                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly CALEAM games.  My praise to HEADBANGERS for their 
3-1-0 week this time out.  Indeed, it was a skillfully fought round deserving of 
notice!  MASSASAUGUS caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he 
skillfully bested TRUSTWORTHY SCRIBE and was awarded 20 points in recognition.  In 
one of the week's more notable duels, MISS PRISS put down PINK, causing her to lose 
12 points of recognition in the process.  This time out SPLINTER made his bid for the 
throne as he challenged FIRE in an all out contest of skill for possession of the 
title!  Although SPLINTER made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the 
reign of victorious FIRE.  Would you believe that over half of the old women in 
CALEAM seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators?   
     I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently 
transpired.  Indeed there is much I would report.  I saw one fighter that warriors 
avoided when this week's challenge seeking began.  HEADBANGERS is feared.  This much 
I can say.  If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find 
any of GOLDEN CANYON last week.  Busy avoiding HEADBANGERS?  Loose talk at the arena 
has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after 
CANE TOAD.  Watch your back!  I can not but mention with disdain the name of 
HAMMERFALL who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 9 points below in the 
rankings.  I thought HAMMERFALL showed great skill and promise when he defeated POPPA 
LODE.  All right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     Vendettas.  Bloodied blades and broken spears.  Indeed the city has seen more 
than its fair share of red in recent times.  Look no more for TUK ADOW in the arena 
or on the streets of CALEAM.  His fate was sealed in the Dark Arena.  Inevitable for 
one at 12-10-0.  This week marked the last days of ONYX who at 14-6-0 was dispatched 
to the Dark Arena by the command of WARCKERS' demanding management.  Was I the only 
one shocked to see the well respected fighter ONYX (14-6-0) appear on the sands of 
the Dark Arena?  She is now dead.  Strange what qualities come forth in the face of 
certain doom.  JAW BREAKER has the town astir with the news of his Dark Arena 
victory!  Fate is a fickle mistress.  She showers the miserable with fortune but sets 
enemies against the victorious.  Remember this!   
     The girls are as pretty in CALEAM as ever I remembered them....and the fighters 
as ugly!  Don't let your reputation slip!  Sadly warriors, now longer can I keep thy 
company nor savor the ale of thy fine city.  Depart I must and soon!  Till next we 
meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different 
story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

Go-Fer -- You really didn't think it would end after one bloodfued, did you? -- 
Doomsday

Koribus -- Thank you, sir, you are a gentleman and a scholar.  If we cross blades 
this time, it is only because my primary challenge of Fire did not go through.  Good 
luck in graduating soon. -- Splinter

Poppa Lode -- Let me guess, that's Mr. Lode of Skills to me, eh? -- Hammerfall

Papaiz -- Okay, pal, here's an offer to you.  If you continue to write PA's each turn 
in this arena, like you did last turn, I'll cut out the DC's in this arena.  As soon 
as you go back to being silent, I'll go back to the DC's.  Time to put your money 
where your mouth is and do something about it like you told Leeta.  So...I'll be 
looking on turn 492.  If there is PA's from you, and you become more a part of the 
arena than just fighting guys, you will see no DC's from me on 493.  Same goes for 
future turns as long as you contribute to Caleam with PA's.  Do we have a deal? - SOV

Flimsy -- Sorry pal, but I don't need to avoid when I have a TV challenge. -- 
Splinter

Papaiz -- Why, oh why are you not fighting Flimsy in the tourney?! -- SOV

Lord Fang -- Congrats on graduating Blue Ring Octopus.  Hopefully he got great faves 
and will bring a TV or even....I shudder to say....TC to Caleam.  Best of luck and 
congrats again. -- Sablon-O-Vlad

SOV -- Ya, I'll be leaving, although I am not sure as to how long.  Maybe just until 
after the spring mail-in.  I just want to get some warriors to the top of their 
class, so in about 4 or 5 turns. -- Papaiz

Doomsday -- Well, looks like that fan in the stands was right: you could do it.  I 
count this as the bloodfeud achieved, since the death was not of my seeking. -- Go-
Fer

Splinter -- Well, I can see the point some people have been making.  Unless you're 
going, as some people do, by number of fights listed rather than by ranking, that is 
a down-challenge.  With a TV, too.  There are warriors above you, there were last 
turn.  Does the win mean so much, to be sought by this means?  I note that both I and 
Miss Priss are withing challenge range of you still; we will avoid, and after all, 
you can't fight both of us!  Which probably means we get to have the variety of 
losing to Onyx or Tuk Adow.  Oh, well, the pay's not much, but the fringe benefits 
are good. -- Koribus

Hammerfall -- Maybe you didn't laugh, but you snickered.  I saw it. -- Poppa Lode, 
feeling his years

Hidden Doom -- I'm good at finding things, aren't I? -- Bouncer

Blue Ring Octopus -- You're rather short for a Fratsfan, aren't you?  Are you sure 
you're a natural blonde, young lady? -- Miss Priss

