SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of STORMCROWE! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Former top team MOJO P@TROL was
unseated this week as NORTHERN LIGHTS moved up from 6th ranking to take the top spot
with a 3-2-0 record for the round. Fortune did not smile upon MOJO P@TROL this time
out who this turn suffered a fall into 6th position in the wake of a 1-4-0 round.
Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner! Witness how this week
NORTHERN LIGHTS went 3-2-0 to move up 5 in the rankings. My praise to EMETICS for
their 3-1-0 week this time out. Indeed, it was a skillfully fought round deserving
of notice! DAGORA SAVON caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as she
skillfully bested HOT LIPS and was awarded 22 points in recognition. In one of the
week's more notable duels, DAGORA SAVON put down HOT LIPS, causing her to lose 18
points of recognition in the process. This time out MOTHER made hers bid for the
throne as she challenged THE SMELL OF IT in an all out contest of skill for
possession of the title! Although MOTHER made a valiant effort, it did not suffice
to topple the reign of victorious THE SMELL OF IT. No confirmation, but my sources
claim that the top team has gained their position using magical aids. Charmed
weapons perhaps?
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city STORMCROWE. My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in
STORMCROWE these days is MORDRED'S MADMEN. At least, most blades in town are looking
to avoid them. Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent
the better part of last week avoiding MORDRED'S MADMEN. Indeed it was DARQUE FORCES.
Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. CONVULSIVE HURL take
warning! You have more than a few enemies in STORMCROWE.
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! This week marked the last days of KOTHAS JAPFIN
who at 6-5-0 was dispatched to the Dark Arena by the command of MOJO P@TROL's
demanding management. Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena
there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
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 next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a
different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

All -- I'm not tha big fan of da Total Parrys. A good scum, how-some-ever, can be
worth its weight. -- Applejack
Vendetta Inc. -- Yous'ta know. Bloodfeuds...ain't forgot. -- A.
Myth O'Logy -- I didn't know there were Irish Orcs. And I'm not sure I approve,
either. Seems like it would add, ah, let's just say it might be a disastrous
combination. -- Shard
Kothas Japfin -- Next time I say I want to talk about cabbages and kings, maybe
you'll LISTEN properly. You wouldn't want me to discover that you're an oyster,
would you? -- Walrus
Embezzling Scribe? (shrieking) I got all dressed up to face the Embezzling Scribe?
It's an insult! -- Frostbite
Leatherhair -- You should stop using that greasy kid stuff. It's disgusting. --

all, and we know what THEY are like. -- Frostflare
Applejack -- You definitely cleaned house! -- Jorja, Northern Lights
P.S. Surfer Sam says "hi, and where are you when he needs you?" I'm not sure WHAT
he needed you for, possibly to help him clean out the wine cellar in his cabana.

Youngblood's Three and Out Contest
I would like to take this time to announce and invite all managers to compete in what
I think will be an awesome contest. If you haven't ever TC'd at a tourney before,
here is your chance. The contest will start Wednesday, December 1, 2004, but a
chance will be given November 17 to dark arena, only, any warrior that you do not see
fit to run in the contest. So now that I have your attention, here are the rules
(like you didn't know they were coming sooner or later).
1. Any manager participating can enter one team, only.
2. No sandbagging whatsoever. (I will keep up with it, every turn.)
3. No teams or warriors will be allowed to run after contest starts.
4. All warriors will run until they lose three times, after three losses they are
eliminated.
5. If a warrior sits out a turn, they are accounted with a loss in the contest.
This is to keep warriors with winning records from sitting out until the end of
the contest.
6. If a warrior is killed during the contest, the replacement cannot enter the
contest.
7. If a warrior is killed, bloodfeuding is allowed, but only by a warrior that is
active in the contest.
8. If a warrior is run after being eliminated, the manager is disqualified from the
contest, no questions asked.
9. Challenges are legal, up or down.
10. Contest will keep going until 1 warrior is left without three losses, and that
warrior, of course, is accounted the winner.
11. All managers participating will be asked to purchase a rollup certificate, to be
awarded to the winners of the contest.
<<<PRIZES>>>
As I have already said, and according to participation, rollups will be awarded
to the first and second place managers. So the majority and minority of the rollups
will be determined when all are accumulated.
Contest Champion--2 Faves prizes, and majority of rollup certificates
Contest Runner-up--1 Faves prize, and minority of rollup certificates
So once again I invite all managers old and new to participate in what should be
a fierce and challenging contest. <<<REMEMBER, FIRST OFFICIAL TURN OF THE CONTEST IS
DECEMBER THE FIRST, AND AS I SAID BEFORE, THE TURN BEFORE (NOVEMBER 17TH) YOU MAY
DARK ARENA CHALLENGE ONLY!!! ANY WARRIOR WITH ANY FE (FIGHT EXPERIENCE) WHEN THE
CONTEST STARTS WILL BE ELIMINATED FROM THE CONTEST.
