                                      SPY REPORT

     I was going on vacation, see?  Surf, sun...  But what do those bums say?  "Hit 
the road, Debby Tonte.  NIATOLI ISLAND needs a spyreport."  Oh, well.  Too bad, BIG 
LAKE BANDITS, but BAD COMPANY was just too good to be stopped.  RAVAGING LORDS like 
really fought hard to move up to 4th from 9th.  Way to go!  Talk about yer major 
upsets!  THE MORTICIAN's match with M. CHARDINEE cost him a loss of 21 points!  The 
Duelmaster isn't going to stop just cause he's Number One!  BLONDE CYCLONE knows 
this.  He was challenged by the Duelmaster.  This Duelmaster is like something else!  
TIM CAMPEAU stopped BLONDE CYCLONE dead in his tracks!  Is the Duelmaster really 
being a real snob to his teammates?  Don't ask me!   
     Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right?  RAVAGING LORDS was NIATOLI 
ISLAND's most avoided team.  Is there some award for that?  Is there some deep dark 
secret why NYE MAULERS' been avoiding RAVAGING LORDS so much?  Or is it just that 
they're too scared?  Can DEATH PENALTY's FIRERAGE be more popular than me?  She was 
challenged the most, but is that really the same?  I'm not so sure KILMOR knew all 
the facts when he challenged THE MURDERER of DEATH PENALTY.  I saw KILMOR stumbling 
and dribbling at The Don't Drop Inn last week...  KILMOR lost to THE MURDERER, but he 
got 3 points.  THE MURDERER won, and got 3 points.  I don't get it.  People were 
asking me did BULL SIMONS REALLY challenge FIRERAGE?  (all right, maybe they didn't, 
but it sounded good!) It wasn't a spectacular fight, or anything, but FIRERAGE wants 
me to write about it since she was put to death by BULL SIMONS.  Satisfied?  SPICOLI 
must not be a good enough fighter to get in fair fights.  He challenged TEDDY NASH.  
13 is a big difference.  (Well, that's what they tell me.) I thought SPICOLI showed 
great skill and promise when he bested TEDDY NASH.  All right, so I slept through it! 
Big deal!   
     What does a fighter fight for?  I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone 
gets killed.  Not after four more fights.  Hey, warriors get killed by other 
warriors, not by their manager sending them to the Dark Arena.  What's wrong with 
JUST ONE FIGHT's 2-0-1, BIG LAKE BANDITS?  I'm always kinda bummed when a decent 
warrior gets killed.  BLONDE CYCLONE, of BIG LAKE BANDITS had a 21-13-0 when he got 
bumped off by TIM CAMPEAU.  I was SO depressed when I heard FIRERAGE got killed.  She 
was just a kid, and didn't get a fair chance in NIATOLI ISLAND, or anything!  Fight, 
fight, fight.  Is that all you guys can do?   
     I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid.  Who would've guessed I'd be 
a famous Spyreporter?  I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it 
quits.  Remember you guys, ease up sometimes!  Chill out!  Later, Debby Tonte

In days past, I have heard of the Allied Axis...even, I believe, locked horns with a
manager or two of your group.  So, I cordially invite you, and your horde of
miscreants and bullies to join in on the Turf War 5 being held in XX Arena (North
Fork-DM #47).  Rules are posted in an all-arena ad.  Be there and participate in what
is hopefully one of the best contests to test and prove your mettle. -- Baphomet,
mgr. Knights Templar (568), DM #47 (Illuminati Confederation of Alliances and Host of
TW5)

General Ikillu -- Your lack of intelligence disheartens me, yet your lack of hygiene
frightens me more than the stench of my own toe cheese!  Keep coming for my
"criminal" with your 20 FE sissies to my 6 FE killer with your inept bloodfeuds.
Your design capabilities, or lack thereof, remind me of the pathetic "Necromancer."
Keep the bloodfeuds coming for they are easier than a female that would say yes to
Crambus! -- Philthy Phil, more defunct than a pig barn on a windy day!, manager of
Jailbirds and ninth in command of the Allied Axis.
P.S.  I have joined you in the Sunset arena.

