SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt ZUKAL will ever be the same. It seems the training can make the difference,
as BLUE MOON is pushed out of top team by ARENA FELINES, who came from 2nd with a
3-0-1 this turn. And let's see, ROOT fought EMBEZZLING SCRIBE and gained 19 points
and contributed to FANGS' 3-2-0. CROWN has lost to T. BONE, falling 12 points, while
helping make FANGS a 3-2-0 turn. The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have
failed, and TOP CAT remains ZUKAL's top warrior for another turn. Can someone
confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at
The Blue Boar Inn until they win. Maybe?
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one. The most challenged warrior this turn
was FANGS' warrior DENTINE. More fighters challenged him than challenged the
Duelmaster!
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? BLUE MOON has lost BLUE SUEDE to the arena in the sky, but they
don't seem to be worried. What do you expect from 12-9-0? 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.
I like this place, ZUKAL, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.
Who could ask for more? Well, I'm burning daylight here in ZUKAL and I've a long
road ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper--

Amendment for "Fratsfa's 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
