SPY REPORT
So why do I have this bag over my head? Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and
I'm going to give you a spy report!. Hey everybody, watch out for STONETOOTH, who
flew up 18 points in the rankings after mashing TETRICUS like a melon. Keep your eye
on this guy. And falling like a basher in the top ten was MARIUS, who dropped 16
points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with CHARLIE. The most
challenged warrior this week was ENOSHIMA. If this keeps up, our Duelmaster's going
to need more avoids! In front of all the crowds, CASSIE took the Duelmaster's crown
for hers own. I give the bum two weeks. 4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the
body, so try and avoid aiming at that location.
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
Did you hear that CROC FILES was most avoided team this week? Well, knowing the
personal hygiene of CROC FILES' warriors, I'm not surprised! And you guys like to
boo me? Well, unsling your rasberries, cause BLACK SAMURAI beats feet every time
CROC FILES smiles at them. Try farming, eh?
Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). Here's some advice: warriors with little
wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.
Well, there's the manager of the LAPUR giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). Okay, so I may not be the world's
best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. Its been fun, and
I'm sure you enjoyed it (boos). Now that I've got you worked up for Snide Clemens,
I'll be leaving-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Charlie -- Damned reptile! (sigh) But I thank you for the skills. Always useful,
skills. -- Quick Stinger
Tetricus -- How odd. I hadn't expected to win that, to be honest with you. And if
it hadn't been for the banana peel you slipped on, dropping your weapon, I probably
would not have won. Such is fate, turning upon small things. I salute your effort.
-- Black Tiger
Domitian -- (suspiciously) Are you SURE you're not laughing at me? I thought I
heard a smothered guffaw there. -- Stonetooth, a chipped old block
Marius -- Drat, I guess I wasn't carrying a big enough stick. Or maybe I wasn't
walking softly enough. Or something. Maybe it just wasn't my day? -- Walks Softly
and bleeds on the sand
The Rash -- Amazing what one can do with a little calamine, isn't it? -- Mad Dog (I
may be mad, but I'm not foolish)
Croc Files -- Just thought we'd try to appeal to some of the number crunchers. Those
were the crunchiest numbers we could find. -- Cardow Hunters
P.S. It DID get your attention, didn't it?
Graham -- Hey, that wasn't me! I was just reporting what the villain said. -- the
Scribe
THawk -- I will try to get an episode in this newsletter--by the time you'll read
this, you will know whether or not I succeeded. But there was this problem with the
brakes, to wit, when I went to stop at a traffic light, there weren't any. Gotta
take care of that. -- the Scribe
20 April 2005
I have returned after a five-year absence. I expect all tithes, gifts and bequeaths
to resume as normal. -- Magic Man
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.
Street Legal
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!
