SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt LAPUR will ever be the same. It seems the training can make the difference,
as FORCE OF NATURE is pushed out of top team by BLUNT FORCE, who came from 5th with a
2-0-0 this turn. BLUNT FORCE stable has parlayed this turn's 2-0-0 into a 4 space
move up the rankings. This brings them up to 1st place. Good work, guys! The
CARDOW HUNTERS guild has had a 3-1-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future.
You never know where this kind of thing can lead. And let's see, THE CLEAR fought
DOWN POUR and gained 21 points and contributed to ARCANE PHARMACY's 1-0-0. DOWN POUR
has lost to THE CLEAR, falling 20 points, while helping make FORCE OF NATURE a 3-2-0
turn. Defending his title for another turn, MACHIGAI kept ECHL-EAST's warrior,
ORATHAI, from claiming the throne. By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw
last night, cramped under the table at The Burning Tree?
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. Well, sports fans, take notice that KOJIRO from BLACK SAMURAI
was LAPUR's most challenged warrior this turn. THE IRON LUNG of BLUNT FORCE had
better have a good reason for challenging down 8 points in a challenge which it won.
I thought THE IRON LUNG showed great skill and promise when it bested ZERO
VISABILITY. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. Is it really true that LAPUR 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. It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your swords
sharp and your hammers heavy. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper--
Alarond the Scribe

The Croc Files mourn the tragic passing of the most amazing individual who was the
inspiration for this team. Thank you for all you've done. Rest in peace, mate. You
will never be forgotten.

Manager: THawk
Hydroponicus -- I am amazed that you aren't a golem. Somehow, that would seem...
appropriate to your name. But since you aren't, since, in fact, you are a dwarf and
I'm half an elf, I'm supposed to be hostile to you. At least that's what it says on
the cue card. But I'm not. Yet, anyway. I'm sure you could turn that around if you
tried. -- Ladybug
P.S. A salute to your courage, even if you happen to be a tourney warrior with
hidden fights.
Amie -- But that should NOT be taken as an invitation to enter my bathtub, because I
have a suspicion that the standard sentence was inaccurate. I have met more
formidable foes in ALLEYS, or for that matter on mountainsides and plains, but I have
this horrid suspicion that in a BATHTUB, you would be quite a bit more formidable
than I wanted to encounter just then. -- Tiger Lily
The Iron Lung -- Shierrah! I didn't know dwarves engaged in that horrible practice.
Can't you go to a magician and get a gender re-attachment? It's, well, indecent, in
a backwards way. -- Cezzaro
Mensa -- I tried to put all my, er, cards (which is to say blows or strikes) on the
table, and it seems to have worked. I would much rather put, hmm, a dish of ice
cream with rhubarb pie on the side on the table. Or...blackberry cobbler, with, of
course, ice cream. Something along those lines. -- Snowshoe
Oh, no! Murry, the furry purry one, has died! We are very sad and hope to see him
reincarnated sometime soon. -- the Cardow Hunters
26 August 2006
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
