SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly CLIFFHOME games. PAWS caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested GUHULONG and was awarded 20 points in
recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, PAWS put down GUHULONG,
causing him to lose 17 points of recognition in the process. Although WALDO made a
valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious SIR LICKSALOT.
Would you believe that over half of the old women in CLIFFHOME seem to feel that they
could fight better than you gladiators?
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. Mighty fighters cannot but expect
competition from those below. GUHULONG take warning! You have more than a few
enemies in CLIFFHOME.
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! 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 we meet again, remember: a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell,
and harms no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Sir Licksalot -- You silly cat. You get hairbuns. Ha! Serve you right. -- Guhulong
Waldo -- I don't think much of that movement-enhancing equipment you've got. Seems
like a sneaky deal to me. -- Harandur
P.S. Of course, if I were to practice more, it might not make any difference, eh?
Shotgun! (so good) -- And you BELIEVE that? -- Ballou Ys
Hello Kitty -- As you say. Odd to find someone even taller than I am. Good luck
with it, but if you get the chance, take the shrinking potion. -- Articulate Lori
No mere beggar, no matter how persistent, is going to swat ME. -- Mosquito

HAMMER ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT
Be it known from the highest mountains to the darkest alleys of Alastari that
the veteran manager known far and wide as Hammer has now officially retired from
sponsoring contests as of September 15, 2005.
What a long time ago was a fun motivated activity to help promote our common
DM/D2 gaming interest in an effort to promote the growth and competitiveness of
selected arenas has become a far from fun experience.
In other words Hammer has had it!
The combination of real life situations interfering with the time needed to
effectively sponsor a contest, plus the attitudes expressed during such sponsorship
interference has led to Hammer closing his personal coin coffers and retiring from
his planned sponsorship of any future contests.
There are others in our close knit gaming community who are well able to step up
to the plate and continue sponsoring contests that make the basic game a fun
experience for all those who choose to compete and interact in such future endeavors.
Hammer thanks all managers both active and inactive who helped to make the
Hammer sponsored contests a historical and entertaining experience well worth the
time, effort and money spent over the past several years.
May the Cheers and the Jeers of future contests build upon the legacies of those
who have paved the way in years gone by to help make this game what it is today.
Hammer has no regrets for the part he has played in that history.
19 September 2005
I'd like to say hello to everyone I know that is still around after my being gone for
five years. Hope to see you all on the sands, and may your weapons strike true and
your shields protect you (except, of course, against MY warriors *grin*)!! -- Lord
Xiang, D2-101
26 September 2005
Regarding the Regional News:
If any of y'all glance at it and find some arenas are behind, rest assured I'll
get them caught up next time around. I was trying to unsnarl the darned thing, but
it was just getting worse, so I decided gradual and partial was better than not at
all or ever. -- The Saint, keeper of lists
