Notes from the arena champ.
The Khalhums Dwarf simply THREW himself against my bumper. What else could I
do? I had the right-of-way, after all.

SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly CLIFFHOME games. Former top team JINDA-BAN was
unseated this week as ARENA FELINES moved up from 4th ranking to take the top spot
with a 3-0-0 record for the round. Warriors--remember that glory waits always around
the corner! Witness how this week ARENA FELINES went 3-0-0 to move up 3 in the
rankings. SIR LICKSALOT caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he
skillfully bested CHERT and was awarded 15 points in recognition. In one of the
week's more notable duels, SIR LICKSALOT put down CHERT, causing him to lose 7 points
of recognition in the process. The city has turned out in honor of DARK TYPHLOSION,
for with his arena victory he may now lay claim to the highest position in the city!
Would you believe that over half of the old women in CLIFFHOME seem to feel that they
could fight better than you gladiators?
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city CLIFFHOME. Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those
below. DINGIL BILL take warning! You have more than a few enemies in CLIFFHOME.
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? TORCHICK has sworn to take up religion upon living to tell of hers
recent bout with the Dark Arena horrors. A rare thing indeed! Some say a warrior is
judged by the way he bears arms. One thing is sure, better a dagger in hand then a
sword on the belt!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in CLIFFHOME. Nice atmosphere you have here! More than a sharp eye must I
keep, indeed a stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari
await me! 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 Sharp Eyes

4 May 2005
Several questions have been asked about Slaughter's Challenge that I'd like to
address and clarify.
1) All Prizes must be used on the contest team, this includes the resurrection.
Remember any fast arena team should be able to transfer to a slow arena
(except for arena 82, I believe).
2) Warriors will be allowed to fight and run in the dead tourney, should there
be one, and return if an opening can be made without breaking the rules
(i.e. only one DA fight allowed per team).
3) If you win your single DA match you do not get another. It's one use of the
Dark Arena win or lose so if you want him/her/it dead be sure and throw the
match!
4) The resurrection potion's longevity has been extended by the commission to 6
months but the other potions (favorites, and +1 bonus) must still be used
within 2 turns and on a 5 FE or higher warrior. The resurrection can go on
any warrior regardless of FE.
Street Legal
P.S. My thanks to those already entered (Hammer, The Consortium, Tripwire, Stik, and
Shaman) and hope many more find a reason to come to arena 54. Again, my email is
triumph1971@hotmail.com or you can diplo me in arena 14 at THE DEATH SQUAD (63) if
you need more info!

Amendment for "Fratsfas Quest for the Best!"
Managers that have teams already established in Fratsfa need not have (3) three
warriors in the initiates. FE will NOT be a factor. Stables may be entered at any
time. Just announce your stable in the p-ads.
***************************************************************************
This in my invitation to all managers who wish to prove their mettle against
managers from all over Alastari. We have limited TP's in this contest to one a team
at a time. We DO NOT want this contest to become a scum fest as many others have,
hence the Andorian arena. Good luck to all who come to prove their skills. "May
your enemies' blood flow freely" -- Dark Knight Toker, Desolate Empire Alliance
