SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of TRANSEL! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Former top team JETHRO'S TOOLS was
unseated this week as BATTLE BEASTS moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot
with a 3-1-0 record for the round. Fortune did not smile upon KREWE OF DRUID this
time out who this turn suffered a fall into 12th position in the wake of a 0-2-0
round. Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner! Witness how
this week SCIENCE FICTION went 4-1-0 to move up 3 in the rankings. The city turned
out in welcome to meet the banners of a new guild, ROKUGAN II, as they entered the
city this week. May victory find you! CASEOPEIA caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested KAIARI and was awarded 19 points in
recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, CASEOPEIA put down KAIARI,
causing her to lose 16 points of recognition in the process. This time out GRIZZLY
ADAMS made his bid for the throne as he challenged SHEMAN DO in an all out contest of
skill for possession of the title! The city has turned out in honor of GRIZZLY
ADAMS, for with his arena victory he may now lay claim to the highest position in the
city! Would you believe that over half of the old women in TRANSEL seem to feel that
they could fight better than you gladiators?
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city TRANSEL. I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's
challenge seeking began. SCIENCE FICTION is feared. This much I can say. If you
didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any of JETHRO'S
TOOLS last week. Busy avoiding SCIENCE FICTION? Mighty fighters cannot but expect
competition from those below. HOMOCULOUS take warning! You have more than a few
enemies in TRANSEL. A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it
seems that BARRTANA HAVAL posted a challenge against the more highly recognized
SERENGETI. The results, you ask? Well, the firebrand BARRTANA HAVAL was beat by
SERENGETI. Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel.
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the miserable with fortune
but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
The girls are as pretty in TRANSEL as ever I remembered them....and the fighters
as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far
off city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember: a fool flies into
a rage quickly and often. The wise are angered by the same thing only once. Zontani

Well, Doc Steele, I don't have to worry about Second Omen anymore, that is unless he
also has a Second Life. You are up on the head to head but I've drawn first blood.
Hopefully you'll activate the rest of your stable and my new warriors will contribute
to this cute little feud of ours. -- Shocking Toad
P.S. What's the count, 2-6-1 in your favor?
Sea Lion -- I see your skill and bravery, and am happy you didn't die in the
infirmary. I hold you an equal. -- Artona De' Haval
Wind-up -- I thought you were a half-elf? No matter. I see what Bree meant by using
a can opener. Had fun with you anyway. -- Abbas
Warchild -- That was incredible. My best loss to date. -- Shamias
Ikoma Isanuri -- Thank you for the lesson, and yes, honor to Rokugan. -- Breeana of
Clan Ahrinour
Persistent Beggar -- Stop by the guildhouse for a free meal or two. -- Liam
Jethro -- Well done. You got the better of me this turn. May our rivalry be a
friendly one. -- Liam the Goth
P.S. My mail is 14-18 days behind, so I miss a lot. Sorry.
Sheman Do -- *blink blink* Well, look who made it to the big time! Congratulations
are in order, though I don't expect your reign to last too long. -- Fat Man
Kaiari -- Apparently, I had a little more patience than I thought. -- Fat Man
Ivanmoe -- If it's all the same to you, can we skip the tiebreaker? -- Warchild
Hamish -- Yeah, maybe I missed ya...but I'm gonna keep a-swingin' until I connect. --
Jethro
Sheman Do -- Wow! You must be really good taking out Delapp like that. Let's see
how you do against me. -- Grizzly Adams
Jethro's Tools -- You are having a really good run here. Robbing me out of precious
prizes. -- Sensei Jan
Grizzly -- Maybe I should've tried you on for size. It's a tough one to swallow,
but, I'll be back up there shortly, shaving your nasty beard. -- Delapp (master of
bad strategy)
Jan -- This is all part of my plan. Do you remember 'Kaiser Soze.' -- BPR
Sheman -- That was a big mistake. -- Delapp
31 October 2003
Come one, come all, to the greatest contest in Alastari! The Third Annual Turf
War will be in North Fork (DM 47) starting in about 6-7 turns.... C'mon and get your
team some experience, and get declared!

TOURNEY FREEZE CHANGE -- ADVANCE NOTICE
Beginning at the Winter Face-to-Face in Tempe (January 2004), we will implement
several changes affecting tournaments. The tournament announcement for the upcoming
FTF and future tourneys will reflect these changes.
First, we will eliminate the tourney freeze for all regular DM warrior classes.
Regular DM warriors will not be classed ahead of the tournament, but instead will
fight according to their FE on the date of the tourney. There will still be a freeze
for the ADM classes, occurring on the same timeline as before, approximately 6 weeks
before the tournament.
In addition to the above change, the warrior classes will be slightly altered.
The new tourney classes will be as follows:
DM Tourney Classes ADM Tourney Classes
====================== ======================
0 FE: Rookies Freshmen
1-4 FE: Apprentices ADM
5-10 FE: Initiates Eligibles
11-20 FE: Adepts ---induction---
21-30 FE: Champions Contenders
31+ FE: Challengers Primus
All regular DM tourney classes will remain solely FE based. All ADM classes will
now be based on warrior characteristics (i.e., the ADM split algorithm), including the
Freshmen class.
The Gateway and Primus arenas will be merging before the FTF to form one top
arena. These warriors will be split into two tournament classes, the Contenders and
the Primus classes, again based upon their characteristics. More information on this
will be published in the newsletters for those arenas.
If you have any questions about the above changes, please contact Customer
Service. Good luck in your games.
