                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly CHIMLEVTAL games.  Former top team THE STORMBRINGERS 
was unseated this week as WAR moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top spot with a 
3-1-0 record for the round.  Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the 
corner!  Witness how this week CAESAR'S POOL HALL went 4-1-1 to move up 3 in the 
rankings.  My praise to WAR for their 3-1-0 week this time out.  Indeed, it was a 
skillfully fought round deserving of notice!  MARLENUS caught the eye of many in the 
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested ULTHAR STORMHELM and was awarded 14 
points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, FREKI put down BJORN 
IRONSKULL, causing him to lose 6 points of recognition in the process.  This time 
victory fell to the grasp of the usurper.  All hail ULL HARDHAMMER, Duelmaster of 
CHIMLEVTAL!  Would you believe that over half of the old women in CHIMLEVTAL seem to 
feel that they could fight better than you gladiators?   
     Many and various are the arts of battle.  In CHIMLEVTAL "art" is a word that has 
long since passed from the language!  My inside sources tell me that the team to beat 
in CHIMLEVTAL these days is THE STORMGUARDS.  At least, most blades in town are 
looking to avoid them.  If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard 
pressed to find any of THE STORMBRINGERS last week.  Busy avoiding THE STORMGUARDS?  
Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below.  DECIUS take warning! 
You have more than a few enemies in CHIMLEVTAL.  For some warriors honor is not 
important--only empty victory.  See, gladiators, how THERMOPYLAE of WAR challenged 
down 21 points to WULFGAR.  The weight of the challenge fell hard upon WULFGAR and 
predictably he was overcame by THERMOPYLAE.  This is how to arouse the anger of an 
entire guild!   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  My hearty congratulations CRASSUS, for thy revenge 
upon ULL HELMSPLITTER, slayer of thy fallen comrade.  Next time he will know better, 
eh?  Fate is a fickle mistress.  She showers the miserable with fortune but sets 
enemies against the victorious.  Remember this!   
     If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times 
already in CHIMLEVTAL.  Nice atmosphere you have here!  Ahh, but I can hear the 
spires of a far off city calling to me.  I must away!  Till next we meet remember:  a 
fool flies into a rage quickly and often.  The wise are angered by the same thing 
only once.  Zontani Sharp Eyes

High Lord Bosk -- Well met, Realm Restorer! -- The Icelord

Caesar -- Good to see you active in Chimlevtal.  Sorry I have not returned to Arvat.
RW situations preclude me getting much more involved in duel2 for now. -- The Icelord

Toker -- Welcome back!  Many teams fled because they could not handle Chimlevtal.
Some just drifted off.  Some got tired of sand-bagging fops who contribute nothing to
the arena.  Hope to see you and many more return and keep things jumping. -- The
Icelord 

We salute Tal Hawkins! -- The Stormguards

Unfit To Be Orcs and Avengers -- Let's get this arena up and running again! -- The
Council of Lords

Greetings All -- This is Vincent Michaels, "the Rake", mgr. of the Stormbringers out
of DM 33 Niatoli Island, back after a relatively long layoff.  I come back to my
arena to find only two other teams there.  Terrible!  I'm calling on all you managers
out there who have inactive teams in Niatoli to put them back in the game.  Also,
anyone else who wants to come check out our little island are welcome.  Good food and
a lot of good gambling, and you will have a chance to smack around Gen. GirlPants and
his band of Ravaged Queens.  Great fun.  Come one, come all!

Players of Duel 2:

RSI wants to try, in a few arenas, a system that rewards role-play and general arena
involvement.  Our thoughts at this time are as follows, and feedback is earnestly
solicited:

1.  What to reward.
a.  Spotlights--they don't have to be involved and lengthy storylines, and in fact,
my own inclination is to say: anything game related and original (i,e,, not a
reprint), maybe set a minimum length.  I use TOGS here as my model--half a column as
formatted for the newsletter, and we don't judge the quality of the writing (so long
as the editor isn't grossed out), just the intent to make a positive contribution.
b.  A dm column where one is "due."  Again, no judgment on quality of writing, should
be dm-related, and I would say (this is just me) a minimum length of maybe five
lines.
c.  Personals.  More than just "you suck," or "good fight."  How much more doesn't
really concern me, and quality, other than "not offensive to the editor," should not
be an issue.  We don't want to encourage participation and then muzzle it.
d.  It has been suggested that a reward point or two be offered for running a full
team.  We could include this, but my own inclination would be to say that there would
be no points for this, but that those who don't make a clear effort on this
(accidents happen, so maybe something like "when the three-turn total of fights is
below twelve"?) aren't eligible for points on any turn until they get it back up to a
full team.

2.  How to reward it.
a.  We've been thinking nebulously about some kind of point system, obviously, as an
example, say 3 points for a spotlight, 2 for a column, 1 for personals, more points
here for what takes more effort, but some points for any effort.  This is in no way
final!  But some way to keep track of who is contributing and how much, and as non-
subjective as possible; this would be noted as each newsletter would be proofed.  A
way to clearly identify who's sending in what would help, but I can work it out by
referring to the warrior listings if I have to.
b.  But, assuming a point system, do the rewards, whatever they end up being, go to
the player who achieves a certain point total?  Is this calculated per turn, or as a
running total over as many turns as it takes to reach that point?  Or to the player
with the highest total on any given turn?  What about ties?
c.  What do the points get the player?  The current thought is X points gets a free
fight, probably replacing the "Popularity Leader's" free fight in the relevant arena.
That suggests only one player getting a role-play free fight on any given turn.  Is
this enough to encourage the newsletter participation we're hoping for?  Should we
convert "This Week's Favorite" to a role-play free fight also?  Or handle rewards in
some other way entirely?

3.  Where it happens.
The current thought is, try it in four arenas:  one in each region, and one slow
arena.  Who picks the arenas in question?  I'd be inclined to rule out those that are
doing fairly well already (Ardivent, Sunset, Lapur; Arkers, Morya, North Fork), but
is that wise?  Or even fair?  Darned if I know.  Places where it is NOT currently
intended to happen:  Transfer arenas.  Maybe rule out the no-tourney arenas as
current candidates, too?

If this seems to work well enough to be worth the effort, should we consider
extending it to more, eventually to all non-transfer, arenas?

This is not a "someday down the line we might" concept.  We want to do this, and
SOON.  Your feedback would be appreciated, for, against, changes, anything.  You can
email me directly at jputney zianet com (make sure it says DM in the subject line) or
send a diplo to scribe, any arena.

P.S.  Staff members not to be eligible for role-playing free fights.
