                             Notes from the arena champ.

Greetings, Cliffhome!  Well, I got my invite and if it wasn't for Crapola Crayon I
would probably be undefeated.  I was a slasher, running 15-10-6-21-17-10-5.  I
thought my favorite weapon was either the hatchet or longsword, but the gods say its
the shortsword.  Excuse me, let me puke.  I favor Mod/VL and like the counterattack
and riposte skills.  I leave rated 160 initiative, 145 attack, 140 riposte, 125
decisiveness, and 85 parry with 97 learned skills.  I am -1 init, +4 rip, +1 attack.
Not enough favorites or bonuses to warranty my continued play at the Isle of the Eye.
I bid you all a fond farewell.

Steven Scimitar
Lord of the League Arcane

                                      SPY REPORT

     Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in CLIFFHOME this turn, and let's 
start with a look at some of the teams.  And let's see, DARK TYPHLOSION fought 
KORRIBIE and gained 22 points and contributed to FIRE DECK's 3-2-0.  RUNABOUT has 
lost to CHARIZARD, falling 11 points, while helping make JINDA-BAN a 0-5-0 turn.  
This turn CRAPOLA CRAYON challenged STEVEN SCIMITAR in what was CLIFFHOME's Title 
bout.  And all eyes were on STEVEN SCIMITAR this turn as he ascended to the throne of 
Duelmaster.  CLIFFHOME has a new victor!  Tell me, is nothing sacred?  I have heard 
from unimpeachable sources that The Choking Ogre uses trolls in their stew.  Talk 
about gristle!   
     I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling.  A basher 
friend of mine assures me this is true.  Well, sports fans, take notice that RUNABOUT 
from JINDA-BAN was CLIFFHOME's most challenged warrior this turn.   
     A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once.  Wise men know this to 
be true.  We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their enemies.  
You know who you are; and it's considered rude.   
     Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe.  Dare 
to fight bravely.  Well, I'm burning daylight here in CLIFFHOME and I've a long road 
ahead of me.  Happy Trails.  Until you see my quill in CLIFFHOME again, farewell-- 
Alarond the Scribe

Bob, Eternal -- Fancy meeting you here! -- Korribie, at a loss for words

Robert German -- Okay, NOW you can gloat.  (sigh)  You notice how, right after I
called on my gods to protect me, you knocked me down?  Feckless creatures, gods.  If
it should chance to be possible, I'd vote for un-inventing them. -- Dingil Bill the
battered and uninsured
P.S.  They didn't mention my insurance this time, because after the last time it
lapsed, I said, "Heck with it."  Don't have any now.  What's the point?  It never
pays when I need it.

The Userous Merchant has installed a FALSE parking meter outside his shop!  You put
your coins in, and NOTHING HAPPENS.  And then one of the City Patrol comes by and
gives you--me--a ticket, and you have to pay a fine...to the Userous Merchant.  I
call that low and despicable, and I despick him. -- Runabout

Tettnanger -- Ah, you poor old lost and forlorn soul!  At least you have a secret
admirer.  Maybe she'll make you fudge.  You could ask. -- Harandur
P.S.  Most things look better while eating fudge.

Tribecca -- That's a very NASTY claw you've got there, and the bite at the end didn't
help, either. -- Ballou Ys

Our congratulations to our old sparring partner, Steven Scimitar. -- the warriors of
Jinda-Ban

11 November 2004
All you alliance-type people, I'm trying (again!) to get my alliance listing correct
and up to date.  Either send me a diplo (address it to The Saint) or send your
updates to me directly at Sue at solberg-mathews.com.  As you may guess, replace the
at with @ and you're good to go (I do hate spammy mail and this will end up on the
web).

