Sit back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis. Hey everybody, watch out for AZOR AHAI, who flew up 14 points in the rankings after mashing NEWLIN OHM like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. OLIVER QUEEN was bested by KUNG-FU MASTER and drops 8 points. Well, if ya don't shows up at the laundromat, ya can'ts wash yer clothes. FROZEN GHOST did not fight this week so his title was forfeit. It's a proud day for the GOT BLOOD? stable, as their warrior, AZOR AHAI, ascended the Duelmaster's throne. Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd! But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle! Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). Ask not the elves for counsel, for they will say both yes and no. Silly buggers, eh? Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in SNOWBOUND have no sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. Well, there goes another Spy Report. Good luck in next week's fights. Its been real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME AZOR AHAI 4015 6 0 0 80 GOT BLOOD?

The hotel reservation site is: http://tinyurl.com/RSIFTF64 This is prime season for Phoenix and the hotel tends to fill up quickly. 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. -- RSI
