                                      SPY REPORT

     Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in KOLACT this turn, and let's start 
with a look at some of the teams.  It seems the training can make the difference, as 
DEVIL'S ADVOCATE is pushed out of top team by PRAETORIAN GUARD, who came from 12th 
with a 5-0-0 this turn.  Now, what did these guys have for breakfast this morning?  
PRAETORIAN GUARD has turned a 5-0-0 into 1st place from 12th.  Give me the recipe!  
The QUBIT guild has had a 3-1-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future.  You 
never know where this kind of thing can lead.  And let's see, LENNY BAXTER fought 
AERYN SUN and gained 28 points and contributed to TOWNSVILLAINS' 4-1-0.  AERYN SUN 
has lost to LENNY BAXTER, falling 47 points, while helping make FARSCAPE a 0-1-0 
turn.  SHYLAYLA MINOR challenged for the Duelmastership this turn, attempting to 
dethrone THE MENTORS' TOY BOX's warrior.  And not without some honor, SHYLAYLA MINOR 
now claims the title and throne of Duelmaster of KOLACT.  Tell me, is nothing sacred? 
I have heard from unimpeachable sources that Don Corleone's uses trolls in their 
stew.  Talk about gristle!   
     Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' 
Inscrutable, but true.  DEVIL'S ADVOCATE has cause to stand tall, as they were 
KOLACT's most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team to beat.  And 
avoiding DEVIL'S ADVOCATE more than any other team we find BLOODSHED.  KOLACT, are we 
going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?  Well, sports fans, take notice that 
TYCHO from THE MOONDOGS was KOLACT's most challenged warrior this turn.  Tsk, tsk, 
tsk.  OCTAVIAN, does your manager know you're challenging down 21 points to fight 
DOGMA from BLOODSHED?  We're not surprised to hear that OCTAVIAN bested DOGMA, but I 
bet it would be interesting to hear why PRAETORIAN GUARD made such a challenge.   
     A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once.  Wise men know this to 
be true.  A farewell moment, if you please, OBELISK of TERRAPIN STATION has been sent 
to the Dark Arena, and was carried out on its shield.  Don Corleone's declares a free 
round for SHARP and all of WAR HAWKS, for having revenged MEGAWARRIORS' DIE NASTY for 
killing one of their comrades.  A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has 
nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over.  Consider well.   
     Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the 
sweetest.  Always good to rest in KOLACT, but never good to wear out my welcome.  
Look for me in future turns.  Until you see my quill in KOLACT again, farewell--

Sultan of Swing -- Thanks for the skills.  I've been long overdue for that rating. --
Dust Devil

Dogma -- I don't quite understand the challenge.  You must have thought that I was
easy prey, according to last turn.  Either way I appreciate the attention.  I'm sure
our swords will cross again! -- Riverwind

All -- Sultan, thanks for the welcome back...again!  It's good to come back 10 years
later and still see familiar faces!  Sir Aglio, Terrapin Station, The Mentors, Mega
Warriors and anyone else I failed to mention.  It's been a rough last couple of turns
for us here in the Thunderstrikers stable.  If I can get the guys to hold their
weapons properly and use them effectively I just may be able to pull them out of
their slump.  I look forward to seeing all of you out on the sands.  To the ones I've
met there before, it will be like the good ole days! -- Zeus, mgr. of Thunderstrikers

Die Nasty -- Death happens.  Some just hurt more than others. -- Jinx

Strap-On -- Even with the loss, a title fight means the old-mazoom flows into the
stable's coffers.  Shekels to burn.  Plus, no one faults an overly aggressive
duelmistress, Duelmistress. -- Vapid Vanna

Dr. Feelgood -- Sa-cra-fice-n' Dr. Jek-yl to the Dark A-re-na.  you know, I always
liked that guy, what's become of the old boy?  Him being a Kolact alumnus, and all.
-- Still

Sir Occo -- Vanna egged me into that one.  Somethin 'bout rude, discourteous
nobility.  Mean'n you.  But then, between us, some of her perceived slights can be...
well, piddlingly slight. -- Gracie
P.S.  Nice stable work revengin them three-alarm funerals.
P.P.S.  Three-alarm funeral--that's the one where the casket fell off the barge, and
if the fellow inside hadn't been a good swimmer....

