SPY REPORT
Greetings, warriors of ARDIVENT! Once again I've been called out of retirement
for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting. Bein' on top is great while it
lasts, THE SOVEREIGN. But how many friends do you have now? What's with BROOKE
JONES? She actually beat ARDIVENT's AMBITIOUS GUARD, and walked away with 13 more
points from the fight. Laughs were big at FANDILS while they watched UNCLE LEROY
clobber FEHEADRAE. She lost 4 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the
stands. What a role model for ARDIVENT's young 'uns! CAPABLANCA becomes Duelmaster,
but don't bother to fight no more! I suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty
gossip about your fellow fighters? Tough!
Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... The most avoided team
was WE GOT GAME. Management must be dealin', as the boys at FANDILS ain't reelin'!
WE GOT GAME's mad!
A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters
don't accept this. The best do. Many a warrior has met his fate in a hungover
stupor. You young rapscallions, take note!
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here? Are
you as tired of reading this as I am of writing it? Actually, I guess I'm writing it
before you read it. Oh, well. Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and
good luck. Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen

Ghost of Jodi -- Guess we can after all go tease and fight the menfolk, let's go! --
Ghost of Lady Annabelle
WOF -- Thanks, old chap, well met indeed! Have you been keeping up with all of the
trash talking that's done in DM 33 Niatoli Isle? I have a spy there that's the most
challenged warrior, and he's only fought twice! -- Scorpio
Fandil -- Do you have a team there? -- Scorpio
I'm surprised Jorja doesn't, she has one damn near everywhere! -- Scorpio *winking*
Congrats to Capablanca, a fine Duelmaster. -- Fandil The Wise
Happy Peasant -- I hope you are still happy as it was a pleasant fight. -- Earl
Billy Joe -- Whoa! Your experience and skill showed through. I must have left mine
in the guildhouse. -- Mildred Leona
Well, gee, Alekhine, that wasn't so nice. Poor little Jodi was a 21-11-5-15-7-18-7,
good/poor, +1/3 Init, +1/4 Attack basher, and we will miss her. Another Red Sands
victim, created by her own challenge. -- WOF
Health. Humility. Honor. -- Fandil The Wise
P.S. Seemingly more humility than otherwise for The Fandils of late.
Uncle Leroy -- Yeah, but PLAID socks? Hideous. -- Rocksock Jones
Scorpio -- They've got us all out in our yards watching tornados. -- Jorja
P.S. And yes, you were correct in Rodeki. Harby and Spot are my alternate personas.
I used to have one for every arena, but it got to be too much trouble to keep track
of them. Those two... I just like 'em.
Two-three again this time, BUT no standbys. And ONE of those wins was MINE. --
Lorens Klu

SEAM (DM 20) REOPENS AS A NEW NO-TOURNEY ARENA!
Seam (DM 20) will be re-opening soon as a no-tourney DM arena! If you enjoy arena
play without tournament interference, this arena is for you! Only rookie teams may
enter this arena, and all managers must sign the "no-tourney" pledge. Turn 0 is due
on May 4 (overviews only) and Turn 1 is due on May 18.
To avoid confusion, all old inactive teams which were in Seam have travelled to
Mazgourrah (DM 77).
Seam is the newest arena to join the no-tourney group of arenas and will process on
opposite weeks with Shadowspire (DM 81), the original no-tourney arena. Other no-
tourney arenas include Telorinthe (DM 83), a slow arena, and Storm Rock (DM 107), for
ADM warriors.
Join in the fun! Send in your new rollup along with the pledge soon so you can get in
on the ground floor of this new arena!
********************************************************************************
NO-TOURNEY ARENA PLEDGE
* I pledge that I will not send warriors from this team to a tournament, nor
will I use a tournament prize on a warrior from this team.
* I pledge to run a full team when I run turns in this arena. If circumstances
preclude my running less than a full team, I will notify the Player Committee.
* I agree to abide by the decisions of the Player Committee.
* I understand that any warrior that participates in a tournament or receives
a tournament prize shall be sent to the Dark Arena until they are dead.
