SPY REPORT
Hail JHELUM! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your
deeds. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for F
BALLS, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 4 into 8th. TRIBAL COUNCIL stable has
parlayed this turn's 0-0-0 into a 3 space move up the rankings. This brings them up
to 6th place. Good work, guys! And let's see, EPIMONIDAS fought LEGALASS and gained
19 points and contributed to DOGS OF WAR's 3-2-0. DECAPITATOR has lost to SCANDALF,
falling 12 points, while helping make DEATH SQUAD a 2-3-1 turn. Due to hers absence
and inability to defend the throne, PUY has lost the title of Duelmaster. We should
ask SCANDALF about the thrill of victory, and what being the new Duelmaster does for
a warrior, he's now the one to ask. By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw
last night, cramped under the table at The Warty Toad?
The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more
could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that. DOGS OF WAR has cause to stand
tall, as they were JHELUM's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team
to beat. And avoiding DOGS OF WAR more than any other team we find LOTHLORIEN.
JHELUM, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? The most challenged
warrior this turn was DEATH SQUAD's warrior DECAPITATOR. More fighters challenged
him than challenged the Duelmaster!
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover
or hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
I like this place, JHELUM, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.
Who could ask for more? It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep
your swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets
to paper-- Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Puy does not deserve it. -- Gloom And Doom
White Thunder -- We already did this, dude. I could get along just fine without
those extra losses, you know. -- Hannibal, grumbling because the Roman baths are
closed and he was really looking forward to a Roman bath
Foot Ball -- The arenamaster thought you were trying to bury me in the sand, which
would have been bad enough. But no, the real truth is that you were trying to place-
kick me, and you kept MISSING and kicking sand in my face. Lucky for you that I'm a
ninety-pound weakling. -- Challon
Scandalf -- If I had REALLY, completely died because you were carousing and making a
scandalf of yourself when you should have been paying attention and making sure the
orderlies didn't keep DROPPING me, it would have caused a major outbreak of booing
and hissing, you know. The fans love me. -- Jimmy Custer
P.S. Thanks for the skills, at least.
Bore-O-Me -- Gods, man, get some new jokes! That was AWFUL. Hell, even recitations
of the Iliad would be better, despite what a pig that glory-hound Achilles was. --
Epimonidas
Celeborn -- I was all set with some kind of dumb comment, which is the only kind our
manager provides, and then I saw that you nearly died. This is awful! Think how
upset Galadriel would be! I really don't want Galadriel upset with me. In fact, I
shudder to think of what she might do. So, don't die, okay? My nerves couldn't
stand it. -- Howard
Ed. -- Of course it would be a lot of stew, but remember, I had an army to feed. --
Hannibal
Ah, right. An ingenious solution to both problems. -- Ed.
Scandalf -- You can say that again, but not being Bore-O-Me, I trust you won't. Say
something else, instead. -- Epimonidas
P.S. It's a lot easier to make conversation if two people are talking.

The Avengers of Light. Another VC lackey? What's the matter VC, are you scared?
Bringing in reinforcements. It matters not, bring your avengers and they shall be
crushed! I am Dark Knight Blackstorm and I represent the Desolate Empire and can
easily be found in 8, 28, 31, 47, 54, and 106. I reply with steel and your women
shall cry when they start the body count!!!!!!!!! Remember to sign your posts to
whoever from the VC wrote that earlier Ad. -- Dark Knight Blackstorm

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.
