SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last
week's fights. Hey everybody, watch out for DEATH'S DOORMAN, who flew up 16 points
in the rankings after mashing QUINORE like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. And
falling like a basher in the top ten was FORANDIN, who dropped 9 points after a
disappointing (to say the least) bout with SKIN ZESTER. It's a proud day for the THE
PLAGUE stable, as their warrior, SHADOW OUT OF TIME, ascended the Duelmaster's
throne. Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff?
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
Did you hear that WONDERLAND was most avoided team this week? Well, knowing the
personal hygiene of WONDERLAND's warriors, I'm not surprised! For those of you who
like math, try this one: WONDERLAND + Weapons That go Boom = MEDAL OF HONOR 26 +
Avoid City.
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Remember: alliances are great,
but try and take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens.
Well, there's the manager of the KATI-TEI giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). Well, there goes another Spy Report.
Good luck in next week's fights. And remember, you can pick your friends and you can
pick your--(loud boos), oh, you've heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster

Alice -- You are fortunate I'm not a red queen! Of course, it would be more helpful
for YOU if you had some clue what you were supposed to be doing. I do NOT understand
how you can have that particular problem. Even our manager wouldn't do that...well,
not usually. Still, a chance to win is always a good thing, so I suppose I shouldn't
be complaining. -- Quinore, feeling talkative after too much caffeine
Skin Zester -- Er...um...okay. My skin is all zesty now. Itches like crazy, if you
want to know. Don't do it again, okay? I don't think I can take any more zest than
this. -- Valgard
White Knight -- (bursting into tears) You aren't MY white knight or you wouldn't
have (bawling loudly) HIT me! Where is MY white knight? What did you DO with him,
you fiend? -- Chericille
Huh, I never trust a scribe, especially not a dwarf! Wham, bam, break his fingers,
stab him with his dagger, that'll teach him! -- Forandin
Josem Green, Beggar by Trade -- I don't CARE what you set out to be, you punk! It's
what you settled for being in the end that counts, and you count low low low on the
"gotta respect 'em" scale. -- Valgard
Tobie Stone, Constable desiring a Friend -- Er, you might work on your approach to
other guys, if you want them for friends. That kind of thing MIGHT work with the
women, but we really don't go for it, you know? -- Forandin
P.S. And these days, most women don't, either.

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.
25 September 2006
It is obvious that the Dark Knights wish to be shown the light. Allow me to step
forward and blind them with truth. YOU ARE WORTHLESS!!! The Dark Knights are so
afraid of the light that they hide behind their black armor and empty threats. It is
too bad they are unwilling to actually FIGHT us! I guess our natural light is too
bright for you all to face! Fear us, for we are here! -- Gemini Goldphoenix,
Overlord of the Avengers of Light!

Captain of the alliance he/she has claimed for;
3. Only one (1) team per player may compete. NO multiple aliases please.

4. The contest will begin on the turn following the January F2F and run for 12
turns.
5. The turn a declaration and verification will begin the scoring process.

Champions:
a. Champions may be declared, but are not mandatory. If declared, the Champion
must be in the Adepts or lower brackets on the turn they are declared
without having gone above the Adepts bracket at any time...including
transferred teams. (I'll be watching for this occurrence!)
Bloodfeuds:
a. Bloodfeuds count for all four (4) turns. However, the same warrior may not
be used all four turns. 4 turns means 4 separate warriors. A penalty of
-10 will be given to the team who violates this.

e. Dark Arena may be used on the first turn of every warrior with no penalty
(this means a warrior with 0 FE).

tourney reports are posted in the NL.
g. TCs won after the contest begins gain a 50 point one time score with the
same conditions as noted for TVs.
h. NO switching alliance once verified by an alliance that a team has declared
for.
i. Only 7 teams are permitted per alliance for the Turf War 5.
PRIZES:
Turf Wars are a "Winner Takes All" type contest. All prizes and 100% of the RU
Certs will be given to the Captain of the winning alliance and it is his/her
responsibility to give these to the alliance membership.
I have requested from RSI the following:
a. renaming of the orth Fork (DM 47) arena;
b. renaming of Dark Arena Monsters;
c. known favourite rhythms for one warrior on each team of the winning
alliance. This warrior would be in the Initiates or above brackets on the
last turn of the Turf War (they must have at least one arena fight to
receive this award).
Baphomet, Host of TW5
Special Note: A downchallenge is considered from a higher bracket to a lower
bracket. Same bracket, more recognition points? Not a downchallenge!
