SPY REPORT It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report. Sit back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis. Say good-bye to KLKASINO HAMMERZ, as they are pushed from the coveted top team spot by the CHAOTICDISORDER stable. Hey everybody, watch out for DEMONICHELLION, who flew up 18 points in the rankings after mashing TATHARLI like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. BIG CASINO HAMMER was beat by WRETCHEDMISERY and drops 10 points. It's a proud day for the VEGGIES stable, as their warrior, SUCCOTASH, ascended the Duelmaster's throne. Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff? But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle! Did you hear that VEGGIES was most avoided team this week? Well, knowing the personal hygiene of VEGGIES' warriors, I'm not surprised! And you guys like to boo me? Well, unsling your rasberries, cause VEGGIES beats feet every time VEGGIES smiles at them. Try farming, eh? Well just about everybody wants a piece of TATHARLI, who was this week's most challenged warrior. Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). Remember: alliances are great, but try and take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens. Well, there's the manager of the NIATOLI ISLAND giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that 'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). Well, there goes another Spy Report. Good luck in next week's fights. Its been fun, and I'm sure you enjoyed it (boos).

Everywhere one looks, demons and fiends, fiends and demons. -- Tyler If we could challenge the standbys, we would. What insult! -- The Sewing Circle, not a rude person in the lot, unless it's Thimbell 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!
