SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, ARKERS? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Later days, SMITHSONIAN, since GIT'EM
SICK took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. If this keeps up,
OTHERWOOD, you'll have to shine swords instead of use them. A drop of 6 in the
rankings? THE CHOSEN turned their 3-2-0 turn into a 8th place rank in the listings
this turn. Any better than this, and you get put on hit lists. Of course, we're all
terribly impressed to see ZEPHYR win a fight and gain 21 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk,
VAMPYRILLA beat HAL THE CRAZED and HAL THE CRAZED lost 18 points. You're breakin' my
heart. GUTSAG BAKWORT challenged THE BEGGAR for ARKERS' Title this turn, and guess
what happened? And if variety is the spice of life, ARKERS may be getting bland, as
GUTSAG BAKWORT stays top dog in the city. The Warty Toad, humph! I've tasted better
ale at mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From ARKERS' trash dumps?
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys. THE
CHOSEN, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were this turn's most avoided team.
Care to know who is the most afraid of you? And who led the way in this mass act of
cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was SMITHSONIAN. Ha ha ha ha! SCRAP
METAL was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the DM
insulted or feared? Heh, heh. I guess I can give a little credit to ALBUS
BONERATTLER of THE CHOSEN for challenging up by 19 to SCRAP METAL. ALBUS BONERATTLER
won to get 30 points of recognition.
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for ARKERS'
morgue. More variety. I could say I saw this coming, but so could anyone else.
Anyway, this turn it came. MAUD STONEGUT's 14-15-2 has earned her the Dark Arena.
And what a stunning loss we have here, boys and girls, SMI CHU of TAC has added the
final loss to his 5-5-1. Tee hee! Seriously now, is it really honorable for KYRON
FLEMING from BORN LOSERS to kill SMI CHU and give TAC the chance to bloodfeud? Mmmm,
could be. We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if the fate catches up
with you sooner that later?
What does the ARKERS arena have in common with the inns? It's just as
comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Well, I've had enough of this
drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. Paste
this one in your scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide
Clemens

* * * * * MEMO * * * * *
From: The Office of Accurate Census Reporting, Gladiatorial Commission
To: All Managers
In the interest of preserving our natural resources and preventing managerial writer's
cramp, the census form has been eliminated, effective immediately. Managers may
register their warriors' races and/or favorite sayings by simply writing them on a
separate piece of paper and submitting them to the Commission. Each warrior may have
up to 15 favorite sayings. Each saying must be categorized Jeer, Gloat, Boredom, Ouch,
Victory and may be up to 70 characters long. For any questions, please contact the
Gladiatorial Commission.
TEAM AND CHARACTER MAINTENANCE SERVICE
As a service to all managers, we offer team and character maintenance. This
option allows you to make sure your team or selected warriors will never miss a turn!
Team Maintenance: This will cause all warriors on that team to fight every
turn; if it's an AD arena, any new warriors who arrive on that team will
fight the turn they arrive. In A.D. or in transfer arenas where you have
multiple teams, each team will need to separately be on Team Maintenance.
(The only exception is new warriors; they will not fight until they have had
their initial strategy input.)
Character Maintenance: This will cause only that warrior to fight every
turn. If the character graduates or changes arenas, he/she/it will stay on
Character Maintenance.
In either case, you may submit strategy sheets for your warriors each turn, if
you wish. The Team/Character Maintenance will make sure your warriors fight each
turn, and they will always use their most recently entered strategy.
Remember that challenges, avoids, and challenge/if challenged strategies will not
carry through from turn to turn. These sections are only used on the turn they are
entered. In order to continually challenge or avoid you will need to submit a
strategy sheet each time.
One other thing to remember about maintenance: Maintenance is not something
that you write on your turnsheet (like in demo tourneys). In order to add or remove
maintenance for a team or warrior, you must send a note to Customer Service. If you
just write things like this on your strategy sheet, they may or may not get done.
Likewise, don't write it on your personal ads. Please, please, please put it on a
separate piece of paper with "Customer Service" written on the top. If you don't,
well, you can imagine.
Thanks for your time. Good luck in Duelmasters! -- Green Eyes
