SPY REPORT
Greetings, warriors of KALTOS! Once again I've been called out of retirement
for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting. What's with SUSHIE? She actually
beat THE MIDDLE WAY 5's FERGUS HILL, and walked away with 13 more points from the
fight. Laughs were big at PAPER MARIO while they watched SUSHIE clobber FERGUS HILL.
He lost 6 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. Har har har!
Did TONY TWILO wimp out, or just get lazy? Anyway, he's not Duelmaster anymore. I
can barely restrain my enthusiam for SPORTS GREATS' outstanding member, Duelmaster
MICKEY MANTLE. I suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your
fellow fighters? Tough!
Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... KALTOS thinks HOUSE OF
PANCAKES and their 14-3-0 is too much! If at first you don't succeed, give up...
The bums at PAPER MARIO couldn't face the challenges from HOUSE OF PANCAKES! No
excuse for that! How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior,
GLORIA IMBRO! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you.
A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters
don't accept this. The best do. Here's some advice: study your opponent, master
many skills, fight dirty.
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here? All
work and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter. Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.
Olaffighterwork and no play. Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and
good luck. Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Overd -- You are going to have to wait in line. My after-hours dance card is heavily
occupied. Keep trying. Don't forget me.... I truly did enjoy both out dances in
the arena. -- Bombette
Luigi -- I think Short Stack cheated. How else could a little shrimp like that one-
up me. Me!? Do you hear me? -- Tubba Blubba
Tubba -- Shaddup and get back to the smorgasbord. -- Luigi
Jerri Lough -- No fishy stuff from me. I always say, "spare the rod and spoil the
fight". (wink) -- Star Rod
Elinde -- I guess I didn't treat you any better than Star Rod, did I? Gee! -- Twink
Mickey Mantle -- Odd, that. Mickey Cloak? I admit the alliteration sounds better,
has a sort of swing to it. And you definitely swung at me. -- Gloria Imbro
P.S. It's probably a factor of the confusion when I woke up days later, but I have
this mental image of you with a club, on a package of..."Wheaties"?
Rudon -- Ah? And what did you do to draw the wrath of a wizard upon you? And what
wizard, for that matter. I want to be sure not to repeat your mistake, you see.
I've already got all the problems I need! -- Fergus Hill
P.S. Obviously, since I'm a gladiator.
Twink -- Golems give me hives. I never know what to make of them, although I always
WANT to make "spare parts" of them. -- Elinde Goss
Bombette -- And a big, striking bomb you are, too. -- Orverd Quill
Star Rod -- (scowling) Were you using some kind of magic during that fight? Playing
with the passage of time in some weird way, so that I got tired and you didn't. I
bet you were! -- Jeri Lough the indignant
11 August 2006
All -- I support Vendetta Cartel's observation of The Dark Knights! If war is
declared on V.C. by The Dark Knights, then war is also declared on The Dark Knights
of the Desolate Empire by The Avengers of Light! We have been quietly awaiting such
a chance to expose ourselves (all interested parties contact me c/o The Barbarians:
DM 31, Attn: Timothias)! Come, Vendetta Cartel, let us show these broke-down
"Knights" what true warriors are! -- Gemini Goldphoenix, Overlord of The Avengers of
Light
26 August 2006
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