I have information on the following alliances:  ADIO, Allied Axis, Armada,
Brotherhood of Justice, Brotherhood of the Blade, Cadre, CDC, Chaos, Inc., Circle of
Order, Company of Brothers, Consortium, Council of Lords, Couple Good Guys, Crimson
Vengeance, DOA, DOOMcorps, Enigmafia, Eurosquad, Fascist Federation, FONZ,
Frothingslosh Syndicate, GAPPDA, Homeland Alliance, IT Alliance, Jingoists, kLk,
Knights of the Covenant, LBA, League Arcane, Legion6, Living Essences, Lords and
Ladies of Darkness, Manic Union, Midnight Foundation, Minions of Diana, Monarchs of
Montezuma, NCA, NIMROD, R.A.G.E., Seventh Sons, The Firm, The French Connection,
Vendett@ United, and the Vendetta Cartel.

If you are a member of one of these alliances, let me know.  If you are a member of
some other alliance that isn't listed, let me know.  If you were at any point in your
past a part of one of these alliance but are now independent, also let me know.
Going inactive doesn't mean you get removed from this list; people are assumed to
still be in the same alliance when they return.  Even having everyone in an alliance
go inactive doesn't change anything.  If an alliance is officially disbanding, that's
another thing you have to let me know....

The Saint, keeper of lists

P.S.  If you already responded to my online plea (and I replied), you can ignore
this.

                       Hammer 500-Hammer Run for the Roll Ups
                                  Hosted by Hammer

     Niytyole Island DM 33 has dwindled to the point where as of T-482 [duedate
November 3, 2004] there were only 2 active stables listed with 3 inactive stables in
a once thriving and lively regular arena.
     During the past 40+ cycles Hammer has been hosting the Hammer Run for the Roll
Ups in DM 33.
     Thus far only the Ripper and Slasher categories have produced winners to claim
the 5 New Team Roll Ups Prize for being the first declared Style Master of their
respective categories to graduate.
     Every contending stable has gone inactive for one reason or another, including
CASINO HAMMERZ, over the past several months.
     Now DM 33 faces the harsh reality that if RSI chooses to close any arenas due to
little or no interest, Niytyole Island could very well head the list of endangered
regular arenas!
     In an effort to preserve his beloved island, Hammer is announcing the
continuation of the Hammer Run for the Roll Ups; combined with the Hammer 500 which
will conclude both contests on T-500 [duedate July 13, 2005] should DM 33 continue to
remain open in the coming months.
     Attention Hammer Runners!
     The Hammer Run is for 0 FE Basic Arena Warriors ONLY.  Participants MUST Be
Declared in the P-ads On or Before their First DM 33 Basic Arena Fight to Qualify as
a Hammer Runner!  Winners of Each Category will receive 5 New Team Roll Up Gift
Certificates mailed from RSI courtesy of Hammer!  [On the condition that they
Graduate on or before T-500; see amended rules below!]
     The following Style Master categories remain open with a listing of how many
declared contestants are still entered and their W/L recognition record at the time
of their disappearance from the Hammer Run competition:

     As you can plainly see, the Hammer Run is still wide open in several categories,
depending upon whether or not the deactivated stables are reactivated for the Hammer
500-Hammer Run for the Roll Ups contest!
     Any declared warrior who succeeds in graduating by T-500 will win 5 New Team
Roll Ups Gift Certificates mailed from RSI courtesy of Hammer!  Gift Certs will be
awarded as soon as possible upon official graduation if the graduation occurs prior
to T-500.
     On T-500 the highest ranked ACTIVE declared warrior in the category(s) without a

there will be Three (3) Gift Certs awarded to the managers whose Active warriors are

STYLE MASTER CONTESTANTS WILL BE AWARDED TWO (2) GIFT CERTS AND ALL OTHER PRIZE
CATEGORIES WILL BE DECLARED NULL AND VOID BY HAMMER!!!!!!!!!
     The purpose of this contest is to restore DM 33 to a lively and entertaining
arena!
     Hammer is willing to foot the Prize bill in a last ditch effort to save Niytyole
Island from deletion if RSI and the Gladiatorial Commission decide that more arenas
need to be closed due to lack of participation and interest.
     Should this effort fail to spare DM 33 from deletion, then Hammer is prepared to
transfer CASINO HAMMERZ to another arena if Niytyole Island is closed by RSI and the
Gladiatorial Commission.
