SPY REPORT
Much has changed in ALJAFIR since last I was here. Never fear, Olaf Modeen
adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. Woof! STEEL WOLVES were a
bunch of dogs after MIDDLE WAY got through with 'em! 3rd ain't so sweet as 1st! Up
'n down. Up 'n down. Rankings always change. Up 'n down. I think I'm gonna be...
Well, HEROESANDFOUNDONES' 4th moved them up to 3-1-1 place. Some people say I ramble
too much, I don't say anything relevant. I repeat myself. I ramble. Well MIDDLE
WAY moved up 1, to 1st. What's with SAPHRONICUS? He actually beat
HEROESANDFOUNDONES' VIOLET ORC, and walked away with 19 more points from the fight.
Major screwup at MIDDLE WAY. STRAIGHT LINE lost 9 points to NYZEIL OGLATA. Some new
strategies, perhaps? Maybe STRAIGHT LINE will provide more easy wins... Try as he
might, TITAN wasn't good enough at persuading JORRAM to step down from the
Duelmaster's throne... Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!
No matter the time or place, men will always duel. The most avoided team was
BALANCE OF TERROR. The bums at PHILANTHROPISTS couldn't face the challenges from
BALANCE OF TERROR! No excuse for that! What do people see in QUORD RASSEL? His
5-13-0? MIDDLE WAY ain't talkin', but he's got 31 points.
A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters
don't accept this. The best do. VALDRIC looked pretty sick and surprised when he
learned STEEL WOLVES is sending him to the Dark Arena! Whadd'he expect with a
11-14-1? How long have I been here? I got people to see, places to go...
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here?
ALJAFIR is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places. I don't
want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

Straight Line -- I grow weary of walking your line. Time to use some deadly force.
Step aside and let me graduate! -- Etien Haxan
Jorram -- My twin. We are identical in every way but size. I have the advantage
there. Now how do I use it to defeat you? -- Forcas
Pi's Doggie -- Don't make me hurt you. -- Hexim Hsidar
Havok -- Good skills. We'll have to fight again. -- Nynaeve Haxan
Etien Haxan -- (bestowing the curled lip of scorn on the short and unsteady one) You
can't walk a... Straight Line
Nightsong -- Gods, if it isn't JUST my luck to fight someone who can defeat me and
SING about it at the same time. I loathe songs! Just wine and women for me. --
Quord Rassel
Gouged Grimeye -- Hey, look, it wasn't ME did that! I'm just puttering along trying
to keep my head above the sand. -- Erbin Frorlin
Violet Orc -- Listen, guy, don't do it! You could end up in a WORLD of taunting. I
mean, look at it! A violet is a cousin to a pansy, and you know what people say
about pansies! Of course, this will keep you up to your savage mark in the arena....
-- Wendol Varn
Blue Orc -- Cheer up! With skill accumulation like that, you'll be climbing the
walls, er, I mean the RANKS in no time. -- Vinn Wulf
Dirty Old Man -- I knew that. I was using the sight of my "inner eye," as the
mystics call it. I could TELL that you are, at heart, a despicable creep. --

The Avengers of Light. Another VC lackey? What's the matter VC, are you scared?
Bringing in reinforcements. It matters not, bring your avengers and they shall be
crushed! I am Dark Knight Blackstorm and I represent the Desolate Empire and can
easily be found in 8, 28, 31, 47, 54, and 106. I reply with steel and your women
shall cry when they start the body count!!!!!!!!! Remember to sign your posts to
whoever from the VC wrote that earlier Ad. -- Dark Knight Blackstorm

Civil War/The Crusades
The next edition of the Civil War series is to be held in Tobir, arena 14, beginning
November 25th with a round where all participating managers must DA all 5 of their
warriors; in addition all warriors must be prefixed with an A an F or a D in the
following manner: A-Broke Stroker or (A) Broke Stroker. Names simply beginning with
the letter of your federation will NOT count as properly prefixed! Existing teams
are welcome but no warrior who survives the DA who had prior Fight Experience (arena
or tourney) will be allowed to score or challenge into the contest teams. There will
be an equal number of teams set up for each of the three factions (Andorian, Free
Blades, and Delarquan) to create sides as equal as possible. This along with the DA
round should set up pretty equal footing for all managers. After the DA there will
be another round where you can either DA again or fight your new, or surviving,
warriors so they will be set up to challenge an opponent beginning on round 1. So as
a recap DA round, turn 0, then turn 1 it begins with the following rules:
The Civil War to be held in arena 14.
- The contest runs for 10-28 turns (barring ties).
- No tourney participation allowed. Teams with warriors participating in any
tournament are disqualified.
- An even number of teams per faction worked out by the Faction Leaders. No later
substitutions are allowed.
- If a manager brings in a second team and challenges into the contest he is DQ'd and
his side will fight one team short!
- Three factions will be participating: Andorian, Delarquan, Free Blades
- Everyone prefixes their warrior with A-, F-, or D- (No prefix = disqualification of
the warrior)
- Turn DA: (The DA Round) November 25, 2006. Every warrior must DA. (Warriors not
DA'd on Turn 0 are disqualified)
- Turn 0: December 9th, 2006. There will be no scoring this turn it is meant to
allow for challenges on turn 1.
- Turn 1+: Scoring as detailed below
- Each team gets 1 point for defeating a warrior from an opposing team.
- Fights against warriors on your team do not generate points in any situation.
- The team with the most points each turn gets a Battle Point (if there is a tie for
the most points then no Battle Points are accrued)
- The first team to 10 Battle Points wins the war
- Managers of teams on the winning side each receive a +1 bonus potion to be used on
a warrior on their contest team. This must be applied within a month of the
conclusion of the contest and the team must have been active on the last turn of
the contest.
Anyone wishing to participate, and feels they can probably stick around for the
duration (don't want to handicap a side, of course unforeseeable events cannot be
planned for), should either diplo me at THE DEATH SQUAD(63) in Tobir (arena 14) or
place a personal ad in the arena. You may also contact me via the Duel2.com boards!
Let me know which faction you would like to fight for! This contest is intended to
be open to ALL managers wishing to pit themselves against each other to try and
determine which faction has the best managers! -- Street Legal

I am back in the arena and thinking back to those days in 1984 where I was a
novice and clueless manager.
Now, 22 years later it looks like I am an ancient and once again clueless
manager.
I am looking to recover some old warriors. Since none of them are Aimed Blows,
they are no threat to win anything. I just want to see how they turned out.
The Couatl 2-17
Madam Butterfly 20-701
Gypsy Moth 20-703
King Crab 21-1
Priestess Python 26-1388
Please contact me at DekeYoung@Comcast.net if you know about any of these ancient
warriors, or just want to bs about the old, old, old times.

It is obvious that the Dark Knights wish to be shown the light. Allow me to step
forward and blind them with truth. YOU ARE WORTHLESS!!! The Dark Knights are so
afraid of the light that they hide behind their black armor and empty threats. It is
too bad they are unwilling to actually FIGHT us! I guess our natural light is too
bright for you all to face! Fear us, for we are here! -- Gemini Goldphoenix,
Overlord of the Avengers of Light!
