SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of CLIFFHOME! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Warriors--remember that glory waits
always around the corner! Witness how this week THE LOST SOULS went 3-1-0 to move up
3 in the rankings. RUNABOUT caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as
she skillfully bested AMBITIOUS GUARD and was awarded 15 points in recognition. In
one of the week's more notable duels, TETTNANGER put down FREEDOM TOAST, causing her
to lose 6 points of recognition in the process. Although VETERAN MERCENARY made a
valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious STEVEN SCIMITAR.
No confirmation, but my sources claim that the top team has gained their position
using magical aids. Charmed weapons perhaps?
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. Loose talk at the arena has
reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after
KORRIBIE. Watch your back! Give CRAPOLA CRAYON credit for its courage. Did you
note how it challenged KORRIBIE despite the 26 point difference in their rankings?
Do not the gods reward courage? CRAPOLA CRAYON it was that claimed victory in the
bout, while also rising 19 points in recognition. At the gambling halls I have
started to bet money on D'ARK CATAAN. He has got the courage it takes. Witness his
challenge this turn against JACKY - VF! Truth to tell, D'ARK CATAAN did not come out
of the fight a winner, but he managed to capture much attention, gaining 1 in
recognition. I can not but mention with disdain the name of LORDLINGS OF YORE who
this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 8 points below in the rankings. I
thought LORDLINGS OF YORE showed great skill and promise when he subdued HARANDUR.
All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. Dark alleys may hide both secrets and
assassins. In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? 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

All -- I don't know what to say.... 1-9?!? You'd think I didn't know how to play.
-- Stimpy :*(
Talon -- It is very good to see you around these parts still. -- Stimp
Rootie Tootie -- Thanks for conceding the match our way. Things aren't looking
bright in the stables. -- Tettnanger
I think I may have an "eye" problem. "I" can't see myself sticking around any longer
if you people keep picking on me. -- Crapola Crayon
Jilesinaspeedo -- You've got more something-or-other than I do! -- Dingil Bill, who
has modesty issues
Lordlings of Yore -- (with dismay) All of you? -- Harandur
Jacky -- VF -- I hope you run over a nail! -- Runabout
Steven Scimitar -- (muttering) Sneaky little elf.... -- Korribie

17 July 2004
I am currently trying to put together a favorites chart for AD warriors. I
desperately need help with this. What I need are style, favorite rhythm (ex.:
hi/low), favorite weapons, and tactics. What would be great is if you could send me
a copy of the invite with the warrior's name, id#, and arena blacked out. This way,
I can verify that this is an actual warrior. Minis will work, too!
For those interested, I have both a challenge style vs. style and a match-up style
vs. style chart. There's about 250 fights calculated in these charts, and I'll be
happy to send a copy to anyone who asks. You can contact me (if you're a free world
player) at: Rick Stringer, Merit/East, SCI, P.O. Box 500, Georgetown, DE 19947-0500.
If you're in prison, just send a diplo to: Baphomet, Mgr. Knights Templar (568), DM
#47--North Fork. (I also have a lot of other charts and info for anyone who wants
it.) Thanks!
