SPY REPORT
I can't believe the violence in RIZTAB! I still haven't told Mom I'm writing
Spyreports. She'd have a cow! Well, here we go... Like, TEAM GNASTY had to be so
embarrassed when they got kicked off #1 spot by HIGH JINKS! Way to go HIGH JINKS!
Uncool, HELL-MART. I mean 0-0-0 is bad. Will they will be allowed to fight? I say
use 'em for training practice! The guys at THE LAWMEN like really pulled together to
get a 3-2-0 this turn, moving up by 6. One team deserves special mention 'cause they
moved up 0 after going 5-0-1. Keep it up, ARENA FELINES! MVP award for JUDGE
PARKER? THE LAWMEN's proud of him after beating CHAINSAW VIGILANTE and getting 29
points. Talk about yer major upsets! CHAINSAW VIGILANTE's match with JUDGE PARKER
cost him a loss of 25 points! Like, JOSTLING JAGUAR must be pretty gutsy! He
challenged the Duelmaster from THE CITY. Does this guy have a death wish or what!
And I was just getting used to the ex-Duelmaster's habit of...(!) Oh well, welcome
JOSTLING JAGUAR. Aren't ARENA FELINES proud. (Oh, my.) Is the Duelmaster really
being a real snob to his teammates? Don't ask me!
AAARRGH!!! I HATE SPYREPORTING!!! Sorry. I just had to say it. TEAM GNASTY
was RIZTAB's most avoided team. Is there some award for that? Is there some deep
dark secret why DARKMOON's been avoiding TEAM GNASTY so much? Or is it just that
they're too scared? Like, is STANK SHANK popular, or what? He was challenged the
most in all of RIZTAB! He's got a 8-5-0, is that good? People were asking me did
BATAAKAPPU REALLY challenge RIFT? (all right, maybe they didn't, but it sounded
good!) It wasn't a spectacular fight, or anything, but RIFT wants me to write about
it since he won victory over BATAAKAPPU. Satisfied?
Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All RIZTAB ever talks about is fighting! Me,
I'm more laid back. How cruel! DREAMERS heartlessly sent his to SOMNUS certain fate
in the Dark Arena. Is a 16-24-1 bad or something? Pinch me, I must be dreaming!!!
PHANTAST returns from the Dark Arena, maybe a "little upset" at his DREAMERS
teammates... Hey! Quit laughing! Just because DROMMARE had 17-16-2 was no reason
for DREAMERS to send him to the Dark Arena! Stop it! I hear DREAMERS sent SONADOR
to the Dark Arena. What, is that like not well-lit, or what? What a bummer! JULIE
BEAN got wasted by WAX HOSTILE! But with a 7-6-0, I guess POWERPUFF GIRLS aren't too
bummed. It was kind of sad, seeing old BILL TILGHMAN stumbling around the arena,
before DASTARDLY DAN finished him off. Oh well! What a bunch of heartless! I
couldn't believe how many people were snickering when CAT TAGIOUS killed POT BELLY.
So he had a 5-8-1, that's no excuse! Fight, fight, fight. Is that all you guys can
do?
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous Spyreporter? I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really
should stop. Its been really albendranius! Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

Dastardly -- You are correct about that fight. I thought The Gnoll a goner.
Sometimes being too stupid to know when you've lost is an asset. -- Dungeonmaster
The Pirate wouldn't learn, barely won and his attitude was horrible. He would only
occasionally lunge. I'd say I was sorry to see him go, but I try to remain honest.
The elf had better take note of this example. -- Dungeonmaster
Blood Bud -- You sucked all those learns right outa me! -- Rift
P.S. Thanks for giving me at least one in return!
Dungeonmaster -- So sorry 'bout' Lifetaker. The name alone got my adrenaline going.
-- Rift
Dirty Sanchez -- Good fight...don't go away. -- B.
Briarthorn -- As first time meetings go, I've met worse...can't right off recall
when, but I'm for sure it's happened. -- Dan
All -- Yes, I am the nice one. Fragile fighters make my teeth hurt, but back-fire'n
time ain't yet at hand. -- Jondeaux
Tonya -- You do credit to the memory of Valtor. You have bested two of my three most
experienced warriors. If you beat my last, I will believe that Valtor died
honorably. -- Draco Magnus, Manager of Dragon Riders
Twiggy -- Yeah, well, no wonder you're mean. You're too skinny to be anything BUT
mean. -- Noreen
Bat Manual -- Do you include instructions for hanging upside down from the roofs of
caves? -- Tillouisa

