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. We now have a
new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on. STRONGHOLD now holds the crown and
they are betting they can keep it. Coming up with a solid 5-0-1 outing, STRONGHOLD
has advanced 3 places in the rankings. Hey everybody, watch out for DEATH DEALER,
who flew up 21 points in the rankings after mashing EMBEZZLING SCRIBE like a melon.
Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the
sands. BRANGWYN lost to KAN'SHI and drops 12 points. Try as hard as the FERROUS MEN
stable might, they were unable to find their warrior (and ex-Duelmaster) IRON-HIDE
before this week's fights. It's a proud day for the CHILDREN OF LLYR stable, as
their warrior, BRAN AP CADAL, ascended the Duelmaster's throne. Can you believe they
are paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff?
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the MURSKA arena. And hey,
kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid FERROUS MEN, please raise you hand. Wow.
Does MURSKA really have that many liars? Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch
STRONGHOLD's act in the arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from
FERROUS MEN. Well just about everybody wants a piece of BRANGWYN, 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 MURSKA 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. See ya next time
I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster

ZalCon2 Updates (1/9/04)
The contest will be starting on the turn due February 23rd, 2004 and run for 20
turns.
Only one team will be allowed for each manager in the contest, regardless of
whether additional teams are announced as contest entries. No exceptions for any
reason.
The Style Master points should read that there is +1 point for beating a member
of your own style even if the warrior is not registered for the contest.
Rolling points for consecutive turns as Style Master means that your warrior
gets the extra point every turn after the first 3 that he continues to hold the
title.
The points for Quality Wins should be clarified to read the winning warrior is
ranked below by the number of recognition points needed for each bonus point at the
start of the fight. For example, Warrior A (3-2-0, 17) beats Warrior B (4-1-0, 35)
and receives 2 bonus points under Quality Win for the 18 point difference in the
ranking.
I believe that is all the clarifications for the moment, please feel free to
email, diplo, call or write me with any other questions or concerns about the
contest.
