glory Bound Trolls -- Did you receive my diplo yet? -- Big Country

ZalCon2 Updates (1/9/04)
The contest will be starting on the turn due February 23rd, 2004 and run for 20
turns.
Only one team will be allowed for each manager in the contest, regardless of
whether additional teams are announced as contest entries. No exceptions for any
reason.
The Style Master points should read that there is +1 point for beating a member
of your own style even if the warrior is not registered for the contest.
Rolling points for consecutive turns as Style Master means that your warrior
gets the extra point every turn after the first 3 that he continues to hold the
title.
The points for Quality Wins should be clarified to read the winning warrior is
ranked below by the number of recognition points needed for each bonus point at the
start of the fight. For example, Warrior A (3-2-0, 17) beats Warrior B (4-1-0, 35)
and receives 2 bonus points under Quality Win for the 18 point difference in the
ranking.
I believe that is all the clarifications for the moment, please feel free to
email, diplo, call or write me with any other questions or concerns about the
contest.

CHAOTIC WINDS
Once, long ago, the four Winds of Time descended upon Alastari like a TEMPEST of
epic proportions, they slew everything within their all-encompassing reach. They
left nothing. In their wake lay smoldering ruins.
In their haste they sped towards the center of this great land like a colossal
giant would step across an ocean. The four storms picked up momentum on their way
towards each other. A collision was eminent.
The first storm wind, the oldest and wisest of the four was named APEXALUS. The
second, FLAGGSTAFF, was the quickest and loudest entity ever created. The third Wind
of Time was MATRIATIN, neither old or young, quick or slow, but fierce and feisty all
the same. The forth wind, ASSAMITHIUS, the youngest yet most creative in its means
of destruction.
When finally they merged at the center of ALASTARI, an incredible destructive
explosion occurred. And when the smoke and debris cleared they were one. CHAOS was
born.
And Chaos spread across the diminished lands reeking havoc and doom with its
passing, and destroying allover again that which already lay in ruin.
