                             Notes from the arena champ.

Hello Arena!

Been out awhile, life happens, but I'm back.  Looks like most people have moved on to
somewhere else.  Anyone want to bring me up to date on what's going on in DM these
days?

                                 Sin.
                                 Mos

                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, warriors of LYRATILAN!  Once again I've been called out of retirement 
for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting.  Bein' on top is great while it 
lasts, THE MIDDLE WAY 4.  But how many friends do you have now?  What's with QUIA 
SALIAN?  She actually beat ERRATA's SPARK, and walked away with 26 more points from 
the fight.  Laughs were big at THE MIDDLE WAY 4 while they watched QUIA SALIAN 
clobber SPARK.  He lost 22 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the 
stands.  I'm sure LYRATILAN is excited about DEATHBRINGER, the new Duelmaster from 
MADTOWN.  (remember?)  But when you've seen as many as I have...  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 
MASTERS OF SIN.  Management must be dealin', as the boys at SPONGMONKEYS ain't 
reelin'!  MASTERS OF SIN's mad!   
     Warriors of LYRATILAN unite.  You have only your games to lose!  Is it my 
imagination, or are fighters getting younger every day?  To die so young, so 
gloriously!   
     Who knows what the future holds for a warrior.  More fights, there's no doubt.  
LYRATILAN is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places.  
Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and good luck.  Until next time,-- 
Olaf Modeen

Just a Win -- Do you realize how lucky we are?  The arenamaster applauded your skill,
and he didn't do anything but curl his lip at me.  Over in Tobir, they've got an
arenamaster who's a demon, and he might EAT losers!  Well, they say he's never been
caught doing it, but who knows what goes on behind closed doors, eh? -- Bron Chollu

Rick O'Shea -- Ha, thought you'd get me on the rebound, did you?  But I counter-
bounded, and that was, as they say, that.  Or something. -- Velond Wok

Honest Merchant?  Yeah, right. -- Beltran Foss

Jeb Lewes -- The truth comes out, Velond IS a fool. -- Quia Salian

That Happy Peasant just keeps on grinning, no matter what happens.  It's weird.
Maybe HE is a demon. -- Quia Salian
P.S.  Yes, okay, he says he's happy to be near me.  I don't buy that.  If I were
friendly, yes, maybe, but every time we meet, I beat him up.  Is he a masochist, or
what?

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.

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!

21 May 2005
Amendment for "Fratsfas Quest for the Best!"
     Managers that have teams already established in Fratsfa need not have (3) three
warriors in the initiates.  FE will NOT be a factor.  Stables may be entered at any
time.  Just announce your stable in the p-ads.
     ***************************************************************************
     This in my invitation to all managers  who wish to prove their mettle against
managers from all over Alastari.  We have limited TP's in this contest to one a team
at a time.  We DO NOT want this contest to become a scum fest as many others have,
hence the Andorian arena.  Good luck to all who come to prove their skills.  "May
your enemies' blood flow freely" -- Dark Knight Toker, Desolate Empire Alliance
