SPY REPORT
Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day,
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! AS FAR AS SIAM had cause to celebrate, after
SHREK got 16 points by beating EMBEZZLING SCRIBE. A certain someone should cut down
on the drinking and practice more, after losing 9 points to FATTY ARBUCKLE.
(Discrete enough, STUMP JUMPER?) Those who hoped for a new Duelmaster were
disappointed by ARNIE EL SHEW, of BEYOND THE PALE, who despite a 9-40-2 couldn't
overcome ZENSU's Number 1. Word has it one team in ZENSU is taking speech lessons to
try to bore their opponent to death. I'll bet it works.
And how sociable are ZENSU's warriors? Come, let us see. Like a horde of
jackals fleeing from the lion, so did the "warriors" in ZENSU avoid GARDEN OF
HORRORS. The warriors of GARDEN OF HORRORS found their efforts at combat frustrated
as AS FAR AS SIAM apparently had more important things to do than fight. Is it
charming personality? Conversational abilities? Good oral hygiene? Whatever it is,
MARION BARRY is the most challenged warrior.
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Ask not for
whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.
Do not think spyreporting in ZENSU is the highlight of my life. As the seasons
change, and the creatures of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave
this place. Can anything compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for ZENSU?
On that giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Blonde Grenade -- Well, it's normally my instinct to do massive bloodfeuding. It
was ingrained in my way back when, well, when this arena was a total bloodbath.
However, I don't think your kill was intentional and two, you might have given me a
blessing in disguise. I think I'll skip this bloodfeud. -- Huckle Cat
Blonde Grenade -- Silly me for thinking jumping on grenades was more daring than
wrestling bears!! I probably could of avoided the tempation, but you had to be
blonde, you know. Is it a natural blonde though? Some among the living are starting
to have doubts. -- Ghost of Canadian Bear Hugger
Dark Lenora -- Glad to remove that 0 from your record and not the other! -- Piston
Hurricane
I'm an Orc?!? All my life I was told I was an Ogre til I showed up at this place!!
Can Orcs be green? Somethings not right here in Zensu and I'll bet it's those same
commission people that said that Marion Barry lacks the wit to use a shortsword.
Something's afoot. -- Shrek
It's probably something you ate.
Piston Hurricane -- My. Very, um, striking, yes, it was. I was... disturbed by it.
Let's not repeat that experience. -- Dark Lenora
Phantasmagoria -- Blondie says you're a figmint. Odd, I didn't get that impression
at all. -- Arnie El Shew
P.S. So, ARE you a figmint?
Grilled Grizzly -- That's ridiculous. Everyone knows you don't grill grizzlies!
They're very tough and must be BARBEQUED. Otherwise they're more trouble than
they're worth. -- Jenipher, giving helpful cooking hints
P.S. Barbequed Bear?
P.P.S. Sauteed Snake?
P.P.P.S. Rattlesnake Ragout?
Can-Bear Hugger -- NOW look what you've done! It's got to be all your fault, one way
or another, because I was AIMING for your legs. -- Blonde Grenade
P.S. I really didn't want you dead, just as far away as Siam.
P.P.S. I'd say something couth and French to you, but I don't know any French. Rest
in piece, I mean, peace, and stuff like that.
A Cult Member? What's he doing in the arena? Did his cult throw him out, and he has
to scramble for eating money? Is he being punished by his cult? Is he a member of
an illegal cult, and he's being punished by the city? Or just what, exactly, is this
worthless bum doing in the arena? -- O. Poste

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.