Philthy -- Has your incredibly feeble mind forgotten the lessons I so brutally taught
you long ago?  Your scum designs will not suffice in this contest, my friend. -- Bill

General -- After all this you pearl harbor me with your scum waste.  A major strat
error on my part gave you a slim victory.  However that has been rectified.  If my
challenge went through you will find Skullcrusher in the dead box.  If you are very
lucky he will merely have been beaten within an inch of his worthless life.  We must
set our differences aside for a time now, but know I feel after this little contest I
must punish you severely. -- Bill

Team Filth -- As a courtesy to you, each turn you will be offered the opportunity to
concede defeat and bequeath several large pies to us in tribute to our superiority.
There is no shame in knowing, and accepting the hopelessness of your plight, the
inferior gene pool from which you came.  Do not be hard on yourselves for your
imminent failures, not all men can be equals.  You all are at no more fault for your
incredible shortcomings than are myself, and Den for being intellectual giants.  It
is for this very reason we have added General Ikillu to level the playing field.
Still the choice is yours. -- Bill, your humble chief justice

Death Penalty -- WHAT THE %^&#!! you are still here?!  Now you're testing my
patience. -- Bill

Tim Campeau -- Well won against my Grimgower, the throne is yours, for a turn.
Better an AA member covet the throne than any of the other scurvy that infects our
island.  However; you do have an appointment confirmed with my Mortician this turn.
My time has come again. -- Den, manager of the Big Lake Bandits and High Priest of
the Allied Axis

Mighty General Ikillu -- The gods have indeed lost favor with your quest.  The time
has come to circle once again and you will learn much from Den and Bill as we prepare
for our inter-alliance victory ceremony.  I hope you indeed bring a mighty hunger to
the pizza party, for it is we who will eat first. -- Den

Allied Axis -- It is with overwhelming joy that I write this congratulations.  As the
fights complete each turn I quickly turn my eye to the weekly results and rankings,
and once again I see a very high percentage of the awards owned by AA members.  In
just a very few short turns we have completely dominated our home, Niytyole Island.
Could this domination be of epic proportions?  I have searched through history but
have yet to find an alliance more dominant than ourselves.  Perhaps there is one out
there hidden from my scrutinizing eye, doubtful to be true, but the world is filled
with mysteries.  Mysteries such as why Deeders belt does not snap under the strain,
or why Crambus's pearly-yellow smile turns midnight into noon, why Filthy Phil's
emanations have not shrouded our beloved island in an impenetrable cloak of stench,
or why Ikillu's love of inferior species has not led to his personal downfall.  Each
of these a mystery in its own right.  Congratulations to each of you, for our
alliance proves itself each and every turn.  We are indeed the pinnacle of
cleverness, the beam of intellect, and the thread of excitement, we rule Niytyole as
was destined. -- Den, High Priest of the Allied Axis

Arena Felines (Garfield, correct?) -- I'm a killing machine, step in my path again
and I'll carpet this cesspool of an arena with your blood, guts, and kitty fur. --
Bull Simons

Vexer -- You best me into desperation and broke my maul, you were truly robbed of a
fair victory, apologies. -- Grand Wizard

Balbasore -- Next time I'll kill you. -- Spicoli

Korienellen -- I left your legs on for a reason, now run like you've never run
before, coward. -- Kilmore

All -- The Nye Maulers are home again, and we brought death, disease, and destruction
with.  Your stables shall be shredded and your youth will be manipulated into our
haunting desires of hate, dismay and corruption, which will be spread through
Alastari. -- Crambus, mgr. Nye Maulers and Head Court Jester of the Allied Axis

What happened?  We don't even have half the teams of trash bags we had years ago! --
Crambus

Team 1 -- The Apostles have proven to be a no-sho and XXX Bandits have shown to be
part time, if at all.  Philthy Phil and myself will drag your rotting carcasses from
Niytyole Island to Bonsur and back again.  I like Canadian Bacon on my pizza, order
extra. -- Crambus

