SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last
week's fights. We now have a new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on.
SACRILEGIOUS MEAT now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep it. Hey
everybody, watch out for MAN O' WAR, who flew up 20 points in the rankings after
mashing BLACKLOCK like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it
doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. BLACKLOCK lost to MAN O' WAR and drops 12
points. Our battling duelmaster BURGATORY has managed to hold the title, fending off
NEIGH!'s none too subtle advances. Better luck next time, TRIPLE CROWN. 4 out of 5
gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at that location.
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the MALCORN arena. Did you
hear that SACRILEGIOUS MEAT was most avoided team this week? Well, knowing the
personal hygiene of SACRILEGIOUS MEAT's warriors, I'm not surprised! Okay, so I may
not be funny, but catch POLITICALY INCORRECT's act in the arena. Those acrobats seem
to be fairly deft at running from SACRILEGIOUS MEAT. Well just about everybody wants
a piece of WOODWALKER, who was this week's most challenged warrior. In a touching
display by a 'touched' warrior, RUTHLESS went after WOODWALKER, who was higher by 24
points. Well, when the dust settled, RUTHLESS beat WOODWALKER.
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! Remember: alliances are great, but try and take your ally
in the arena with you and see what happens.
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian,
but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. Its been fun, and I'm sure you
enjoyed it (boos). Now that I've got you worked up for Snide Clemens, I'll be
leaving-- The Unknown Spymaster

A Convicted Assassin HERE? I thought they were Andorian. Of course, he could be an
export. -- Blacklock
Neigh! -- What a brazen-throated trumpet you are when it comes time to announce your
victory! I'm deafened. -- Stormcloud
Too bad I wasn't studying Kung Fu, because the Master of same had little to teach me
that will be of use in the arena. Tedious, that. -- Birdsong
Ruthless -- No doubt about that. Only my excessive experience allowed me to overcome
you. Whew, good thing, too. No telling what you might've done if you'd won. --
Woodwalker
Tripe -- Fairly gross, if you ask me. -- Stalking Horse

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.

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.

All -- I send out this invitation to all teams and managers. A new Alliance has been
formed. The Living Essences Alliance is being formed to join forces in an effort to
eliminate common foes and to help the joined warriors grow and learn to the best of
their abilities by offering suggestions and advice. It doesn't matter what arena
you're in, or if you're in another alliance already, as of today. This Alliance is
open to one and all! If you are interested in joining, please DIPLO me, or send a
personal ad to DM 93's newsletter. If you wish to join beyond March 2004, send a PA
to DM 82. Come join the fun! -- Dagan LifeGiver, mgr. Shadow Warriors (DM 93)
28 January 2004
This notice is to formally introduce our young alliance, CHAOS INC. We consist of
APEX, FLAGG, MATRIX, ASSAMITE, and now RUDE BUDDHA. If we aren't already there, we
