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 DARK PANTHEON was
unseated this week as HOLIDAY HORRORS moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot
with a 2-2-1 record for the round. CRAZED CUPID caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested HOBBLED and was awarded 11 points in
recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, CRAZED CUPID put down HOBBLED,
causing him to lose 1 points of recognition in the process. Although NURNIN THE
UNLUCKY made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious
COOKIE FOR THE SOUL. Would you believe that over half of the old women in TRANSEL
seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators?
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. TRANSEL, city of gladiators!
Mighty among the names of thy guilds is HOLIDAY HORRORS, a guild shunned and avoided
by many in the weekly duels. If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been
hard pressed to find any of HOLIDAY HORRORS last week. Busy avoiding HOLIDAY
HORRORS? Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. HOBBLED
take warning! You have more than a few enemies in TRANSEL.
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena
there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off
city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier
than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

Several questions have been asked about Slaughter's Challenge that I'd like to
address and clarify.
1) All Prizes must be used on the contest team, this includes the resurrection.
Remember any fast arena team should be able to transfer to a slow arena
(except for arena 82, I believe).
2) Warriors will be allowed to fight and run in the dead tourney, should there
be one, and return if an opening can be made without breaking the rules
(i.e. only one DA fight allowed per team).
3) If you win your single DA match you do not get another. It's one use of the
Dark Arena win or lose so if you want him/her/it dead be sure and throw the
match!
4) The resurrection potion's longevity has been extended by the commission to 6
months but the other potions (favorites, and +1 bonus) must still be used
within 2 turns and on a 5 FE or higher warrior. The resurrection can go on
any warrior regardless of FE.
Street Legal
P.S. My thanks to those already entered (Hammer, The Consortium, Tripwire, Stik, and
Shaman) and hope many more find a reason to come to arena 54. Again, my email is
triumph1971@hotmail.com or you can diplo me in arena 14 at THE DEATH SQUAD (63) if
you need more info!

Amendment for "Fratsfas Quest for the Best!"
Managers that have teams already established in Fratsfa need not have (3) three
warriors in the initiates. FE will NOT be a factor. Stables may be entered at any
time. Just announce your stable in the p-ads.
***************************************************************************
This in my invitation to all managers who wish to prove their mettle against
managers from all over Alastari. We have limited TP's in this contest to one a team
at a time. We DO NOT want this contest to become a scum fest as many others have,
hence the Andorian arena. Good luck to all who come to prove their skills. "May
your enemies' blood flow freely" -- Dark Knight Toker, Desolate Empire Alliance
