SPY REPORT
Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills? Well
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for VEASTIAN. MVP award for SPACE BABOON?
KORGAN CRUSADE's proud of him after beating DART and getting 17 points. Talk about
yer major upsets! DART's match with SPACE BABOON cost him a loss of 14 points! And
I was just getting used to the ex-Duelmaster's habit of...(!) Oh well, welcome
RAYEK. Aren't WOLF RIDERS proud. (Oh, my.) I hear the top team insists all their
warriors get nine hours sleep. They want photogenic fighters for PR photos.
AAARRGH!!! I HATE SPYREPORTING!!! Sorry. I just had to say it.
Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All VEASTIAN ever talks about is fighting!
Me, I'm more laid back. What if they had a fight and nobody showed up? I'd be out
of a job, that's what!!!
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I gotta leave. VEASTIAN is like such a dump, and you guys smell too much! I
had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Ghost of Treestump -- Hey, sorry man. Killing you like that was a little TOO
naughty--even for me. Fortunately I have forgiven myself. But how's this? I'll
make you SAINT Treestump. The least I can do. -- The Naughty Pope
Swordbreaker -- I figured if I dropped it, you'd leave it alone. Glad I was right,
that's my GOOD sword. -- Nhavarl
Face Breaker -- You don't like my face, look the other way! -- Stiltz
Prednizone -- I don't do drugs. Peppermint tea, that's all I need. -- Carline
Ambitious Guard? Pooh. -- Tiro Cococo
Ribsplitter -- You're going to have to work on your jokes if you want to split any
ribs, boy. -- Tiro Cuckoo
Ed. -- Certainly not! I am above bananas. -- Tiro Cococo
Then I hope you're not afraid of heights. -- Ed.
Soultender -- Ah, well, let's hear it for obstinance. Sometimes that gets you
farther than bunny-hugs. -- Carline
It's been a while since I missed a turn here. I won't make a habit of it. -- Jack
Wolfspider
In case anyone is wondering, Skunny Wendy is an anglicization of Iroquois folklore.
Among his other practical jokes, he once convinced an entire village that they would
be safe from disease if they all simultaneously defecated in their longhouses. He
thought that was pretty funny. What a kidder! -- Jack Wolfspider
8 December 2003
Greetings! I would like to invite everyone to Jhans (DM 36) for the first annual kLk
St. Valentine's Day Massacre (kill contest). We will start the contest off with the
ceremonial burning of the Andorian flag on turn 450. (Six turns away. Roughly mid-
February.) The contest will run for 10 turns. On turn 461, 3 separate victors will
be announced. Team with the most kills, warrior with the most kills, and alliance
with the most kills. Prizes will be awarded to the manager of the team with the most
kills and to the manager of the warrior with the most kills. The prizes will
probably be team roll-ups. The number of roll-ups has yet to be determined. The
contest is sponsored by Jhans' newest, (but by the time the contest starts) largest
alliance, the kLk (pronounced "klick"). -- Polarius, mgr. of Blitzkrieg DM 36

TOURNEY FREEZE CHANGE -- ADVANCE NOTICE
Beginning at the Winter Face-to-Face in Tempe (January 2004), we will implement
several changes affecting tournaments. The tournament announcement for the upcoming
FTF and future tourneys will reflect these changes.
First, we will eliminate the tourney freeze for all regular DM warrior classes.
Regular DM warriors will not be classed ahead of the tournament, but instead will
fight according to their FE on the date of the tourney. There will still be a freeze
for the ADM classes, occurring on the same timeline as before, approximately 6 weeks
before the tournament.
In addition to the above change, the warrior classes will be slightly altered.
The new tourney classes will be as follows:
DM Tourney Classes ADM Tourney Classes
====================== ======================
0 FE: Rookies Freshmen
1-4 FE: Apprentices ADM
5-10 FE: Initiates Eligibles
11-20 FE: Adepts ---induction---
21-30 FE: Champions Contenders
31+ FE: Challengers Primus
All regular DM tourney classes will remain solely FE based. All ADM classes will
now be based on warrior characteristics (i.e., the ADM split algorithm), including the
Freshmen class.
The Gateway and Primus arenas will be merging before the FTF to form one top
arena. These warriors will be split into two tournament classes, the Contenders and
the Primus classes, again based upon their characteristics. More information on this
will be published in the newsletters for those arenas.
If you have any questions about the above changes, please contact Customer
Service. Good luck in your games.
