SPY REPORT
It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty,
and despair! The boys at DI$C0MBU1@TED left the arena dejected, after being kicked
out of the top spot by BEYOND THE PALE. Good show! BEYOND THE PALE posted a nice
gain, to come in 1st. Everybody loves a winner... Practice pays for SUFFOCATION,
who pummelled DEVILISH ANGEL, to pocket 18 points. Win some, lose some. Speaking of
which, SUFFOCATION was winsome, after beating DEVILISH ANGEL and seeing her lose 16
points. SLICE found out that ZENSU isn't a democracy. You've gotta be the best to
be Duelmaster here! So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and
challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic problem...
And how sociable are ZENSU's warriors? Come, let us see. To quell some nasty
rumors, the guys in EXOTIC TASTES are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need
to avoid 'em. As a woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of BLOOD ANGELS, so
did that sorry team shy from EXOTIC TASTES
The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on... Perhaps BEYOND THE
PALE were the only ones left untouched by FRAIL FREDDY demise. Can anyone ever take
his place? Or do I exaggerate? Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will
pontificate long after you have fallen into an unconscious stupor.
Do not think spyreporting in ZENSU is the highlight of my life. More important
duties call me. Can anything compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for
ZENSU? On that giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
All -- I have been getting my butt handed to me all over Alastari. I thought a one
turn vacation might help me pull it together. If you wasted a challenge on one of my
warriors I am REALLY,REALLY sorry. -- Indimar
Sanguine -- You probably did laugh, you bloody runt. Write a column.
-- Darron Linz
Patterspace -- I've got to admit that I was surprised to win
that. It was like one of those nightmares where you run and you
can't get away? I kept hearing the patter of heavy feet behind me,
and it was always YOU. Gods, that was awful. -- Dellis Linz
P.S. Um, nothing personal.
Nomad -- This is what happens. You don't make a challenge, or,
possibly, you do but it doesn't go through, and you get me, and I'm
having a bad day. But hey, you survived, so you've got no complaint,
right? -- Tilarin
Calhoun Tubbs -- Yep, you were dirty, all right. Is it because of
the formidable foes in the bathtub that you don't bathe? -- Selvun,
clean and curious
Stubby -- If you're satisfied, then it's good. -- Tilarin
P.S. But people do get hit in the arena, so watch out! You can't
count on avoiding it.
Pauly -- (blinking) Is Indimar here? Because if not, it doesn't
matter whether he knows what you're saying. I haven't a clue, but
then, I so seldom do. -- Leeta, Beyond the Pale
P.S. Ah, okay. I see that farther down is a personal from him, so
he must be here, too. Getting crowded, isn't it? Kinda pleasant.
Dellis Linz -- But I like your house better! -- Farnok Bogg, Volunteer Orc

The Avengers of Light. Another VC lackey? What's the matter VC, are you scared?
Bringing in reinforcements. It matters not, bring your avengers and they shall be
crushed! I am Dark Knight Blackstorm and I represent the Desolate Empire and can
easily be found in 8, 28, 31, 47, 54, and 106. I reply with steel and your women
shall cry when they start the body count!!!!!!!!! Remember to sign your posts to
whoever from the VC wrote that earlier Ad. -- Dark Knight Blackstorm

Civil War/The Crusades
The next edition of the Civil War series is to be held in Tobir, arena 14, beginning
November 25th with a round where all participating managers must DA all 5 of their
warriors; in addition all warriors must be prefixed with an A an F or a D in the
following manner: A-Broke Stroker or (A) Broke Stroker. Names simply beginning with
the letter of your federation will NOT count as properly prefixed! Existing teams
are welcome but no warrior who survives the DA who had prior Fight Experience (arena
or tourney) will be allowed to score or challenge into the contest teams. There will
be an equal number of teams set up for each of the three factions (Andorian, Free
Blades, and Delarquan) to create sides as equal as possible. This along with the DA
round should set up pretty equal footing for all managers. After the DA there will
be another round where you can either DA again or fight your new, or surviving,
warriors so they will be set up to challenge an opponent beginning on round 1. So as
a recap DA round, turn 0, then turn 1 it begins with the following rules:
The Civil War to be held in arena 14.
- The contest runs for 10-28 turns (barring ties).
- No tourney participation allowed. Teams with warriors participating in any
tournament are disqualified.
- An even number of teams per faction worked out by the Faction Leaders. No later
substitutions are allowed.
- If a manager brings in a second team and challenges into the contest he is DQ'd and
his side will fight one team short!
- Three factions will be participating: Andorian, Delarquan, Free Blades
- Everyone prefixes their warrior with A-, F-, or D- (No prefix = disqualification of
the warrior)
- Turn DA: (The DA Round) November 25, 2006. Every warrior must DA. (Warriors not
DA'd on Turn 0 are disqualified)
- Turn 0: December 9th, 2006. There will be no scoring this turn it is meant to
allow for challenges on turn 1.
- Turn 1+: Scoring as detailed below
- Each team gets 1 point for defeating a warrior from an opposing team.
- Fights against warriors on your team do not generate points in any situation.
- The team with the most points each turn gets a Battle Point (if there is a tie for
the most points then no Battle Points are accrued)
- The first team to 10 Battle Points wins the war
- Managers of teams on the winning side each receive a +1 bonus potion to be used on
a warrior on their contest team. This must be applied within a month of the
conclusion of the contest and the team must have been active on the last turn of
the contest.
Anyone wishing to participate, and feels they can probably stick around for the
duration (don't want to handicap a side, of course unforeseeable events cannot be
planned for), should either diplo me at THE DEATH SQUAD(63) in Tobir (arena 14) or
place a personal ad in the arena. You may also contact me via the Duel2.com boards!
Let me know which faction you would like to fight for! This contest is intended to
be open to ALL managers wishing to pit themselves against each other to try and
determine which faction has the best managers! -- Street Legal
14 September 2006
I am back in the arena and thinking back to those days in 1984 where I was a
novice and clueless manager.
Now, 22 years later it looks like I am an ancient and once again clueless
manager.
I am looking to recover some old warriors. Since none of them are Aimed Blows,
they are no threat to win anything. I just want to see how they turned out.
The Couatl 2-17
Madam Butterfly 20-701
Gypsy Moth 20-703
King Crab 21-1
Priestess Python 26-1388
Please contact me at DekeYoung@Comcast.net if you know about any of these ancient
warriors, or just want to bs about the old, old, old times.
