SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly ZENSU games. BLONDE GRENADE caught the eye of many in
the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested M. CHARDINEE and was awarded 13
points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, O. POSTE put down
PARTICLE MAN, causing him to lose 2 points of recognition in the process. Although
BLADE MASTER made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of
victorious TRIANGLE MAN. No confirmation, but my sources claim that the top team has
gained their position using magical aids. Charmed weapons perhaps?
Many and various are the arts of battle. In ZENSU "art" is a word that has long
since passed from the language! I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this
week's challenge seeking began. BEYOND THE PALE is feared. This much I can say.
Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the better part
of last week avoiding BEYOND THE PALE. Indeed it was THE SHIRE. Loose talk at the
arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are
after BLONDE GRENADE. Watch your back!
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!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? 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
Triangle Man -- You will note how, out of my innate sense of fair play, or something
like that, I have allowed you to gain the title here "honestly," as they say. By
victory over the previous title-holder. It makes a better start for your reign. Do
well. -- Dark Lenora
Blade Master -- Gosh, you're, like, totally masterful, aren't you? Sometimes that
can be fun, but not if it gets out of hand, you know? And being hit on the head is
getting out of hand. So let's not do that again, okay? -- Blonde Grenade
Bilbo Baggins -- You dwarves are really rude, and way too hairy. I don't like you at
all. -- Jenipher
White Noise -- I know all about noise, because of having a little brother, well, two
little brothers, actually, but sometimes they seem like a horde. So I can handle
some noise now and then. -- O. Poste
20 April 2005
I have returned after a five-year absence. I expect all tithes, gifts and bequeaths
to resume as normal. -- Magic Man
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!
