SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt LYRATILAN will ever be the same. It seems the training can make the
difference, as BARHOPPERS is pushed out of top team by NOT FOR ME, who came from 2nd
with a 3-2-1 this turn. And let's see, THE GREATEST fought AIKIDO and gained 25
points and contributed to LEGENDARY MEN's 1-0-0. AIKIDO has lost to THE GREATEST,
falling 20 points, while helping make DARK FORCES a 1-4-0 turn. This turn PAINLESS
challenged BELTRAN FOSS in what was LYRATILAN's Title bout. The attempts to dethrone
the Duelmaster have failed, and PAINLESS remains LYRATILAN's top warrior for another
turn. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The
Mourngrym Inn and Tavern uses trolls in their stew. Talk about gristle!
I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling. A basher
friend of mine assures me this is true. MADTOWN has cause to stand tall, as they
were LYRATILAN's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat.
And guess who avoided MADTOWN stable the most? Believe it or not, it was BARHOPPERS.
Anyone surprised? Well, sports fans, take notice that GIGLIE from MADTOWN was
LYRATILAN's most challenged warrior this turn.
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. Is it really true that LYRATILAN
has more dishwashers per capita that fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. Always good to rest in LYRATILAN, but never good to wear out my welcome.
Look for me in future turns. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper--
Alarond the Scribe

Painless -- What, you couldn't find anyone else to challenge? I should probably
withhold skills for that, but it's too much trouble. -- Beltran Foss
Bikini Line -- If that isn't just LIKE a cat! Listen, if there was a tree in the
arena, I'd've chased you right UP it. -- Davia Hannas
Aikido -- YOU are a dark force? I have to say, that boggles me. I never would have
guessed. Sneaky, yes, but dark? (shakes head in mystification) Life can be very
strange. -- Xeno Yohl
Bubba's Cellmate -- Oh, absolutely! -- Erhlie Fay
P.S. What your team name says: Not for me.
Kraken -- Okay, YOU I can see as a dark force. -- Rolph Tupp
P.S. But I never did care for whatsit. Squid tentacles sliced across so they look
like onion rings, the name escapes me at the moment, but them. Yuck.
Calamari rings. Which can be quite tasty if well prepared. They can also be
rather like rubber bands. -- Ed.
Painless -- Can't say I am thrilled by the prospect, but I'll bear up, so long as you
don't kill me. Even painlessly, that would be too much. -- Beltran Foss

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.
