                                      SPY REPORT

     Oh, hi.  Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte.  Thought I'd check out RIZTAB to see 
what's new.  The guys at HIGH JINKS like really pulled together to get a 4-1-0 this 
turn, moving up by 4.  MVP award for TILLOUISA?  SWEET MAGIC's proud of her after 
beating FLADRAKEEN OOSCH and getting 24 points.  Talk about yer big time losers!  
SHADOW-BOX got smashed by MERINDA, and lost 14 points!  The Duelmaster isn't going to 
stop just cause he's Number One!  SPYMASTER TORRIC knows this.  He was Dark Arena 
Challenged by the Duelmaster.  This Duelmaster is like something else!  SNAGGLE PUSS 
stopped SPYMASTER TORRIC dead in his tracks!  I hear the top team insists all their 
warriors get nine hours sleep.  They want photogenic fighters for PR photos.   
     Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right?  ARENA FELINES was the most avoided 
team.  Is a 620-458-60 record really that scary?  Is there some deep dark secret why 
HELL-MART's been avoiding ARENA FELINES so much?  Or is it just that they're too 
scared?  Can SPIRITUAL GIFT's RIFT be more popular than me?  He was challenged the 
most, but is that really the same?  PIZZARRHEA is being unfair.  It's challenged down 
20 against SHORTHAIREDLONGTERM.  I don't know why they let this stuff go on.  (I'd 
better shut up) SHORTHAIREDLONGTERM is a real man!  He was challenged by PIZZARRHEA, 
20 points above, and BEAT it!  Dark Arena, anyone?  GRAYOLA 64-PACK must not be a 
good enough fighter to get in fair fights.  It TV challenged NOREEN.  9 is a big 
difference.  (Well, that's what they tell me.) I thought GRAYOLA 64-PACK showed great 
skill and promise when it overcame NOREEN.  All right, so I slept through it!  Big 
deal!   
     What does a fighter fight for?  I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone 
gets killed.  Not after four more fights.  Like, who is this guy???  SNAGGLE PUSS 
gets sent to the Dark Arena, battles SPYMASTER TORRIC, and returns to tell of it!!!  
I bet ARENA FELINES manager is surprised!  What a bunch of heartless!  I couldn't 
believe how many people were snickering when DROMMARE killed BELLOTA.  So she had a 
5-4-0, that's no excuse!  Like was that some Bloodfeud, or what?  (DASTARDLY DAN vs. 
CAT TAGIOUS, that is.) 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 gotta leave.  RIZTAB is like such a dump, and you guys smell 
too much!  Its been really albendranius!  Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

Nanette & Sweet Magic Management -- Don't sweat it.  That Warrior was as chump-ass as
21 wit strikers come.  They don't make 'em much chump-assier.  Unfortunately the
chaos for cash rate is extremely poor right now, so you'll escape the wrath of That
Guy, who really wanted to tear you a new, you know.  May your dreams be filled with
horrible nightmares of your own death, and have a nice day! -- Nuln, mgr. of That
Team

All -- *Oooff*  Beware what you wish for.  The guildhouse has been deluged by BIG
women seeking employment.  And it's hard explaining to them why they aren't "big".

It's not a size thing (well, up to a point, size 4 manageress?  Ugh!) so much as it's
an internal thing certain fighters have.  She'll come and while she might or might
not be BIG, she'll be "big". -- Jondeaux

Dolly -- Let's put this straight, my popularity was so much more greatly reduced than
yours.  I started out higher, 2 hangers-on and a almost groupie.  *shhhhhh-oot*  The
team left a wash-tub n' brush out fer me.  Said I carried a stink that needed
scrubbin off. <grin> -- Dan, theeeeee Win-nah!!!

Garfield -- Thanks n' back at you.  The Mill, ripper...oh well, plenty more where she
came from.  *Favor* in my star-crossed wanderings, I've developed a particular quirk.
A real disliking for scum.  Simply cannot abide them.  Please pass the word. --
Jondeaux
P.S.  Not all that crazy about regular TPs, either.  Although, during my travails
I've encountered some of the little squirt variety which've been...interesting.  Last
adversary gottem-self an ex-rp, first time out.  Couldn't hit the arena walls in 2
tries, buuuutttt....

Reveur -- We'll call that strategy "wax and wane"..."wail n' wain"  Wish me luck on
my raise. -- Wax Hostile

Tom Smith -- That wasn't very NICE of you.  Do you want it to stay winter all the
time? -- Song of Summer

Cat Man Don't -- You don't listen to your own advice, either, do you? -- Noreen

Cat Man Do -- Do it to somebody else! -- Merinda

Snaggle Puss -- Should I be honored by the title match, or embarrassed that you had
it so easy? -- Tillouisa
P.S.  Good luck to you.

Somnus -- (sigh)  Me for a nap, I think. -- Nanette
P.S.  Too bad the Infirmarian didn't send me for several days bed rest, isn't it?
That'd've fit right in.

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.
