Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Former top team BEACH BABES was unseated this week as SUGAR AND SPICE moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a 2-0-0 record for the round. There were bitter words at ERRATA's guildhouse after a 1-0-0 showing this week which dropped the stable into 9th. Dark Arena anyone? Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner! Witness how this week THE BEARS II went 3-0-0 to move up 8 in the rankings. My praise to NINJAS for their 3-1-0 week this time out. Indeed, it was a skillfully fought round deserving of notice! ADAM caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested PTI and was awarded 16 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, ADAM put down PTI, causing it to lose 20 points of recognition in the process. As is fitting, the most sought after warrior on the challenge boards this week was none other than Duelmaster RAISON D'ETRE himself. Unwilling to wait upon the will of others, Duelmaster RAISON D'ETRE Dark Arena Challenged STONE GOLEM last week in a match to decide the fate of the throne. The crowds were amazed this turn, as STONE GOLEM killed the Duelmaster, RAISON D'ETRE, leaving BATHTUB ARMADA in mourning. With bloody hand ADAM has ascended to the throne of champions. Is he that one which is spoken of in the ancient texts? Heed this! A seer has warned that if exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole city shall perish! Just remember...5 or 7! I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's challenge seeking began. FLOWER CHILDREN 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 NINJAS last week. Busy avoiding FLOWER CHILDREN? 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! If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times already in BONSUR. Nice atmosphere you have here! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off city calling to me. I must away! Till we meet again, remember: a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ADAM 4830 19 42 2 123 MORGAN'S BOYS (308) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SUGARBEET 5219 17 17 0 110 SUGAR AND SPICE (501) -ANGRY CANDY 5047 23 12 1 106 FLOWER CHILDREN (26) RED NO. 40 5305 17 12 0 96 WASTELAND II (267) TASTY HANGNAIL 5463 10 6 0 95 WASTELAND II (267) -HOOSIER DADDY 5380 11 9 0 94 FLOWER CHILDREN (26) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -GOOBATRON 5026 17 18 1 90 FLOWER CHILDREN (26) PTI 5412 15 6 0 90 WASTELAND II (267) ZOOM ZOOM 5259 8 9 0 88 ERRATA (511) JERICO 4862 15 39 0 84 MORGAN'S BOYS (308) GINGER 5518 10 1 0 75 SUGAR AND SPICE (501) TALLAHASSE TINA 4889 12 38 0 74 BEACH BABES (309) MAGOBE IBUKA 5391 12 9 1 71 NINJAS (35) -MICRO MIRACLE 5236 11 8 0 71 WASTELAND II (267) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME TERRI TOWEL 5306 14 16 1 66 BEACH BABES (309) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -7-11 4880 6 0 0 55 7TH HEAVEN II (470) DEEDS 5177 7 21 1 53 RANCID BLOKES (503) CHEAP 5181 6 22 0 50 RANCID BLOKES (503) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -GROOVE THANG 5474 5 4 0 50 FLOWER CHILDREN (26) CAESAR 5470 6 3 2 49 THE BEARS II (510) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SILENT WARNING 5446 2 2 0 30 THE BEARS II (510) SANDBAR SALLY 5469 6 10 0 28 BEACH BABES (309) -77 SUNSET STRIP 4882 5 1 0 28 7TH HEAVEN II (470) -7TH HEAVEN 4959 2 0 0 27 7TH HEAVEN II (470) -ROGUE 5263 4 7 0 26 ERRATA (511) -WALLET 5260 4 4 0 25 ERRATA (511) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -WARSPITE 5558 3 1 0 20 BATHTUB ARMADA (515) -DILL WEED 5241 2 1 0 17 SUGAR AND SPICE (501) HUGGER 5573 1 1 0 14 THE BEARS II (510) RURI IBI 5595 1 0 0 13 NINJAS (35) -DEAD POET 5562 1 1 0 12 FLOWER CHILDREN (26) -THYME 5563 2 2 1 11 SUGAR AND SPICE (501) -DIRT 5178 1 0 0 11 RANCID BLOKES (503) ANZAI MURO 5594 1 0 0 10 NINJAS (35) -7 DEADLY SINS 4883 0 3 0 7 7TH HEAVEN II (470) UMBRELLA MAN 5600 1 1 0 4 BEACH BABES (309) -HOT STUFF 5568 0 2 0 2 THE BEARS II (510) MY BIG TOE 5601 0 1 0 1 WASTELAND II (267) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

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.

Asmo Dius, TCB 16 January 2004 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. F E A R C H A O S I N C.
