SPY REPORT
The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon ZUWAYZA, for
I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned! Practice pays for CLICQUOT CHAMPAGNE, who
pummelled SNAKE PLISSKEN, to pocket 17 points. A certain someone should cut down on
the drinking and practice more, after losing 15 points to CLICQUOT CHAMPAGNE.
(Discrete enough, SNAKE PLISSKEN?) PUTRID DEFILER successfully staved off a grab for
the roses by MAD DOG RUSSO of MAN OR BEAST?. Does ZUWAYZA have no one talented
enough to dethrone him? So who's the team that's been walking into taverns last week
and ordering milk? Sounds like a PR stunt to me.
My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter.
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights! To quell some nasty rumors, the guys
in WALI'S FINEST are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need to avoid 'em.
Like a pup with its tail between its legs, MAN OR BEAST? scurried away from WALI'S
FINEST. Oh, the shame! Is it charming personality? Conversational abilities? Good
oral hygiene? Whatever it is, SPACE MONTHLY is the most challenged warrior.
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Hey GENTLE
THINGS! Is there some deep dark, unmentionable secret as to why KITTEN has been sent
to the Dark Arena? 3-0-0 isn't so shabby! Congratulations, CAPTURED ORC. The
manager of THE MAGNIFICENT MAGS should have sent EVERYBRIDE to the Dark Arena for
having a 9-11-2 long ago. Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed
body parts in the arena. A certain tavern in ZUWAYZA would I avoid!
Leave me now, you base fools! As the seasons change, and the creatures of the
wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave this place. Can anything compare
to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for ZUWAYZA? On that giddy note I take my
leave-- Novgorodny Vir

NEW TEAMS IN THE TEMPORARY TOURNAMENT ARENA (DM 85)
Please note that all new teams created at the Face-to-Face were temporarily placed in
a temporary Tournament Arena, DM 85. If you requested that your team be placed in a
specific arena, it has already transferred to that arena. Effective immediately, any
teams placed in DM 85 and not transferred out to another arena, will be automatically
deleted a month after the tournament. If you have questions about any of your teams,
please contact Customer Service. -- RSI
WINTER FACE-TO-FACE IN SUNNY ARIZONA!
Our next winter FTF will be held in Tempe, Arizona, January 16-18, 2015. It will be
held at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Tempe, Arizona (480-897-7444), the same hotel as
last year by popular request. Room rates are $149.00 per night, 1-2 occupancy, which
includes full cooked breakfast, complimentary manager's reception, free airport
shuttle, free parking and free high speed internet. There's a fitness center,
jacuzzi, and pool. The rooms are blocked--code RSI.
Please make your reservations now if you plan to go. This is prime season for
Phoenix, and this year will be crazy: the Superbowl, Phoenix Open, auto auction, PF
Chang's Marathon, and more are all during that time. The hotel will be filling up
quickly and I won't be able to add rooms to the block after they are full. So please
book your room now -- if you can't make it you can cancel your reservation, but we
hope you do!
Look for the tournament info sheet and minioverviews some time in December. We hope
you're all looking forward to it and that we will see you there!
