SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, NORTH FORK? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. FLOATING PAST turned their 3-1-0 turn
into a 7th place rank in the listings this turn. Any better than this, and you get
put on hit lists. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see WENDY win a fight
and gain 16 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, WENDY beat THE WHISPER and THE WHISPER lost
10 points. You're breakin' my heart. MARATHON MAN challenged NORTH FORK's
Duelmaster for a shot at the throne. And it's out with the old, in with the new, as
MARATHON MAN takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh,
heh. 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, NORTH FORK?
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.
NORTH FORK, I am losing what little hope I had in you. BIG LAKE GROOVE the most
avoided team? What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And it looks like LAND OF OZ
avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me.
Hmph. SRIRACHA was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the
DM insulted or feared? Heh, heh. And we have STYLE EDITOR in a challenge, going
down 8 points for the fight. Guess what? I thought STYLE EDITOR showed great skill
and promise when he subdued CHINA PRINCESS. All right, so I slept through it! Big
deal!
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if
the fate catches up with you sooner that later?
What does the NORTH FORK arena have in common with the inns? It's just as
comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Well, I've had enough of this
drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. Paste
this one in your scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide
Clemens

The tournament info sheet is out and minioverviews are printing. We hope you're all
looking forward to it and that we will see you there!
HALLOWEEN TOURNAMENT UPDATE
It has come to our attention that a warrior, Voodoo Toad 85-14776, was sent to
the Dark Arena and slain in order to be classed as a Dead Challenger in this past
Halloween Tournament. As this warrior is a Zombie, this was against the rules because
immortal warriors may not challenge the Dark Arena. (An exception is granted so a
warrior may challenge the Dark Arena on his very last turn after receiving an
invitation to Advanced Duelmasters, so he can show his prowess with the Dark Arena
monsters, but this may not be used as a method of classing in the dead tournament if
he happens to die in the night fight.)
To correct this injustice, we changed the fight result for all warriors who
lost to Voodoo Toad to a win for that turn. This gave two warriors, Crazy 54 84-11494
of Crazy 88 15 and Sarokith 84-30929 of Dub O Dubs, an ending record of 8-3, which
grants them Tournament Victor status and resurrection.
We realize this is not a perfect solution but hope it will make some amends
for the warriors who lost to this misclassed warrior.