Papaiz -- If you know where I work, then you must know also that censuring players 
for tactics that are permitted by the rules is no part of my job description.  I have 
in the past suggested, nay, lobbied for, a change in the rules that would allow each 
region to have its own rules variants proper to its philosophy.  So far, no luck on 
that.  And until such a change is initiated, what do you expect me to do?  Tell him 
to stop playing?
     To address your specific points:  Yes, anyone can "run" a team as I do, and many 
managers do.  NOT just staff, I've done the input myself and seen who's on 
maintenance, and who's running "same" turn after turn.  And that is WHY I don't do 
strat changes or challenges: I've seen the input of the other managers.  Maybe not 
often, but once is all it takes to make an opening for charges of cheating.  I don't 
propose to go down that road; I've seen where it leads.  But because the other 
managers who run teams on maintenance don't write personals, they tend to slip under 
the radar of the more active managers.  I could, of course, cease to write personals, 
but that IS part of my job description.
     No problem is black and white.  There are shades of gray, or as the mime said in 
Malcorn once, "What about orange?"  Yes, I know, down-challenging is considered un-
Andorian, and this is an Andorian arena.  See above: down-challenging is legal here, 
as it is elsewhere.  Yes, there have been, in the past, staff members who got really 
hot under the collar about this; where are they now?  In any case, that is not my 
style and has not been in the sixteen years I've been playing this game.
     Yes, I have laughed about the down-challenges, sometimes.  What else should I 
do?  When I worked in a grocery store, I didn't berate everyone who bought the 
cheapest, shoddiest goods.  That was not and is not in my job description.  If some 
particular manager wants cheap, shoddy wins--and there are several of them around, 
because I've met 'em--I won't stop him.  Yes, I will start avoiding, probably not 
regularly, but often, because of a challenge by the same manager in another Andorian 
arena that was grotesque enough to finally get my goat.  Which does not mean I'm 
going to challenge him up, down, or sideways.  I don't have the time or the energy 
for that.
     I run in all four regions and all the advanced arenas; I meet all kinds of play 
(including some from so-called Andorian managers which would make me foam at the 
mouth if I were inclined that way).  It's part of my job.
     With the exception of the occasional avoid, I will continue to play as I have 
been for years now.  Or I'll close down the team; either works for me, although Sandy 
would probably refuse to let me go inactive on the grounds that the arena's too 
small.
     You'll have to take me as I am, and if you, too, want to down-challenge, that is 
your choice. -- Leeta

Lord Fang -- I don't know whether you can "re-burn" skills in Primus, although some 
of the number-crunching managers there could probably tell you.  But with the closing 
of Gateway, the training oportunities of Gateway have descended on Primus and all 
warriors there, maxed or not, may train skills again.  (What else could the 
Commission do?  It would have been grossly unfair to refuse the training to the 
Primus warriors that now have to fight the pumped-up ex-Gateway warriors.)  I don't 
know how many of each, but someone can probably tell you.  I do know that you don't 
have to fight a former Gateway warrior to get these trainings.  Good luck with it. -- 
Leeta
P.S.  As to "what else don't you know?" how can I guess?  Hmm, the slightly increased 
skill-training rate in Home Guard?  That's why some Freshmen TVs have come from there 
lately.  There are still a lot of old dogs in Home Guard, but often new graduates go 
there for a final polish before hitting the big time.
     And the closed arenas--you can move those teams, if you have any, into arenas 
where you ALREADY have a team without losing the in-residence team.  I think the 
limit is three teams per arena, though I'm not sure if that's three total, or three 
moved in with one already present making four.  If this might apply to you, check 
with the Commission.

                         Youngblood's Three and Out Contest

I would like to take this time to announce and invite all managers to compete in what
I think will be an awesome contest.  If you haven't ever TC'd at a tourney before,
here is your chance.  The contest will start Wednesday, December 1, 2004, but a
chance will be given November 17 to dark arena, only, any warrior that you do not see
fit to run in the contest.  So now that I have your attention, here are the rules
(like you didn't know they were coming sooner or later).

 1.  Any manager participating can enter one team, only.
 2.  No sandbagging whatsoever.  (I will keep up with it, every turn.)
 3.  No teams or warriors will be allowed to run after contest starts.
 4.  All warriors will run until they lose three times, after three losses they are
     eliminated.
 5.  If a warrior sits out a turn, they are accounted with a loss in the contest.
     This is to keep warriors with winning records from sitting out until the end of
     the contest.
 6.  If a warrior is killed during the contest, the replacement cannot enter the
     contest.
 7.  If a warrior is killed, bloodfeuding is allowed, but only by a warrior that is
     active in the contest.
 8.  If a warrior is run after being eliminated, the manager is disqualified from the
     contest, no questions asked.
 9.  Challenges are legal, up or down.
10.  Contest will keep going until 1 warrior is left without three losses, and that
     warrior, of course, is accounted the winner.
11.  All managers participating will be asked to purchase a rollup certificate, to be
     awarded to the winners of the contest.

                                    <<<PRIZES>>>

     As I have already said, and according to participation, rollups will be awarded
to the first and second place managers.  So the majority and minority of the rollups
will be determined when all are accumulated.
     Contest Champion--2 Faves prizes, and majority of rollup certificates
     Contest Runner-up--1 Faves prize, and minority of rollup certificates
     So once again I invite all managers old and new to participate in what should be
a fierce and challenging contest.  <<<REMEMBER, FIRST OFFICIAL TURN OF THE CONTEST IS
DECEMBER THE FIRST, AND AS I SAID BEFORE, THE TURN BEFORE (NOVEMBER 17TH) YOU MAY
DARK ARENA CHALLENGE ONLY!!!  ANY WARRIOR WITH ANY FE (FIGHT EXPERIENCE) WHEN THE
CONTEST STARTS WILL BE ELIMINATED FROM THE CONTEST.
