SPY REPORT
Much has changed in CALEAM since last I was here. Never fear, Olaf Modeen
adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. Hmmmph! I always thought
THE DREADLANDS was an over-rated team and they proved it with a 0-2-0! Up 'n down.
Up 'n down. Rankings always change. Up 'n down. I think I'm gonna be... Well, THE
TAKEN's 7th moved them up to 2-1-0 place. Some people say I ramble too much, I don't
say anything relevant. I repeat myself. I ramble. Well MENAGERIE moved up 0, to
5th. What a role model for CALEAM's young 'uns! TAOS becomes Duelmaster, but don't
bother to fight no more! I can barely restrain my enthusiam for THE TAKEN's
outstanding member, Duelmaster BENEFICE. Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects
to practice on? I hear some team is looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.
Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... How well I know the
feeling of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of practive, SHERWOOD
FOREST! The bums at HEADBANGERS couldn't face the challenges from SHERWOOD FOREST!
No excuse for that! How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged
warrior, KORIBUS! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you. Fighting
is a better craft than farming, KORIBUS, but you have to pay your dues. Being
challenged by IRIS, 22 points above you, is dues. IRIS won victory over KORIBUS. I
bet IRIS could beat two-year-olds, too. Well, GOLDEN CANYON knows who to set their
sights on. I hate going to the effort of writing about the kind of fights that TUK
ADOW gets in. It fights people like POWERMAN, 15 points below. I thought TUK ADOW
showed great skill and promise when it lost to POWERMAN. All right, so I slept
through it! Big deal!
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? Is it my imagination, or are fighters getting younger every
day? To die so young, so gloriously!
Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. CALEAM 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

Honesty -- I guess you would call that a pretty poor challenge on Cliche's part, eh?
-- Amee
Crip -- Good to see we are picking things up where we left off years back. Picking
on the weak guy huh (Poindexter)? Guess it's time to kick your butt from "Here to
Phoenix." -- Sablon-O-Vlad

K. Kate -- What the heck is a Red Ruffles? -- Headbangers

To All Managers -- I would like to take this time to announce that my alliance, The
Association, is no more. Due to the dead weight managers of the alliance and their
lack of participation, DarkSpirit and I have formed a new alliance: The Firm. We
have taken on two members so far and are looking for a few more. If you would like
to find out more about The Firm, you can diplo Dark Spirit, Unknowns XX in arena 15
or myself, Sungod, Sadists F2FII in arena 62.

26 July 2003
Citizens of Alastari, a bright dawn has risen. While you slept, a pernicious
force has entered the once-fair City of Aruak. It fought alongside their treasured
warriors, it drank with their fans, and it slept with their women. Now the masks are
coming off.
Warriors, be afraid...be very afraid. After years of Andorian managers ranting
that Aruak is the safest city in Alastari, the Frothingslosh Syndicate has selected
Aruak City as the home for its next epic 'contest'--Murder by Numbers II. Our spies
have selected the warriors for extermination, and the executioners have had several
months to prepare. Now a new age of darkness will descend upon Aruak, as the
Syndicate and its allies bring an entirely new level of competition to the arena!
Downchallenges! Assassinations! Small poodles as hors d'oeuvres!
The Murder by Numbers II 'rules' will be announced next cycle. However, we
invite all managers, from all corners of Alastari, to come to Aruak City and take
part...in one way or another. Help defend the honor of a long heralded haven for the
pure, or join the forces of change in their siege of the ice-cream and cake
stronghold of the Dukes of Nerf-Dueling!
This exercise is not for either the faint of heart or the weak willed. Blood
will flow, brains will leak, and beer will be chugged. Either way, we welcome you
with open arms and gleaming blades.
This public service announcement has been brought to you by Frothingslosh Epic
Contests (tm), the number 86, and the letter 'K'.
The Frothingslosh Syndicate
