SPY REPORT
The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon CLIFFHOME, for
I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned! Those betting on DU BASHERS lost their shirt, as
DU BASHERS lost their fighting abilities: 0-0-0. Practice pays for HARANDUR, who
pummelled TETTNANGER, to pocket 21 points. Win some, lose some. Speaking of which,
D'ARK CATAAN was winsome, after beating POOR REPLACEMENT and seeing him lose 8
points. In CLIFFHOME, nothing is permanent (except Death), and we find ourselves a
new Duelmaster, CRAPOLA CRAYON. Word has it one team in CLIFFHOME is taking speech
lessons to try to bore their opponent to death. I'll bet it works.
And how sociable are CLIFFHOME's warriors? Come, let us see.
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Ask not for
whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.
All good things must come to an end. As the seasons change, and the creatures
of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave this place. Like a mixed
metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid CLIFFHOME farewell-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Charizard -- Every time I see you, it just feels wrong, and I don't mean because the
encounters are so painful, either! But I just keep having the feeling that you
should be female and a story-teller. -- Dingil Bill
System of a Down -- I'd rather go with the Ups, myself, except that they can't seem
to FIND me. Oh, well. Amazing learning there. Wish it had been me! -- Korribie
P.S. Congratulations, and have fun on the Isle.
Tettnanger -- I may have only a small engine, sir, but it's efficient! You cannot
escape me on a short run. Not that I have anything against you personally, I
wouldn't lay a wheel on anyone for personal reasons, that kind of thing isn't Done,
but I have put my tread marks on one or two people who tried to obstruct traffic, you
know. So look both ways before entering the arena! -- Runabout
Kippax -- Odd, that name doesn't SOUND Aruaki. Of course, who'd want a name that
sounded Aruaki? It'd be like painting a target on your shirt. So maybe that's a
good name after all. I just don't know. I can't seem to think, lately. -- Harandur
Harandur -- You never could think, so don't worry about it. -- Korribie
Henrico -- Shouldn't you have an accent there? Come on, you can do it. Try talking
through your nose, or dropping some significant consonant, or something! I love it
when a man has a dashing accent. -- Ballou Ys

Youngblood's Three and Out Contest
I would like to take this time to announce and invite all managers to compete in what
I think will be an awesome contest. If you haven't ever TC'd at a tourney before,
here is your chance. The contest will start Wednesday, December 1, 2004, but a
chance will be given November 17 to dark arena, only, any warrior that you do not see
fit to run in the contest. So now that I have your attention, here are the rules
(like you didn't know they were coming sooner or later).
1. Any manager participating can enter one team, only.
2. No sandbagging whatsoever. (I will keep up with it, every turn.)
3. No teams or warriors will be allowed to run after contest starts.
4. All warriors will run until they lose three times, after three losses they are
eliminated.
5. If a warrior sits out a turn, they are accounted with a loss in the contest.
This is to keep warriors with winning records from sitting out until the end of
the contest.
6. If a warrior is killed during the contest, the replacement cannot enter the
contest.
7. If a warrior is killed, bloodfeuding is allowed, but only by a warrior that is
active in the contest.
8. If a warrior is run after being eliminated, the manager is disqualified from the
contest, no questions asked.
9. Challenges are legal, up or down.
10. Contest will keep going until 1 warrior is left without three losses, and that
warrior, of course, is accounted the winner.
11. All managers participating will be asked to purchase a rollup certificate, to be
awarded to the winners of the contest.
<<<PRIZES>>>
As I have already said, and according to participation, rollups will be awarded
to the first and second place managers. So the majority and minority of the rollups
will be determined when all are accumulated.
Contest Champion--2 Faves prizes, and majority of rollup certificates
Contest Runner-up--1 Faves prize, and minority of rollup certificates
So once again I invite all managers old and new to participate in what should be
a fierce and challenging contest. <<<REMEMBER, FIRST OFFICIAL TURN OF THE
CONTEST IS
DECEMBER THE FIRST, AND AS I SAID BEFORE, THE TURN BEFORE (NOVEMBER 17TH) YOU MAY
DARK ARENA CHALLENGE ONLY!!! ANY WARRIOR WITH ANY FE (FIGHT EXPERIENCE) WHEN THE
CONTEST STARTS WILL BE ELIMINATED FROM THE CONTEST.
