KOLACT needs a spyreport." Oh, well. Like, PRAETORIAN GUARD had to be so embarrassed when they got kicked off #1 spot by TOWNSVILLAINS! Way to go TOWNSVILLAINS! I don't wanna hurt anybody's feelings or anything, but MEGAWARRIORS really goofed with their 2-3-0. THOROUGHBREDS like really fought hard to move up to 4th from 12th. Way to go! One team deserves special mention 'cause they moved up 3 after going 4-1-0. Keep it up, SIR AGLIO! MVP award for NEVENGAR? MEGAWARRIORS' proud of him after beating SIR PRISE and getting 27 points. Talk about yer major upsets! SIR PRISE's match with NEVENGAR cost him a loss of 21 points! LENNY BAXTER thinks his 13-12-0 and studly character is good enough to face up to the Duelmaster. Any bets? This Duelmaster is like something else! SHYLAYLA MINOR stopped LENNY BAXTER dead in his tracks! Who was the wiseguy that said KOLACT's Duelmaster was paying for drinks at Don Corleone's? Don't look at me! So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway? It can't be for these really neat Spyreports can it? DEVIL'S ADVOCATE was the most avoided team. Is a 14-7-2 record really that scary? Hhmph! What kind of warriors are QUBIT? DEVIL'S ADVOCATE, an easy team to beat if I ever saw one, can't get them to accept an invitation! Can THE MOONDOGS' TYCHO be more popular than me? He was challenged the most, but is that really the same? Speaking of challenging 26 points above did you hear about BLOODY MARY of BLOODSHED vs. SIR AGLIO's SIR OCCO? (And how was that intro!) SIR OCCO beat BLOODY MARY, and was I surprised (right!). But its a good thing SIR OCCO could stop laughing long enough to give BLOODY MARY a good pounding. For sure, I was holding my breath when I found out POINT GIVEN challenged CLEO. After all, haven't THOROUGHBREDS and THE MOONDOGS had a long standing duel in KOLACT? It wasn't a spectacular fight, or anything, but CLEO wants me to write about it since she was subdued by POINT GIVEN. Satisfied? Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All KOLACT ever talks about is fighting! Me, I'm more laid back. What a bummer! STREPTO got wasted by PAPPY WHAPPY! But with a 5-5-0, I guess INFECTIOUS aren't too bummed. Hey you guys, don't you think your families would like to hear from you? Write! (Or have someone write for you.) I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be a famous Spyreporter? I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it quits. Its been really albendranius!

And as the old saying goes..."no one teaches like Mother Nature". Annnd as it seems to be these dogs nature's to lose, we're doing a little pruning a'la na-tur-al. I mean, s'like I can really remember the last time I was contented with all five stable members, stead'n bouncing around like a duckie in the wash cycle. But we'll stay the fairway. All I ask are greatly numbered fighters I can ill-manage into notorious careers. Like always. C'monnnnnn RUGs! -- Still Octavian -- What WAS your reasoning behind (DOWN) challenging a new (and struggling) managers 0-3 warrior last turn? Was it: A) trying to puff out that inflatable chest and get a quick win? B) You were told by your manager that an appointment would be made for you in the DA if you lost again? C) You are trying to run off the new managers as soon as you can, because they cause you so much stress and it's hard to get your game on when they are around? or D) You can only punk out the new warriors from new stables? -- Matrix Jinx -- So sorry to hear about Sharp (saw the tourney newsletter online). I know that one hurt more than others. -- Matrix Sultan -- The guys were just razing you on the Quada Al thing. I talked to them, they said they would tone it down. -- Matrix Cheeto -- Better luck this turn. Maybe Octavian will leave your warriors be for a turn. -- Matrix Tycho -- I'll find my own woman, thank you! And if you think coarse, crude, and common don't have a place in Kolact, remember, at least my challenge to you was an UP challenge. -- Vulgar Zeus -- I thought that name was familiar. -- Matrix (Megawarriors) Welcome back indeed! Feelgood -- Did you have a good FTF? -- Matrix Sultan -- No...at least I don't think so. If it was then your memory is far better than mine! I don't think I used a Mgr. identity back then. Just started back going by Matrix. Humm...if you have records that far back, I have some questions for you. But if you do, I can't imagine what your garage looks like! -- Matrix Gogo Patrol -- I urge you to gogo somewhere else. -- Cleo Repent -- Why would I want to do that? I haven't done anything (except become a gladiator) that I wouldn't do again. -- Tycho Deemonica -- Don't let the trainers feed you that "you have a fearsome name, therefore you are fearsome" crap. It ain't necessarily so. -- Bailey O'Bead The Upright Man -- Okay, but it would be more impressive if you were taller. -- Lunelle Quadriceps -- Uh...I don't think you got past the triceps on that one, maybe not even the biceps. Good thing you weren't going for quinqueceps. -- Trojan Roc Vulgar -- (shrug) It isn't like I've never had days like that myself. -- Tycho Sultan -- Oh, congratulate ME, please! No one else is likely to. -- Lord Protector Kepler GC -- There sure seems to be a lot of hustle and bustle in Kolact these days. Any way the keeper of lists could provide us the manager names once again? -- Sultan Here's what I have at the moment. These are teams listed in last turn's newsletter.

Best of luck. -- Sir Pent Matrix -- Wow! A lunger so old his favorite is the scimitar! Odd, though, that it said Casimir could only use the weapon in a marginally effective fashion. Any thoughts? -- Sultan/Sir Pent Deemonica and the rest of the Megawarriors -- You hate my name?!? Why? Oh..., I see. You think I'm somehow different than the other paper warriors. I suppose you also think my manager wears a turban. Well, he doesn't. And no, I don't think I'll be rewarded with virgins if I die for some worthless cause. Actually, my manager thought my name was apropos for my stable and somewhat clever, too. Best of luck in, in...eliminating me, if that's your goal. -- Qaeda, Al P.S. I see I stirred you up. THAT was my manager's sole purpose. The Unknown LU -- There's that darn old style advantage thing at work. Obviously, my number of fights advantage was too much to overcome at this time. I'm sure you'll get there, though. -- Sir Occo Laceratin' Larry -- Before either one of us go screaming up the ranks, thought I'd throw you a challenge to settle the question: who is worse? -- Quadriceps, but not too brite 10 January 2004 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.

Box 339 #924385 Sparta, GA 31087-0339 By snail mail or diplo through RSI. Bloody Sands! Asmo Dius, TCB 16 January 2004 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. F E A R C H A O S I N C.
