SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt KALTOS will ever be the same. The MORE NEW TEAMS 2 guild has had a 3-0-1
turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You never know where this kind of
thing can lead. And let's see, BULL DURHAM fought FARON HARN and gained 16 points
and contributed to PARTY ANIMALS' 2-2-0. BEATLE BAILEY has lost to FOLIE HANNA,
falling 8 points, while helping make PARTY ANIMALS a 2-2-0 turn. The attempts to
dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and AUTOMATON remains KALTOS' top warrior for
another turn. Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top team makes their
losing fighters do dishes at The Victory Tavern until they win. Maybe?
The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more
could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that. MORE NEW TEAMS 2 has cause to
stand tall, as they were KALTOS' most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a
team to beat. And avoiding MORE NEW TEAMS 2 more than any other team we find PARTY
ANIMALS. KALTOS, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? The most
challenged warrior this turn was CRAYOLA KILLERS' warrior BURNT OCHER. More fighters
challenged him than challenged the Duelmaster! Tsk, tsk, tsk. TIGER WOODS, does
your manager know you're challenging down 18 points to fight BEER GEYSER from MORE
NEW TEAMS 2? Well, surprise, surprise, TIGER WOODS was dealt death by BEER GEYSER,
and by the way, TIGER WOODS now has a recognition score of 15. TONY TWILO of HOUSE
OF PANCAKES had better have a good reason for challenging down 13 points in a
challenge which he won. I thought TONY TWILO showed great skill and promise when he
subdued HOFFA. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their
enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered rude.
I like this place, KALTOS, 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 you see my quill in KALTOS again,
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Automaton -- Nicely done, a primo scumjob. I'd like another shot, however.... --
Burnt Ocher
Beatle Bailey -- Oog, go find a party somewhere. You're exhausting. -- Faron Harn
Bull Durham -- That's bad for you, you know. It ruins your wind. -- Folie Hanna
Mouse Davis -- So why doesn't the Commission just ADMIT that you're a mouse? One of
the other Middle Way teams has a mouse on it. Of course, he's a rotten gladiator.
That MIGHT be a mousely characteristic, in which case I can understand your modesty.
But still. -- Jad Ladrue
Suxor -- NOT my kind of fight, I'm afraid. But you do it very well. -- Beliss Don
The Userous Merchant is sly, cunning, twisty, and slick, but I was a match for him!
-- Derbie Foyle
Ed. -- I resemble that remark! -- Beliss Don

ANNOUNCING THE RETURN OF STORMCROWE SLAUGHTERHOUSE
The last Stormcrowe Slaughterhouse was one of the closest and most exciting
contests ever held in Alastari. Such an epic demands a sequel. Therefore, Master
Darque and Jack Wolfspider are pleased to announce the return of the Stormcrowe
Slaughterhouse.
Where? Stormcrowe DM 45 (slow). When? The Slaughterhouse returns on Turn 207,
due August 19. How can you get into the action? Bring a team (one per entrant
please) to arena 45 and announce your intention to join the contest in the Personals.
Rules: This time around the rules are very simple. Each warrior win against a
higher rated opponent (one or more points higher in the ratings) brings you 10
points, against even rated opponent 7 points, lower rated 5 points. Wins against
NPCs or by a warrior who downchallenges are worth 0 points. Points are doubled for
kills. All warriors in the arena whether participating in the Slaughterhouse or not
are fair game. Points are totaled weekly, and the contestant whose team has racked
up the most points at the end of 10 turns is declared Slaughterhouse Champion.
Prizes: To be announced; we're still talking with RSI about it. Figure it will
be something pretty good. But hey, who needs prizes when the honor of being
Slaughterhouse Champion awaits!
More info: Master Darque, MasterDarqueDM@aol.com, or Jack Wolfspider,
russtulp@aol.com. Or diplo Darque Forces (428) or Dynastic (433) in Arena 45.
