SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, STORMCROWE? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Later days, DARQUE FORCES, since
SUPERIOR FORCES took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. Of course,
we're all terribly impressed to see LULU win a fight and gain 20 points, terribly.
Tsk, tsk, LULU beat MALDROIT MABEL and MALDROIT MABEL lost 19 points. You're
breakin' my heart. ALICE OSBORNE challenged STORMCROWE's Duelmaster for a shot at
the throne. And if variety is the spice of life, STORMCROWE may be getting bland, as
HOT LIPS stays top dog in the city. The Shadow's Fountain, humph! I've tasted
better ale at mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From STORMCROWE's trash
dumps?
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys. ZOEY
was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the DM insulted or
feared? Heh, heh. I guess I can give a little credit to SHADOW STALKER of THE LORDS
OF WAR for challenging up by 22 to ZOEY. SHADOW STALKER lost to get 39 points of
recognition.
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for STORMCROWE's
morgue. More variety. We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if the fate
catches up with you sooner that later?
There's got to be a better place in STORMCROWE to get a drink than The Shadow's
Fountain! Any suggestions? Phlllt! Just had to do that before I leave the fine
city of STORMCROWE. I feel much better now. Glad to see the back of this place--
Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
Persistent Beggar -- Enjoyed the workout; was fun. We must try it again soon. --
Jara
ASU -- Congrats on your win. It won't be that easy the next time. -- Cara
Zoey -- You did good. However, I'm still alive and I'm looking forward to seeing you
on the sands soon. -- Shadow Stalker
All -- Once again I'm sorry to hear about Rich. I'm sure he was a good manager and
friend to most of you. Sincerely, Chris Seals, AKA Warriorlord.
Jeanie Vorhes -- Zoey? ...cute little Zoey's an ork too!?! How's it everyone knew
that besides me? -- Aunty Macassar
All -- Three orks?!? -- Applejack
P.S. She's not dat cute.
Raggedy Ann -- That got raggedier and raggedier minute by minute. -- Bertha
Shadow Stalker -- Ork Power. There was so much Ork horn blowing going on, I figured
the high road was my ticket. But, now that I'm found out.... -- Zoey
Alice Osborne -- You always disconcert me, because you don't LOOK like a madman. Mad
you might be, I'm no judge of that--too much of it around, you know, but you don't
look like a man. In fact, you look quite a woman. -- Shard
Colour Commentator -- I keep expecting you to have good comments, or should they be
commentations? And then you don't say anything. What color is that? -- Walrus
P.S. Maybe I should get some personal comments, maybe when bored I should suggest
that we discuss cabbages and kings....
Amy Yates -- So, call yourself a man, do you? This is an outrage to the feminist
movement. It's as much as saying that you'd rather be a man than a woman, that men
are somehow SUPERIOR to women, which, as we all know, is NOT TRUE. It's a vile
canard put about by men to conceal their inferiority. The dogs. Ha! -- Frostbite
A Talent Scout -- I can sing, does that count? -- Frostflare
Lulu -- You're not darque enough yet. -- Icelinia
P.S. There is a single white male orc down in sunset looking for a female same. You
could always...move.
Warrior Lord -- Sorry, you'll just see my warriors on the sands. I gave up active
gladiating some years ago. -- Lady Protector (retired) Jorja
Mabel -- I propped it open with a cabbage. More useful than kings, cabbages are. --
Walrus
And they pickle better, or so I assume (never having tried to pickle a king). --
Ed.
4 May 2005
Several questions have been asked about Slaughter's Challenge that I'd like to
address and clarify.
1) All Prizes must be used on the contest team, this includes the resurrection.
Remember any fast arena team should be able to transfer to a slow arena
(except for arena 82, I believe).
2) Warriors will be allowed to fight and run in the dead tourney, should there
be one, and return if an opening can be made without breaking the rules
(i.e. only one DA fight allowed per team).
3) If you win your single DA match you do not get another. It's one use of the
Dark Arena win or lose so if you want him/her/it dead be sure and throw the
match!
4) The resurrection potion's longevity has been extended by the commission to 6
months but the other potions (favorites, and +1 bonus) must still be used
within 2 turns and on a 5 FE or higher warrior. The resurrection can go on
any warrior regardless of FE.
Street Legal
P.S. My thanks to those already entered (Hammer, The Consortium, Tripwire, Stik, and
Shaman) and hope many more find a reason to come to arena 54. Again, my email is
triumph1971@hotmail.com or you can diplo me in arena 14 at THE DEATH SQUAD (63) if
you need more info!

Amendment for "Fratsfas Quest for the Best!"
Managers that have teams already established in Fratsfa need not have (3) three
warriors in the initiates. FE will NOT be a factor. Stables may be entered at any
time. Just announce your stable in the p-ads.
***************************************************************************
This in my invitation to all managers who wish to prove their mettle against
managers from all over Alastari. We have limited TP's in this contest to one a team
at a time. We DO NOT want this contest to become a scum fest as many others have,
hence the Andorian arena. Good luck to all who come to prove their skills. "May
your enemies' blood flow freely" -- Dark Knight Toker, Desolate Empire Alliance
