SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
NIGHT SLAUGHTERTON brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Now keep the taverns open
late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for WOB AFW, whose 0-0-0 this turn
dropped them by 8 into 12th. Ha! BOOK OF THOMAS turned their 3-1-1 turn into a 4th
place rank in the listings this turn. Any better than this, and you get put on hit
lists. Now let's all watch BIG LAKE KILLERS' heads swell from their 3-1-1 this turn.
Haa ha ha ha! Big shots, big talk, big deal. Of course, we're all terribly
impressed to see ATTICUS PINSCHER win a fight and gain 22 points, terribly. Tsk,
tsk, ATTICUS PINSCHER beat RIME-ANCIENT MARINER and RIME-ANCIENT MARINER lost 16
points. You're breakin' my heart. JACK MCCHOW challenged NIGHT SLAUGHTERTON's
Duelmaster for a shot at the throne. And if variety is the spice of life, NIGHT
SLAUGHTERTON may be getting bland, as SWISS ALP stays top dog in the city. I'm not
in a very good mood today, but why am I telling you this? You want to know what's
new, don't you, NIGHT SLAUGHTERTON?
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.
What's the big D? MAIDEN JAPAN was the most avoided team? Bunch of lily livered...
grumble... mumble... curse... And it looks like INTERNATIONAL avoided them the most
this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph. RIME-ANCIENT
MARINER was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the DM
insulted or feared? Heh, heh. BATTLE WAGON was challenged by one of BIG LAKE
KILLERS' warriors this turn, with EDMUND KEMPER having a lead of 31 points going into
the fight. Question now is, will NIGHT SLAUGHTERTON accept this sort of tacky
behavior? EDMUND KEMPER beating BATTLE WAGON. The insult, the....yech!
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for NIGHT
SLAUGHTERTON's morgue. More variety. Gee, LA BOULANGE, ain't it past due for
sending GLUTEN FREE Dark Arena? What took ol' '7-4-0' so long? Hope? Ha ha aha ha!
LA BOULANGE has cause to pause today, as OUTSIDER was sent to the Dark Arena, and
came back--though not in the best of moods, I'll wager. And now a passing thought on
a warrior dying young (HONG KONG of INTERNATIONAL): You had your chance and now
you're dead. Oh well... Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through
use. Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.
What does the NIGHT SLAUGHTERTON arena have in common with the inns? It's just
as comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Just wait 'till next time I
show up here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah! Paste this one in your scrapbooks,
you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens

From: The Office of Accurate Census Reporting, Gladiatorial Commission
To: All Managers
In the interest of preserving our natural resources and preventing managerial writer's
cramp, the census form has been eliminated, effective immediately. Managers may
register their warriors' races and/or favorite sayings by simply writing them on a
separate piece of paper and submitting them to the Commission. Each warrior may have
up to 15 favorite sayings. Each saying must be categorized Jeer, Gloat, Boredom, Ouch,
Victory and may be up to 70 characters long. For any questions, please contact the
Gladiatorial Commission.
Name Change-o-Rama -- Final Update
Algernon looked at the goats and sighed. No doubt it was a Good Deed to give
goats to people who wanted them. But why did the goats have to be gathered in HIS
office? Four of them, and they were a lot like gladiators: not smelly maybe, they
were clean goats, but pushy and sure they were the most important thing around. Maybe
they should be enrolled in the arena? No, there were only four, not enough for a
team.
He shook his head to clear it of the image of armored goats with sharpened horns.
One thing at a time. He pulled a piece of paper out of his desk drawer, dipped his
pen in the ink, and began to write.
"It is our pleasure and honor to note that ninety-eight gladiators and teams have
elected to change their names, supporting the contribution of goats to deserving
people. With the Commission's matching funds, this has purchased four goats--a good
goat can't be purchased for a copper, you know. The goats are already en route to
their new homes, where they will be--" He paused and thought about it. "--very
welcome. We wish all the best to the goats and the new goat-owners."
TEAM AND CHARACTER MAINTENANCE SERVICE
As a service to all managers, we offer team and character maintenance. This
option allows you to make sure your team or selected warriors will never miss a turn!
Team Maintenance: This will cause all warriors on that team to fight every
turn; if it's an AD arena, any new warriors who arrive on that team will
fight the turn they arrive. In A.D. or in transfer arenas where you have
multiple teams, each team will need to separately be on Team Maintenance.
(The only exception is new warriors; they will not fight until they have had
their initial strategy input.)
Character Maintenance: This will cause only that warrior to fight every
turn. If the character graduates or changes arenas, he/she/it will stay on
Character Maintenance.
In either case, you may submit strategy sheets for your warriors each turn, if
you wish. The Team/Character Maintenance will make sure your warriors fight each
turn, and they will always use their most recently entered strategy.
Remember that challenges, avoids, and challenge/if challenged strategies will not
carry through from turn to turn. These sections are only used on the turn they are
entered. In order to continually challenge or avoid you will need to submit a
strategy sheet each time.
One other thing to remember about maintenance: Maintenance is not something
that you write on your turnsheet (like in demo tourneys). In order to add or remove
maintenance for a team or warrior, you must send a note to Customer Service. If you
just write things like this on your strategy sheet, they may or may not get done.
Likewise, don't write it on your personal ads. Please, please, please put it on a
separate piece of paper with "Customer Service" written on the top. If you don't,
well, you can imagine.
Thanks for your time. Good luck in Duelmasters! -- Green Eyes
