Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to give you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport. The boys at BLITZKRIEG are walking tall, as they are ranked 2nd on their first try! Going for the Duelmaster soon? BIRDS had cause to celebrate, after OSTRICH got 17 points by beating JEHU. JEHU certainly had a baffled expression on his face, after losing to OSTRICH and losing 11 points in the process! PELICAN successfully staved off a grab for the roses by NOBLE ASSASSIN of KATI-TEI. Does KATI-TEI have no one talented enough to dethrone him? Word has it one team in KATI-TEI is taking speech lessons to try to bore their opponent to death. I'll bet it works. And how sociable are KATI-TEI's warriors? Come, let us see. Perhaps the warriors of WANDERERS should take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team... The warriors of WANDERERS found their efforts at combat frustrated as BIRDS apparently had more important things to do than fight. Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors. Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena. A certain tavern in KATI-TEI would I avoid! Do not think spyreporting in KATI-TEI is the highlight of my life. My fingers tire and I fear my incessant prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable character. KATI-TEI, I leave you now. The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Dripping Blade.

It's undignified. Mad Hatter -- Darn. I didn't mean to do that. I bet it was your hats. The mercury, you know. It makes you mad at FIRST, but basically, it's poisonous. And you succumbed. -- Tora Hamlin P.S. Okay, I admit, you probably wouldn't have succumbed TODAY if I hadn't hit you, but.... Oh, well. The Walrus -- That must be quite a toothache you're going to have there. -- Mars Jaywalkers are Bad. -- Bethanne Grace Ostrich -- Every time I defeat you, I hope I'll get a chance to bury your head in the sand, but so far, no luck. Life is hard. -- Jehu 10 January 2004 ZalCon2 Updates (1/9/04) The contest will be starting on the turn due February 23rd, 2004 and run for 20 turns. Only one team will be allowed for each manager in the contest, regardless of whether additional teams are announced as contest entries. No exceptions for any reason. The Style Master points should read that there is +1 point for beating a member of your own style even if the warrior is not registered for the contest. Rolling points for consecutive turns as Style Master means that your warrior gets the extra point every turn after the first 3 that he continues to hold the title. The points for Quality Wins should be clarified to read the winning warrior is ranked below by the number of recognition points needed for each bonus point at the start of the fight. For example, Warrior A (3-2-0, 17) beats Warrior B (4-1-0, 35) and receives 2 bonus points under Quality Win for the 18 point difference in the ranking. I believe that is all the clarifications for the moment, please feel free to email, diplo, call or write me with any other questions or concerns about the contest.

Asmo Dius, TCB 16 January 2004 CHAOTIC WINDS Once, long ago, the four Winds of Time descended upon Alastari like a TEMPEST of epic proportions, they slew everything within their all-encompassing reach. They left nothing. In their wake lay smoldering ruins. In their haste they sped towards the center of this great land like a colossal giant would step across an ocean. The four storms picked up momentum on their way towards each other. A collision was eminent. The first storm wind, the oldest and wisest of the four was named APEXALUS. The second, FLAGGSTAFF, was the quickest and loudest entity ever created. The third Wind of Time was MATRIATIN, neither old or young, quick or slow, but fierce and feisty all the same. The forth wind, ASSAMITHIUS, the youngest yet most creative in its means of destruction. When finally they merged at the center of ALASTARI, an incredible destructive explosion occurred. And when the smoke and debris cleared they were one. CHAOS was born. And Chaos spread across the diminished lands reeking havoc and doom with its passing, and destroying allover again that which already lay in ruin. F E A R C H A O S I N C.
