SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly SNOWBOUND games. Former top team DARK SIDHE was
unseated this week as MESOPOTAMIA moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with
a 4-1-0 record for the round. Did only my eyes note the 4-1-0 record which
MESOPOTAMIA managed to post this round? I don't doubt that such a record will draw
challengers! In one of the week's more notable duels, THE USEROUS MERCHANT put down
EVALON ELKHORN, causing him to lose 7 points of recognition in the process. Due to
his absence and inability to defend the throne, AZAER has lost the title of
Duelmaster. This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper. All hail ROXANNE
DE'MORRE, Duelmaster of SNOWBOUND! Informants "close" to the city champion have told
me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor. Watch out!
Many and various are the arts of battle. In SNOWBOUND "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language! Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and
it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after CASS DOLAN. Watch your
back! A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that
CUNEIFORM posted a challenge against the more highly recognized IRINA JASSE. The
results, you ask? Well, the firebrand CUNEIFORM beat IRINA JASSE. Remember
warriors, this is the discipline of steel.
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins.
In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
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 - the pen is mightier
than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Pyropa -- Holger may like the color of your hair, but he's a guy. I
like it that you lost that fight, though you made a very respectable
showing first. Drinks on me if you care to indulge. -- Petra Quord
Dragoul -- Which of us made that dumb comment about godly
protection? Was it me? Damn, it was. I really walked into that
mess, didn't I? The gods just HATE it when we take 'em for granted.
-- Cass Dolan
Consort of Apsu -- I hope I'm still around when you reach high enough
to fight the Venomous Concubine. That would be some kind of classic
personal combat. -- Irina Jasse
Siduri -- Ah, tall and beautiful AND dangerous, how can I resist you?
-- Gobert Hinny, smitten
P.S. I know they have me listed as Kannar, but I've got a lot of
Shewish blood myself, as you can see.
Kingu -- (crossly) I hope your queenu hits you upside the head. --
Holger Irsin

All -- I support Vendetta Cartel's observation of The Dark Knights! If war is
declared on V.C. by The Dark Knights, then war is also declared on The Dark Knights
of the Desolate Empire by The Avengers of Light! We have been quietly awaiting such
a chance to expose ourselves (all interested parties contact me c/o The Barbarians:
DM 31, Attn: Timothias)! Come, Vendetta Cartel, let us show these broke-down
"Knights" what true warriors are! -- Gemini Goldphoenix, Overlord of The Avengers of
Light
26 August 2006
The Avengers of Light. Another VC lackey? What's the matter VC, are you scared?
Bringing in reinforcements. It matters not, bring your avengers and they shall be
crushed! I am Dark Knight Blackstorm and I represent the Desolate Empire and can
easily be found in 8, 28, 31, 47, 54, and 106. I reply with steel and your women
shall cry when they start the body count!!!!!!!!! Remember to sign your posts to
whoever from the VC wrote that earlier Ad. -- Dark Knight Blackstorm

Civil War/The Crusades
The next edition of the Civil War series is to be held in Tobir, arena 14, beginning
November 25th with a round where all participating managers must DA all 5 of their
warriors; in addition all warriors must be prefixed with an A an F or a D in the
following manner: A-Broke Stroker or (A) Broke Stroker. Names simply beginning with
the letter of your federation will NOT count as properly prefixed! Existing teams
are welcome but no warrior who survives the DA who had prior Fight Experience (arena
or tourney) will be allowed to score or challenge into the contest teams. There will
be an equal number of teams set up for each of the three factions (Andorian, Free
Blades, and Delarquan) to create sides as equal as possible. This along with the DA
round should set up pretty equal footing for all managers. After the DA there will
be another round where you can either DA again or fight your new, or surviving,
warriors so they will be set up to challenge an opponent beginning on round 1. So as
a recap DA round, turn 0, then turn 1 it begins with the following rules:
The Civil War to be held in arena 14.
- The contest runs for 10-28 turns (barring ties).
- No tourney participation allowed. Teams with warriors participating in any
tournament are disqualified.
- An even number of teams per faction worked out by the Faction Leaders. No later
substitutions are allowed.
- If a manager brings in a second team and challenges into the contest he is DQ'd and
his side will fight one team short!
- Three factions will be participating: Andorian, Delarquan, Free Blades
- Everyone prefixes their warrior with A-, F-, or D- (No prefix = disqualification of
the warrior)
- Turn DA: (The DA Round) November 25, 2006. Every warrior must DA. (Warriors not
DA'd on Turn 0 are disqualified)
- Turn 0: December 9th, 2006. There will be no scoring this turn it is meant to
allow for challenges on turn 1.
- Turn 1+: Scoring as detailed below
- Each team gets 1 point for defeating a warrior from an opposing team.
- Fights against warriors on your team do not generate points in any situation.
- The team with the most points each turn gets a Battle Point (if there is a tie for
the most points then no Battle Points are accrued)
- The first team to 10 Battle Points wins the war
- Managers of teams on the winning side each receive a +1 bonus potion to be used on
a warrior on their contest team. This must be applied within a month of the
conclusion of the contest and the team must have been active on the last turn of
the contest.
Anyone wishing to participate, and feels they can probably stick around for the
duration (don't want to handicap a side, of course unforeseeable events cannot be
planned for), should either diplo me at THE DEATH SQUAD(63) in Tobir (arena 14) or
place a personal ad in the arena. You may also contact me via the Duel2.com boards!
Let me know which faction you would like to fight for! This contest is intended to
be open to ALL managers wishing to pit themselves against each other to try and
determine which faction has the best managers! -- Street Legal