All -- Luck n' Skill to every manager who publishes graduating stats. -- Still, the
Distiller

Craver -- Well done! -- Kepler
P.S.  My mind was on my travel arrangements rather than the fight.  Sorry about that.

Vulgar -- You were, indeed, coarse, crude, and common.  What you really need is a
good woman to take you in hand and give you a bit of polish.  But I don't know any
with the necessary martyr complex, so you'll have to find your own. -- Tycho

Dogma -- Do you chase cat-echisms? -- Lunelle

Sir Ingomyelic -- Lots and lots of lotion, that's what I need.... -- Cleo

Redoubtable Robin -- Does that mean that people doubt you once, and then, after a
closer look, doubt you some more? -- Bailey O'Bead

Sir Pent -- This isn't over. -- Matrix

Sir Pent -- OK...you're faster that me.  So what? -- Die Nasty

Venus -- Tooshey. -- Casimir

For those who care to take notice....  Casimir's stats....10(1)-18(1)-10-10(1)-11(2)-
14(1)-17 LU, SC (never once used til this turn), LO/M. -- Matrix

Goodbye and best of battle, dear Kolact!  Wish me luck, as a higher calling has
arrived! -- Casimir

Obelisk -- Good challenge on paper, huh?  Hey!  Thanks for the knowledge! -- Nevengar

Beware Kolact!!!  Chaos is coming....

Alqaeda -- Your name dictated the second challenge.  Sorry...I hate you! -- Deemonica
(and the rest of the Megawarrior stable) BAD name

Tycho -- Bravo!  I kinda sucked, huh? -- Vulgar

Matrix -- Very sorry 'bout that.  But didn't it used to be Whisper years ago, or are
my records that poor?  BTW, Die Nasty is another great name. -- Sultan

Floyd -- I guess I have no one in my stable here that can beat ANY of your warriors.
I think it's just a jinx you have over me. -- Sultan

Gracie -- Third time's a charm.  Well done. -- Sir Occo

Repent -- No remorse here.  Somebody had to step up to the plate and give you a loss
sooner or later. -- Quietus

Bloodshed -- Belated welcome to Kolact.  What may we call you, other than newbie? --
Sultan, mgr. of Sir Aglio and Qubit

Casimir -- Not really.  The real surprise is when I accidentally win a fight.  And
that, of course, is the only way I CAN win since planning a victory has proven to be
totally impossible. -- Sir Prise

Gracie -- You're too kind.  I'm sure that victory was just a fluke.  But if we meet
again, I hope you'll be again as generous with the skills no matter the fight
outcome.  Deal? -- Quietus

Cleo -- Loved your p-ad!  It was an obvious line, but so many are AFTER you first
hear 'em. -- Sir Pent

Still -- Max-host of cheapskates?!?  What in the world...? -- Sultan, scratching his
bald head

Kepler -- Congrats on graduating, or should we be congratulating your manager in
light of your stats! -- Sultan

Casimir -- Gonna run in ADM?  Best of luck either way. -- Sultan

Ojo Tango -- Hmm...I don't know whether to smack you around some, or to congratulate
you.  Dust Devil was the last of the original Thunderstrikers, whose first fight was
turn 150.  He was loyal to us, so loyal, that when we sent him to meet with the
Shewish Giant, he came walking back all grins, no questions asked, just calmly wiping
off his blade.  We decided to keep him around, kind of like a mascot.  Either way,
the ball has been set in motion...let the bloodfeuding begin! -- Zeus, mgr. of
Thunderstrikers

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.