DEATH FEST
The ferocious ghosts of former glories whispered across the wind swept sands of
DM 59; agonizing incessantly due to the diminutive demise of the Delarq arena known
as Illis.
Tattered banners and forgotten memories wailed in the wind for a dynamic death
march to dawn once more upon the blood stained sands of the Delarq slow arena.
The distant call crying for a declaration of restoration amidst the ruin of the
all but forgotten Delarq arena carried to the far corners of Alastari; drawing the
Devious, the Diabolical, the Dangerous and the Down Challenging to cross blades and
wage warfare among an assemblage of new stables managed by the Known and Unknown;
willing to spill fresh blood, while carving their destiny during 15 Rounds of contest
driven combat to be known as the "Illis Incredibly Diabolical Delarq Death Fest".
A lone cloaked figure huddled by lamplight in a remote outpost near the
crossroads of ElseWhere and ElseWhen; feverishly formulating the foundational
framework for the dawning of the Delarq Death Fest in DM 59, complete with
Gladiatorial Commission sanctioned prizes to promote the growing thirst for a Delarq
Slow Arena Death Festival.
Delarq Death Fest Opening Round debuts the first turn immediately following the
Summer 2004 F2F Tourney and continues through the completion of 15 consecutive
rounds.
Death Fest points are Won or Lost ONLY in the DM 59 Delarq Slow Arena [Tourneys
DO NOT Add or Subtract from the Death Fest Point Scoring System]:
Death Fest Scoring Format:
Win =3D +2 pts
Loss =3D -1 pt
Kill =3D +5 pts [in addition to +2 pts for Win]
Death =3D -3 pts [in addition to 1 pt for Loss]
Dark Arena Kill =3D +10 pts [in addition to +2 pts for Win]
Dark Arena Death =3D -5 pts [in addition to 1 pt for Loss]
Revenged Blood Feud =3D +5 pts [successful Revenged Blood Feud provides Death Fest
contestants the opportunity to cancel out 3 pts for Death and 1 pt for Loss; while
gaining +1 pt overall for the Revenged Blood Feud in addition to the +2 pts for Win]
DEATH FEST PRIZES will be awarded to the Top Ten Death Fest Stables on the basis
of Total Points*** accumulated during the 15 rounds of competition as follows:
1. Favorite Weapon Knowledge for 1 (one) warrior ranked Initiate or higher on the
Final Round to be revealed by RSI to each of the Top Ten Death Fest Stables
2. Renaming of Dark Arena Monsters and NPCs [yet to be determined according to how
many DA Monsters and NPCs are available in DM 59 for Renaming]
3. The Top Five Death Fest Stables will receive New Team Rollup Certificates as
follows: 1st (10), 2nd (8), 3rd (6), 4th (4) and 5th (2)
4. Renaming Illis Arena for 6 months plus Receiving 6 months Free Play courtesy of
RSI will be awarded to the manager of the 1st Place Death Fest Stable
5. Discussions are underway regarding a possible Special Award granted to the Illis
Iron Stable qualifiers who compete in 67 of a possible 75 fights during the course of
the 15 consecutive rounds of the Death Fest [Key Factor is How Many (?) stables will
be competing in the Death Fest without drawing away participation by current managers
in the remaining slow arenas!] Therefore, it is important for all managers entering
stables in DM 59 for the upcoming Death Fest to contact RSI as soon as possible
regarding their participation in this contest so that a Final Ruling on the proposed
Illis Iron Stable Award can be issued by RSI.
***TieBreaker is determined on the Final Round by the DM 59 Newsletter Recognition
Rankings. The stable with the Highest Ranked Active Gladiator is granted the
decision. [Example: Warrior A and Warrior B are both listed in the Recognition
Rankings with 87 pts; however, because Warrior A is listed in the Recognition
Rankings ahead of Warrior B, then Warrior A is granted the TieBreaker Decision for
His/Her stable!]
Opening Round Team Spotlight Bonus [minimum 15 paragraphs!] Each Delarq Death
Fest competitor who writes a Team Spotlight featuring their Stable (Name) and
Managerial Alias [Gladiatorial Names Optional] in regards to competing in the Delarq
Death Fest will receive 25 pts added to His/Her opening round score.
Illis Iron Stable Bonus [in addition to the proposed award awaiting RSI
approval!] Any manager whose stable competes in at least 67 of the possible 75
fights during the 15 rounds of Death Fest receives 25 points added to His/Her final
overall score [this allows each stable the cushion of missing one round of
competition; plus up to 3 additional fights due to waiting for replacement rollups
from Deaths suffered either in Tourneys or during the Death Fest contest in DM 59
over the course of 15 rounds of competition!]

TEN TURNS OF HELL:
The KLK Capture The Flag Competition
In the spirit of the ongoing effort to make arena play what it used to be (FUN!!), I
am proud to announce the KLK Capture The Flag Competition. The competition will be
held in Jhans (DM-36, which has, by the way, grown in size equal to Talcama already).
:) We are announcing this contest early to allow managers time to prep.
Rules:
-- On turn 462 (due 8/4/04) the lowest ranked warrior on your team is given your
team's 'flag' (he is your initial flag defender).
-- Starting on turn 463 (due 8/18/04) flags will be defended every turn and turn
463 is the turn scoring will begin.
-- Fights involving flags are winners-take-all and a warrior can carry as many
flags as he can win.
-- If a warrior holding a flag either A) goes inactive, B) loses to a stand-by
warrior or C) gets DA'd, he forfeits all flags he has and they are returned the their
original team's lowest ranked warrior.
-- If you hold your own flag on an inactive warrior you receive NO POINTS that
turn.
-- If a warrior graduates to AD holding flags starting on the next turn those
flags will be defended by the lowest ranked warrior on the team of the graduating
warrior.
-- Scoring as follows for each turn:
2 pts -- possession of your own team flag
1 pt -- possession any other flag
1 pt -- for each win
1 pt -- for each kill
1 pt -- for each award you receive in the newsletter
-- You may enter as many teams as you like (per RSI rules) but each team is its
own entry.
-- Tie-Breaker goes to the team that had the most points from flags.
-- If still tied the tie-breaker will be the team that had the most points from
kills. (It's the Delarq way.)
-- The contest lasts 10 turns and there will be prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd
(based on highest point totals)
Prizes: (what you've been waiting on)
1st -- 3 know favorites potions*
DA warrior named after winning manager
2nd -- 2 know favorites potions*
3rd -- 1 know favorites potion*
* These are full favorite potions (weapon, rhythms and tactics) and can only be used
on warriors with at least 4 FE.
How's that for paying out? (grin) Even if you think that it's all about the TC,
these prizes should be enough to draw you in. (You know who you are.)
I hope to see friend and foe alike come to Jhans. Legion, Froths, and all the
others...this is your personal invite. Can you win? Can you survive 10 turns of
Hell in Jhans?
Note: Special thanks to RSI for helping make this contest possible. Thanks
guys!
