SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of BONSUR! 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.--

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.
