                                      SPY REPORT

     You elder fighters surely remember me.  The younger ones may call me Olaf 
Modeen.  I return to MORYA once again!  What's with NUTTY NECROMANCER?  He actually 
beat PLANETS' URANUS, and walked away with 20 more points from the fight.  Major 
screwup at PLANETS.  URANUS lost 18 points to NUTTY NECROMANCER.  Some new 
strategies, perhaps?  Maybe URANUS will provide more easy wins...  SPINE EATER was 
reminded on the sands why VENUS is Duelmaster.  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 
BIG LAKE PURE.  The bums at KRYDOR'S ELITE couldn't face the challenges from BIG LAKE 
PURE!  No excuse for that!  What do people see in ULU?  His 5-4-0?  PLANETS ain't 
talkin', but he's got 35 points.   
     Warriors of MORYA unite.  You have only your games to lose!  Yeah, yeah, FEA 
SMALLPURSE killed KRYDORIUS DU'MORTE, who was "too young to die."  Well, he was a 
fighter, and that's what you have to face.  Many a warrior has met his fate in a 
hungover stupor.  You young rapscallions, take note!   
     Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors.  Any plans here?  All 
work and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter.  Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.  
Olaffighterwork and no play.  Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and 
good luck.  Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen

From:       The Office of Accurate Census Reporting, Gladiatorial Commission
To:         All Managers

In the interest of preserving our natural resources and preventing managerial writer's 
cramp, the census form has been eliminated, effective immediately.  Managers may 
register their warriors' races and/or favorite sayings by simply writing them on a 
separate piece of paper and submitting them to the Commission.  Each warrior may have 
up to 15 favorite sayings.  Each saying must be categorized Jeer, Gloat, Boredom, Ouch, 
Victory and may be up to 70 characters long.  For any questions, please contact the 
Gladiatorial Commission. 

                        WINTER FACE-TO-FACE IN SUNNY ARIZONA!

Our next winter FTF will be held in Tempe, Arizona, January 18-20, 2019.  It will be 
held at our usual Embassy Suites Hotel in Tempe, Arizona (480-897-7444).  Room rates 
remain $149.00 per night, 1-2 occupancy, which includes full cooked breakfast, 
complimentary manager's reception, free airport shuttle, free parking and free high 
speed internet.  There's a fitness center, jacuzzi, and pool.  The rooms are blocked--
the code is "REA."  

       The official block cutoff is December 21 so make your reservations ASAP!
             The hotel reservation site is:  http://tinyurl.com/ybszwwgz 
       This is prime season for Phoenix and the hotel tends to fill up quickly.  

Look for the tournament info sheet and minioverviews some time in December.  We hope 
you're all looking forward to it and that we will see you there!

                        TEAM AND CHARACTER MAINTENANCE SERVICE

     As a service to all managers, we offer team and character maintenance.  This 
option allows you to make sure your team or selected warriors will never miss a turn!

     Team Maintenance:  This will cause all warriors on that team to fight every 
     turn; if it's an AD arena, any new warriors who arrive on that team will 
     fight the turn they arrive.  In A.D. or in transfer arenas where you have 
     multiple teams, each team will need to separately be on Team Maintenance.  
     (The only exception is new warriors; they will not fight until they have had 
     their initial strategy input.)  

     Character Maintenance:  This will cause only that warrior to fight every 
     turn.  If the character graduates or changes arenas, he/she/it will stay on 
     Character Maintenance.

     In either case, you may submit strategy sheets for your warriors each turn, if 
you wish.  The Team/Character Maintenance will make sure your warriors fight each 
turn, and they will always use their most recently entered strategy.
     Remember that challenges, avoids, and challenge/if challenged strategies will not 
carry through from turn to turn.  These sections are only used on the turn they are 
entered.  In order to continually challenge or avoid you will need to submit a 
strategy sheet each time. 
     One other thing to remember about maintenance:  Maintenance is not something 
that you write on your turnsheet (like in demo tourneys).  In order to add or remove 
maintenance for a team or warrior, you must send a note to Customer Service.  If you 
just write things like this on your strategy sheet, they may or may not get done.  
Likewise, don't write it on your personal ads.  Please, please, please put it on a 
separate piece of paper with "Customer Service" written on the top.  If you don't, 
well, you can imagine.
     Thanks for your time.  Good luck in Duelmasters! -- Green Eyes
