Notes from the arena champ.
Alex Griffin, being a mythical (which means "Not Real") animal, never stood a
chance against me. Mammals are okay, but Ducks are better.

SPY REPORT
Hail ZUKAL! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your
deeds. It seems the training can make the difference, as DREAM PARK is pushed out of
top team by BLUE MOON, who came from 3rd with a 3-2-0 this turn. And let's see,
AGORAPHOBIA fought RICKY PAULDING and gained 21 points and contributed to DSM4's
2-0-0. ALEX GRIFFIN has lost to ANXIETY, falling 15 points, while helping make DREAM
PARK a 1-3-0 turn. The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and BLUE
GOOSE remains ZUKAL's top warrior for another turn. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I
have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Blue Boar Inn uses trolls in their
stew. Talk about gristle!
The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more
could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that. I also notice that the DREAM PARK
stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on ZUKAL, what are you afraid of?
And guess who avoided DREAM PARK stable the most? Believe it or not, it was GARDEN
OF EVIL. Anyone surprised? The most challenged warrior this turn was BLUE MOON's
warrior MORENCI. More fighters challenged her than challenged the Duelmaster! Well
now, what do you expect when someone like ARTICHOKE AVENGER from GARDEN OF EVIL
challenges down 18 points to fight MORENCI of BLUE MOON? It pains me to see warriors
take advantage of the system like this. ARTICHOKE AVENGER beat MORENCI, as if it
surprises anyone.
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. We'd like to remind certain teams
not to rob the graves of their enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered
rude.
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your swords
sharp and your hammers heavy. Until you see my quill in ZUKAL again, farewell--
Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
J. Thunder -- We've got all kinds of sand for your consideration. White sand, tan
sand, black sand (volcanic), black sand (magnetic), green sand (not sand at all,
apparently), stinky sand (oh, wait, that was the cat litter...), lots of stuff.
Glad to have you back. -- Jorja
Cleopatra Schwartz -- Why didn't you WARN me--no, I know why YOU didn't warn me. Why
didn't one of my TEAMMATES warn me that you were teetotal? I never had a chance. --
Blue Ruin
Green Machine -- Hey, you CRACKED me! Or at least a chip. That wasn't NICE of you.
-- Morenci
P.S. Maybe I can try for the "longest losing streak" stakes?
Mordant Deserter? Sheesh. -- Bisbee
Scribes should not be allowed to embezzle. It gives them over-large ideas, and they
can barely handle very small ideas. That's why they get caught. -- The Prussian

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.