All -- Sure glad Hammer isn't here, that guy was a kook! -- Crambus

Dark Arena        +10      -5       xx       xx
Special Scoring:
     a.  Each mention in the Spy Report is worth 2 points (team mentions only!)
     b.  Each Style Master is worth 2 points.
     c.  Duelmaster Throne is worth 2 points
Champions:
     a.  Champions may be declared, but are not mandatory.  If declared, the Champion
         must be in the Adepts or lower brackets on the turn they are declared
         without having gone above the Adepts bracket at any time...including
         transferred teams.  (I'll be watching for this occurrence!)
Bloodfeuds:
     a.  Bloodfeuds count for all four (4) turns.  However, the same warrior may not
         be used all four turns.  4 turns means 4 separate warriors.  A penalty of
         -10 will be given to the team who violates this.
Special Conditions:
     a.  I reserve the right for all final decisions.
     b.  If I make a mistake, I'll multiply the points by 2.
     c.  If you claim I did, and *YOU* are wrong, I'll subtract points at the rate of
         x10.
     d.  Each alliance begins with zero (0) points.
     e.  Dark Arena may be used on the first turn of every warrior with no penalty
         (this means a warrior with 0 FE).
     f.  TVs won after the contest begins gain a 25 point one time score once the
         tourney reports are posted in the NL.
     g.  TCs won after the contest begins gain a 50 point one time score with the
         same conditions as noted for TVs.
     h.  NO switching alliance once verified by an alliance that a team has declared
         for.
     i.  Only 7 teams are permitted per alliance for the Turf War 5.
PRIZES:
     Turf Wars are a "Winner Takes All" type contest.  All prizes and 100% of the RU
Certs will be given to the Captain of the winning alliance and it is his/her
responsibility to give these to the alliance membership.
     I have requested from RSI the following:
     a.  renaming of the orth Fork (DM 47) arena;
     b.  renaming of Dark Arena Monsters;
     c.  known favourite rhythms for one warrior on each team of the winning
         alliance.  This warrior would be in the Initiates or above brackets on the
         last turn of the Turf War (they must have at least one arena fight to
         receive this award).
               Baphomet, Host of TW5
Special Note:  A downchallenge is considered from a higher bracket to a lower
bracket.  Same bracket, more recognition points?  Not a downchallenge!

In accordance with those rules set forth by the Lady of the Realm, I hereby announce
the formation of a small group of managers calling themselves "The Outsiders".  The
group consists of the following members:
     Doc LeGrande
     Apex
     Street Legal
     Carnage
     Ghoti
     Roadkill
     Valamond
     This group has only one rule.  Respect the play of the managers of this
alliance.  We have no worries about not playing by the rules set forth by others.  We
fight the way we like, and all those in this group appreciate what tools each manager
brings.  We have managers from the Delarquan, Andorian and Free Blade regions.  We
have managers that focus on the tournament arenas, and we have those that focus on
the regular city arenas.  We have those in our ranks that fight with honor and
respect for all, and we have those that have a bloodlust that cannot be quenched.
     Our goal is simple.  To create a ensemble of managers that will show their
prowess in the land of Alastari, and to bring a new level of competition to all those
that share the sands with our warriors.  Our warriors are many throughout the land.
We have no home arena.  We have no pacts we abide by.  Our fighters range from
Mordant to Talcama, from Lapur to Lyratilan, Aruak City to Valamantis, the Primus
arena to Talahya, and many more arenas throughout the land.
     Whether we are sought out or ignored makes no difference to us.  We are what we
are.  We fight how we fight.  And we do it however we wish.  We have no rules.  We
have no leader or ruler.  Be prepared.  We are.

The Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire respond thus to the Avengers of the Light:
Where are you?  EACH AND EVERY Dark Knight can be found in arenas 31 and 52.  Your
pretty words mean less than nothing if you won't fight.  EVERY Dark Knight is more
than willing to back up their talk.  So...we give you three turns in either 31 or 52,
REPEAT 31 or 52 to show up or shut up.  If you don't show we'll let all of Alastari
know the Avengers are indeed cowards! -- Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire

I received a Gift Certificate from someone.  I'm assuming it's for entry into the
Turf War 5.  Whoever sent this to me...please email me at rbaphomets@yahoo.com.
Thanks.
