SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly NIANIA games. FREDILILLA caught the eye of many in
the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested HEMLOCK and was awarded 20
points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, FREDILILLA put down
HEMLOCK, causing him to lose 18 points of recognition in the process. Not for
nothing has TWO-PIECE TOENAIL in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and
this week it's proven its combat skill yet again. Heed this! A seer has warned that
if exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole city shall perish! Just remember...5
or 7!
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city NIANIA. NIANIA, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of thy
guilds is THE GOLDEN FISH, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels.
Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the better part
of last week avoiding THE GOLDEN FISH. Indeed it was 042909A. Mighty fighters
cannot but expect competition from those below. EJ DOME take warning! You have more
than a few enemies in NIANIA.
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the
miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off
city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier
than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Bold Mr. Wasabi -- It's too hot for such boldness. -- Lorinda
Jean Paul Satre -- You know, you have a serious problem there, and it is your
manager. I don't know what it is with managers, maybe he thinks you're someone else?
Change your weapons. -- Helenadere
Enrko Fermi -- Helena can give advice if she wants--she could give some to me and I
wouldn't refuse it--but I think it's just too hot to be fighting at all. --
Seskerinth
Ghandi -- I suppose I should be glad you didn't take it to the ultimate contradiction
and train as a basher. That would be disconcerting. -- Harkranz
And a Cult Member, I am so thrilled. -- Fredillia
26 July 2010
Some managers have attempted to send personals and columns to hal, and hal has
been refusing to acknowledge their content. I don't know what hal's problem is,
specifically, but for best success, send PLAIN TEXT (dot txt) in the body of the
email. Not attachments. Thank you. -- the Editor

Please note that all new teams created at the Face-to-Face were temporarily placed in
a temporary Tournament Arena, DM 85. If you requested that your team be placed in a
specific arena, it has already transferred to that arena. Any teams not transferred
out of DM 85 by October 1 will be deleted. If you have questions about any of your

WINTER FACE-TO-FACE IN SUNNY ARIZONA!
Our next winter FTF will be held in Tempe, Arizona, January 14-16, 2011. It will be
held at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Tempe, Arizona (480-894-7444), the same hotel as
last year by popular request. Room rates are $129.00 per night, 1-2 occupancy, which
includes full cooked breakfast, complimentary manager's reception (yes, really!), free
airport shuttle, free parking and free high speed internet. There's a fitness center,
jacuzzi, and pool. The rooms are blocked--please make your reservation by December 22
before the block is released! (This is prime season for Phoenix, and people have been
unable to book rooms because they waited too long.) Look for the tournament info
sheet and minioverviews some time in December. We hope you're all looking forward to
it and that we will see you there!
