SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, WILLAF? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Of course, we're all terribly impressed
to see MALVO win a fight and gain 18 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, GEORDI LAFROG beat
DYNAMIQUE and DYNAMIQUE lost 14 points. You're breakin' my heart. And it's out with
the old, in with the new, as SLOTHIS takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the
old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. The Welcome Wench, humph! I've tasted better ale at
mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From WILLAF's trash dumps?
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward. WILLAF,
I am losing what little hope I had in you. WYLDERNESS WYLD the most avoided team?
What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And it looks like YAMABUSHI avoided them the
most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph.
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. Well, SHOCHU, I guess FORCES OF EVIL stable was just
too chicken to bloodfeud you over KYSER SOZE. I guess cowardice is part of managing
a team. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is developing
these kinds of weapons?
There's got to be a better place in WILLAF to get a drink than The Welcome
Wench! Any suggestions? Just wait 'till next time I show up here, I won't be so
nice! So nyaaah! Paste this one in your scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come
this winter-- Snide Clemens

Benmar -- Blast!! Defeated by a stinking skummer 17 points superior! What horrible
luck is this?? -- Hajimari
Peach Nutt -- You lucky stinking dog!! I cut you into desperation twice and you
still came back for more! Got a 21 constitution or something?? -- Shochu
Shochu -- I hate fights where I come out looking like an absolute idiot. -- Oran Ji
P.S. Especially when I come out looking like an INJURED absolute idiot.
Yushimo -- Oh, no! What a wrenching experience that was! -- Ghost of Heck S'Nutt
Happy Fun Ball -- Gods, don't you ever give UP? -- Peach Nutt, pretty well done in by
nine minutes of looking for an opening
Moot -- Another one? What is this place coming to? -- O. Pun Pleezj
Face Plant -- I hope somebody kills your sister, the House Plant. -- Little Dipper
Hmm, that's a thought.... Since there are so MANY warriors who can't kill a house
plant, maybe that's what I need here? -- Jorja

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!
