SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report. Sit
back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis. A stormcloud
is brewing over the WAY OF THE SWORD C5 guildhouse. Rumor says any more weeks like
this ones 0-2-0 may send the team to the Dark Arena. Coming up with a solid 2-0-0
outing, TREE PEOPLE 2 has advanced 5 places in the rankings. Advancing in the
rankings was MEDIEVAL CHAOS who went from last turn's 62-66-5, to this week's record
of 66-67-6. Hey everybody, watch out for SLIM JIM, who flew up 17 points in the
rankings after mashing FROZEN FANNY like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya
know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. ELEANORTH was beat by SKOME
TREE and drops 11 points. Going for the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody
knuckles was KELLUMBO'S KIDS' LUCIAS CLAY, who was turned away from the
Duelmastership by NO HURRY. Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver
this stuff?
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the SOLVEN arena. Did you
hear that THE REPUBLICANS was most avoided team this week? Well, knowing the
personal hygiene of THE REPUBLICANS' warriors, I'm not surprised! For those of you
who like math, try this one: THE REPUBLICANS + Weapons That go Boom = KELLUMBO'S
KIDS + Avoid City. Well just about everybody wants a piece of TAX DEDUCTION, who was
this week's most challenged warrior. Was it guts or an overtaxed mental capacity
that had HARD LUCK WOMAN challenge up 32 points in the rankings to take on TAMMY? I
heard HARD LUCK WOMAN laughed all the way to the inn as hers new point total of 46
was posted in the arena. I guess beating TAMMY really pays! Well, it looks like
EASY BREEZE wasn't happy with last turn's rank, so he went for broke by challenging
up 34 points. No guts, no glory. This week EASY BREEZE 17-19-3 fought TAX DEDUCTION
15-11-1 and in losing gained 4 points. I know several gladiators who could go for a
few fights like that.
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Proving again that SOLVEN is not
rated G, CEPACOL of the MEDIEVAL CHAOS slew the warrior KIWIRA in a rather bloody
bout. Let's look for a bloodfeud. 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. Well, there goes another Spy Report. Good luck in
next week's fights. Its been real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been real
fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Subotai -- Naturally you won, you brought your whole horde along! I don't do crowd
scenes. -- Arishtarte
Christine Gregoire -- (bristling like a porcupine) You tricked me! The announcer
said you were Fratsfan, and I was looking for a tall slim blonde, and then it was
YOU. Gah! Grossly unfair. -- Zooie
P.S. Probably a conspiracy.
Marius -- I'm sure it's a fine road, but I don't WANT to go to Rome. -- Kiwira
Ruder Than You -- By which I assume you mean that YOU are ruder than ME, which is
quite likely, what with you being Rirorni and all. A very rude bunch, the Rirorni.
-- Zebroe
P.S. Actually, it's inspiring.
Ed. -- I don't like dancing with my nose in a woman's belly button. -- Zooie
P.S. I wear sports goggles, so I don't get clints from other people.
Eeeew, belly button lint up the nose does sound fairly icky. -- Ed.
P.S. Good, don't want those clints spreading!
Tony Blair -- You dare cast aspersions on my business practices? -- Elwood Zoar,
Honest Merchant

I have returned after a five-year absence. I expect all tithes, gifts and bequeaths
to resume as normal. -- Magic Man
4 May 2005
Several questions have been asked about Slaughter's Challenge that I'd like to
address and clarify.
1) All Prizes must be used on the contest team, this includes the resurrection.
Remember any fast arena team should be able to transfer to a slow arena
(except for arena 82, I believe).
2) Warriors will be allowed to fight and run in the dead tourney, should there
be one, and return if an opening can be made without breaking the rules
(i.e. only one DA fight allowed per team).
3) If you win your single DA match you do not get another. It's one use of the
Dark Arena win or lose so if you want him/her/it dead be sure and throw the
match!
4) The resurrection potion's longevity has been extended by the commission to 6
months but the other potions (favorites, and +1 bonus) must still be used
within 2 turns and on a 5 FE or higher warrior. The resurrection can go on
any warrior regardless of FE.
Street Legal
P.S. My thanks to those already entered (Hammer, The Consortium, Tripwire, Stik, and
Shaman) and hope many more find a reason to come to arena 54. Again, my email is
triumph1971@hotmail.com or you can diplo me in arena 14 at THE DEATH SQUAD (63) if
you need more info!
