SPY REPORT
Hail KALTOS! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your
deeds. We should ask FREDERICK DOUGLASS 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 Victory Tavern?
The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more
could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that. I also notice that the THE MIDDLE
WAY 5 stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on KALTOS, what are you
afraid of? And guess who avoided THE MIDDLE WAY 5 stable the most? Believe it or
not, it was THE TAKEN. Anyone surprised? The most challenged warrior this turn was
JOHNS' warrior HOFFA. More fighters challenged him than challenged the Duelmaster!
In a brave attempt, HOWLER from THE TAKEN challenged up 22 points to fight BELISS DON
from the THE MIDDLE WAY 5 stable. HOWLER perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he
overcame BELISS DON and ended up with 66 recognition points.
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. Congratulations go out to THE
MIDDLE WAY 5, with JAD LADRUE revenging a bloodfeud against SILENT of THE TAKEN.
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? Always good to rest in KALTOS, but never good to wear out my
welcome. Look for me in future turns. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to
paper-- Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Howler -- Well, darn. I was hoping it'd be you howling at the end of the fight.
Ouch. That was my drinking arm. -- Jad Ladrue, resigned to a week or two of sobriety
Rose -- Ouch! Would a Rose by any other name hit me so hard? -- Goran Insit
John Tyler -- Not only could you not kill a houseplant, you probably couldn't even
catch a two-legged mouse! -- Derbie Foyle the rather too self-satisfied
Fried Twinkie -- That decreases the vitality, you know. Probably takes away all the
nutritional value, too. -- Beliss Don
P.S. Assuming twinkies have any nutritional value, which is debatable.
Goblin -- Well, I'll tell you, I wish you HAD buried me in the sand, because then I
wouldn't have to look at you. Gods, you're ugly! -- Hans Joilice
Beliss Don -- That is a sound strategy friend, hooooooowlllll. -- The Howler
Ghost -- My condolences. I wanted to beat you, not make you push up roses. -- Silent
Hoffa -- Sorry for the three challenges. I hate challenge the same person too many
times but there is not much room here. -- Soul Catcher
P.S. Your soul is mine. :)
Insit -- It is my duty to pummel you; would ye have me do less? -- Rose
All -- Hello gladiators and mangers of the arena, I bid thee salutations. I
apologize for my lack of manners as of late but I have been busy. I'm Silver Stroke
and I run The Taken. I look forward to many hard fought battles with all of you on
the sands. Till then, may your sword stay bloody and swing true. -- Silver Stroke,
mgr. The Taken
Insit -- I want to gnaw on your bones. -- Goblin
Silent -- For a quiet guy you talk too much--keep quiet. :) -- Silver Stroke

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.
