SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly SNOWBOUND games. AZAER caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested ROXANNE DE'MORRE and was awarded 14
points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, GILIA HARN put down
NEUMA, causing him to lose 10 points of recognition in the process. Most watched of
the fights this week, the spotlight was on HOLLAN INNIS as he bore arms against the
challenge of reigning Duelmaster YAIWE. The city has turned out in honor of HOLLAN
INNIS, for with his arena victory he may now lay claim to the highest position in the
city! Heed this! A seer has warned that if exactly 6 die in duels this week, the
whole city shall perish! Just remember...5 or 7!
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. Mighty fighters cannot but expect
competition from those below. HOLLAN INNIS take warning! You have more than a few
enemies in SNOWBOUND.
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the
miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off
city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember: a fool flies into a
rage quickly and often. The wise are angered by the same thing only once. Zontani

PERSONAL ADS
Super Grover -- Darn. I kept looking for trees, even though I KNOW you don't bring
them with you. It just seems like they should BE there. And they aren't. And the
distraction costs me the fight, and who's surprised at that? -- Ellita Fess
Stryker -- Bah, and also hummingbirds. -- Gilia Harn
Street Sign -- How awful! Who did it to you? And why, for that matter. After all,
one could always find a TREE to be a street sign, rather than (wince) neutering a
probably quite decent (though very tall) guy. Or gal, as the case might be. -- Cass
Dolan
Yaiwe -- Good work there, and I'm glad to see it. Now YOU can write a column. --
Fender Grale
P.S. And graduate already! Cheese.
No, I do NOT call M. Chardinee a warrior. I'm not sure what he IS, but I have my
suspicions. -- Hollan Innis
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
