SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
JHELUM brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Later days, LOTHLORIEN, since DEATH
SQUAD took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. If this keeps up,
LOTHLORIEN, you'll have to shine swords instead of use them. A drop of 4 in the
rankings? Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see FOOT BALL win a fight and
gain 25 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, LEGALASS beat EPIMONIDAS and EPIMONIDAS lost 13
points. You're breakin' my heart. Looks like JHELUM has some guts at least, FORK
BALL the Duelmaster was this turn's most-challenged warrior. ARAGANT challenged
JHELUM's Duelmaster for a shot at the throne. And if variety is the spice of life,
JHELUM may be getting bland, as FORK BALL stays top dog in the city. I'm not in a
very good mood today, but why am I telling you this? You want to know what's new,
don't you, JHELUM?
My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start
talking.' I loved that woman. Now look at this. SCANDALF challenged down 18 against
F BALLS' FUZZ BALL. What a weasel! Question now is, will JHELUM accept this sort of
tacky behavior? SCANDALF beating FUZZ BALL. The insult, the....yech!
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if
the fate catches up with you sooner that later?
There's got to be a better place in JHELUM to get a drink than The Warty Toad!
Any suggestions? Just wait 'till next time I show up here, I won't be so nice! So
nyaaah! I see the crowds are getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens

Legalass -- It's inconvenient that you're a golem. Golems are so... mechanical. How
can anyone know what or even whether a golem wants? Supposing, for the sake of
discussion, that I was going to offer you something. -- Epimonidas
P.S. Even skills. Why didn't you learn any? I have several that I would have been
glad to demonstrate.
Fuzz Ball -- They let you get into the bathtub? You'd clog the drain horribly. Bad
plan. -- Howard
P.S. Unless, are YOU the "formidable problem" in the bathtub? Hair and fuzz and no
drainage?
Corra -- There is no godly value to going around in circles. I suggest a more direct
approach next time! -- Hannibal
P.S. You've got nerve enough, girl, but you're a little short on good sense.
Celeborn -- Ah, you would do that, wouldn't you? Darn. You just want my win/loss
percentage to be as bad as yours! -- Challon the mildly miffed but not terribly upset
because who wants to hit the upper ranks and get killed?
Galadriel -- You don't strike me as any kind of lady at ALL. -- Jimmy Custer
P.S. Besides, my momma told me never to trust an elf.
Gimlet -- (bristling) Yes, but do you use mouthwash? If not, it makes no difference
how often you brush! -- Howard
Arragant -- If you gave me some advice, I'd be too stuck-up to take it, so we're even
there. -- Howard

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!

a. Champions may be declared, but are not mandatory. If declared, the Champion
must be in the Adepts or lower brackets on the turn they are declared
without having gone above the Adepts bracket at any time...including
transferred teams. (I'll be watching for this occurrence!)
Bloodfeuds:
a. Bloodfeuds count for all four (4) turns. However, the same warrior may not

same conditions as noted for TVs.
h. NO switching alliance once verified by an alliance that a team has declared
for.
i. Only 7 teams are permitted per alliance for the Turf War 5.
PRIZES:
Turf Wars are a "Winner Takes All" type contest. All prizes and 100% of the RU
Certs will be given to the Captain of the winning alliance and it is his/her
responsibility to give these to the alliance membership.
I have requested from RSI the following:
a. renaming of the orth Fork (DM 47) arena;
b. renaming of Dark Arena Monsters;
c. known favourite rhythms for one warrior on each team of the winning
alliance. This warrior would be in the Initiates or above brackets on the
last turn of the Turf War (they must have at least one arena fight to
receive this award).
Baphomet, Host of TW5
Special Note: A downchallenge is considered from a higher bracket to a lower
bracket. Same bracket, more recognition points? Not a downchallenge!
