SPY REPORT
I was going on vacation, see? Surf, sun... But what do those bums say? "Hit
the road, Debby Tonte. KALTOS needs a spyreport." Oh, well. MVP award for FAST
FORWARD? TECHNOLOGY's proud of him after beating HOWLER and getting 16 points. Talk
about yer big time losers! HOWLER got smashed by FAST FORWARD, and lost 14 points!
What a putz! FREDERICK DOUGLASS fights so hard to be Duelmaster, then quits fighting
and loses the title. No one said he was a genius... And I was just getting used to
the ex-Duelmaster's habit of...(!) Oh well, welcome SUX0R. Aren't MORE NEW TEAMS 2
proud. (Oh, my.) I hear the top team insists all their warriors get nine hours
sleep. They want photogenic fighters for PR photos.
AAARRGH!!! I HATE SPYREPORTING!!! Sorry. I just had to say it. THE MIDDLE
WAY 5 was KALTOS' most avoided team. Is there some award for that? Hhmph! What
kind of warriors are THE TAKEN? THE MIDDLE WAY 5, an easy team to beat if I ever saw
one, can't get them to accept an invitation! Like, is HOFFA popular, or what? He
was challenged the most in all of KALTOS! He's got a 7-43-0, is that good?
What does a fighter fight for? I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone
gets killed. Not after four more fights. Hey you guys, don't you think your
families would like to hear from you? Write! (Or have someone write for you.)
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really should stop.
Remember you guys, ease up sometimes! Chill out! Later, Debby Tonte

Beliss -- (deep snarl)...Hooooooooowl. -- The Howler
The Howler -- You need to eat less red meat. :) -- Silver Stroke (putting Howler on a
diet, not Aktins though)
John Tyler -- I carved you up like a turkey. How did you get out of that plate
later? -- Soul Catcher
Insit -- (gnawing on femur) Mmmm...(licking lips)...you want your leg back? --
Goblin
Jad Ladrue -- Ouch. -- Silent
Han -- Close one, friend. We'll meet again, I'm sure of that. -- Tose
Howler -- (wincing) That's quite a sonic attack you have there. -- Beliss Don
Goblin -- (heavy sigh) I'm cursed, you know. It's my style. People of my style are
ALWAYS cursed. -- Goran Insit
M. Chardinee is a disgrace to dueling. -- Derbie Foyle
Silent -- That's why I never bother with insurance. You can't trust the agents and
they're full of fine print and they never, ever pay off. -- Jad Ladrue
P.S. But I'd be glad to buy you a drink once you get out.
Rose -- Who'd take a sweet little flower like you? -- Hans Joilice
P.S. Unless by "Taken" it means you already have a boyfriend? That'd by just my
luck.
Rose -- Well, yes, when it comes to the arena. Definitely do not pummel me
mercilessly. But I'm sure we can find you something strenuous to do outside the
arena. -- Goran Insit
Silver Stroke -- Every time I turn around, there you are. -- Nick, The Middle Way,
whichever one this is
P.S. We're very familiar with the Small Arena Syndrome and take no offense at the
types of challenges that may be necessary. We're here for you.
Goblin -- I'm still USING my bones, thank you very much! -- Goran Insit

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.

CHAOTIC WINDS
Once, long ago, the four Winds of Time descended upon Alastari like a TEMPEST of
epic proportions, they slew everything within their all-encompassing reach. They
left nothing. In their wake lay smoldering ruins.
In their haste they sped towards the center of this great land like a colossal
giant would step across an ocean. The four storms picked up momentum on their way
towards each other. A collision was eminent.
The first storm wind, the oldest and wisest of the four was named APEXALUS. The
second, FLAGGSTAFF, was the quickest and loudest entity ever created. The third Wind
of Time was MATRIATIN, neither old or young, quick or slow, but fierce and feisty all
the same. The forth wind, ASSAMITHIUS, the youngest yet most creative in its means
of destruction.
When finally they merged at the center of ALASTARI, an incredible destructive
explosion occurred. And when the smoke and debris cleared they were one. CHAOS was
born.
And Chaos spread across the diminished lands reeking havoc and doom with its
passing, and destroying allover again that which already lay in ruin.
