TEAM SPOTLIGHT
The crowds parted as the heavily armed group of warriors moved toward them. Each wore
a black cload covered in mystic runes that radiated with a pale blue luminosity. From
the opposite end of the road, a galloing war horse thundered toward them. The rider's
black runed cloak flowed behind him as he charged.
Just before the impending collision, the horse reared and bellowed a triumphant
greeting.
"I haven't seen him before..." whispered a nearby loyal fan of the Runecloaks, as the
huge warrior dismounted from his great warsteed.
A hooded gaze shifted toward the crowd, and they were met with blazing red eyes.
After but a second's assessment, the man turned his attention back to the others
before him.
"Rune says you've disappointed him, Jaedi. I'm in command now." The grating, rouch
voice carried far.
"Hunh? I won!" Jaedi started. "Why?"
"You better win again. Last chance." The man growled, as he walked past. He nodded
with respect to one of the other cloaded men as he passed. "Okori, I've got some
things to show you. Follow."
As they walked off down the road, one of the cloaded figures leaned over to Okori.
"Do you know him? What's his name?"
The gray-skinned golem pulled back his hood and replied. "I know him. He's the
Boss."

Almost everyone that is declared has sent in RU Certs, so I thank each of you for your
promptness. Be sure to declare in the NL, send me a diplo, or an email with your

SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in STORMCROWE this turn, and let's
start with a look at some of the teams. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for
there are sorrows to drown for BOOK OF THOMAS, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by
8 into 13th. ICE-N-FIRE stable has parlayed this turn's 4-1-0 into a 9 space move up
the rankings. This brings them up to 5th place. Good work, guys! The FORCE OF FIVE
guild has had a 4-1-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You never know
where this kind of thing can lead. And let's see, LONESOME FOX fought EMBEZZLING
SCRIBE and gained 16 points and contributed to TIME STALLYANS' 1-1-0. RAYNOR has
lost to ROAD TRIP, falling 8 points, while helping make KNIGHT BREED a 2-3-0 turn.
The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and SCANDAL SAVAGE remains
STORMCROWE's top warrior for another turn. By the way, was that our Duelmaster that
I saw last night, cramped under the table at The Shadow's Fountain?
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one. I also notice that the DESCENDENTS OF
DARK stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on STORMCROWE, what are you
afraid of? And avoiding DESCENDENTS OF DARK more than any other team we find KNIGHT
BREED. STORMCROWE, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? Well,
sports fans, take notice that LADY MACDEATH from DARQUE FORCES was STORMCROWE's most
challenged warrior this turn.
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. This is not good to see. Why pray tell has JAEDI been sent to the Dark
Arena by RUNECLOAKS? And why with a 2-0-0 record?? A brave warrior does not carry a
red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
I like this place, STORMCROWE, the taverns have old wine, and young serving
girls. Who could ask for more? It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet
again, keep your swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until you see my quill in
STORMCROWE again, farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

yourself. -- Rune

Stormcrowians -- This is your official declaration that the squad "The Database
Editors" will be participating in your little Slaughterhouse contest. My name is Den

To all the managers of this great arena, here in the city of Stormcrowe, I would like
to extend my most heartfelt greetings. My name is Sin Zoo and I am the manager and
trainer of the 1st Division. I have decided to answer the call for teams to
participate in the Stormcrowe Slaughterhouse V tournament. The culling of the
applicants for the 1st Division stable has been time consuming, but my team is
continuing their training abroad. I will be teaming up with the great Catalyst and
his 3rd Mech stable to form the squad that will go down in history ... good or bad ...
as The Roughnecks. I have contacted Master Darque with our intent and mailed the
necessary application fees. I hope that the postal system between Trocar and here
have been reliable. Thank you, Master Darque, for the invitation and our inclusion in
this tournament and I look forward to our squad's participation (and acknowledgement)
in this melee. As for the other managers who have teams that are to be part of this
grand combat ... do not take it easy on our newly formed teams. Catalyst and I
believe that our warriors learn even more in the messiest of defeats. Semper Fi and
may the blood flow freely. -- Sin Zoo (1st Division and one half of The Roughnecks)
Greetings Stormcrowe, Studcraft and I will be joining forces for the upcoming
challenge. I will be running Simpletons. Studcraft will manage Battleships. Our
alliance will be named Captains of Industry. I wish you all the worst of luck. Deeders

MAKING YOUR CHALLENGES GO THROUGH
First, you need to be sure you are making your challenges correctly.
1. Are you writing down the warrior I.D. number of the warrior you want to
challenge?
2. Is your handwriting clear?
3. Is the warrior you are challenging within range of your warrior? Warriors
can challenge within their own class and the next higher class, plus the "Challenger"
classes can also challenge the next lower class. So, an Adept can challenge Adepts
and Challenger Adepts. A Challenger Adept can challenge Adepts, Challenger Adepts,
and Champions. (Try not to challenge down, though. Besides being unsportsmanlike and
making everyone mad, it isn't advantageous to your warriors. They need to fight more
experienced warriors so they will learn.)
4. Are your warriors eligible to make challenges? If they didn't fight within
the last two turns, then they can't challenge.
5. Are the warriors they want to fight eligible to receive challenges? If they
didn't fight within the last two turns, then they can't be challenged.
Next, adjust your choices for the maximum likelihood of getting your challenges.
There are several things that will help:
1. Have each of your warriors challenge two different opponents from two
different teams. That way, if the first opponent's team doesn't fight that turn, you
still might get your second challenge.
2. Use your avoids. Have each warrior avoid the teams of whoever you think
might be likely to challenge him. If you can get out of being challenged, that
increases your chance of getting your own challenge through.
3. Don't challenge warriors who didn't fight last turn. The odds are higher
that they won't be fighting this turn.
4. Don't challenge warriors who might be involved in a bloodfeud (either as the
killers, or the avengers). A bloodfeud challenge has priority over all other
challenges.
5. Don't challenge Tournament Victors. A TV challenge has priority over all
other challenges except bloodfeuds. You'll need to do a little research in back
issues of the newsletter to find out who the TVs are.
6. Don't challenge warriors who you know are going to challenge someone else, or
are going to get challenged by someone else. Your challenge has a better chance of
getting through if it is the only challenge to that particular warrior.
7. Don't challenge the "easy pickings." That is, warriors above you who have
way too few fights or very bad records for where they are ranked. They will tend to
get challenged a lot.
8. Don't challenge warriors who are likely to be avoiding your team. This
includes any warrior your team fought within the last two turns.
Well, it sounds like I've eliminated just about everybody, doesn't it? Of course
you can challenge opponents who fit into one or more of those categories; just try to
find ones who don't. Your idea candidate for a challenge is: A warrior ranked
somewhat above your warrior in the same class, or in the next higher class, with a few
more fights than your warrior, and a winning record, who isn't a TV and isn't
currently at war with anyone.
I hope this will be of some help to you.
