                               THE ROAD LEADS THROUGH

Tricorus:

     "I do not believe I will ever fully understand this obsession of yours," Chi'en 
commented, following behind her comrade.  She had her hand upon her katana and was 
gingerly side-stepping and moving backwards now and then as she turned and surveyed 
the streets around her.
     "I'm beginning to think you might not..." Lyssa noted.  "However, I am glad 
you're willing to put up with my 'obsession'."
     "If I were not confident in my skills in aijitsu and gladiatorial combat, I 
would have insisted on passing around this town.  It is notorious for its organized 
crime," the Palani replied, turning her head this way and that in the twilight gloom.
     Lyssa continued to march straight towards the arena, her post in hand.  "First 
Talcama, then Bonsur, now Tricorus.  What do you think will come of my drive by 
postings of Andorian virtue?"  The Lady Protector did not seem to have Chi'en's 
apprehension, her voice and stride as calm as if chatting on a spring day in the 
Aruaki countryside.
    "I do not have the arrogance to predict future consequences," came the response 
as Chi'en glared steadily at a shifty man close by in an alley.
    "I'm sure you could guess..."
    "Of course I can guess.  I would guess that some sensitive Delarquan manager from 
Bonsur or Talcama will hire thugs from this dirty, backwater crimehave to hunt us 
down and exact some form of retribution," the reply came, matter-of-factly.
    "Oh really...?"
    "Although I would not expect the consequences to catch up with us until somewhere 
in the Osksi Empire."
    "Well then, let us get on with it."  Lyssa stepped up to the Tricorus arena and 
found the location where personal ads are posted and tacked her parchment up.  
"There, done.  That was easy enough.  Let's go, no point in stopping in this pit."
    "Agreed..."
    Lyssa and Chi'en continued on their way out of Tricorus, following the long road 
home to the Andorian Kingdom.

                                      SPY REPORT

     You elder fighters surely remember me.  The younger ones may call me Olaf 
Modeen.  I return to TRICORUS once again!  Biff!  Pow!  TRICORUS watched with glee as 
SORROW'S HARVEST got knocked off top spot by DARK HORSEMEN!  Welcome to TRICORUS, 
FROM BEYOND!  We need more teams who can get a 4-1-0 their first time out!  What's 
with BARJIN?  He actually beat AMAZON ELITE's BELLONA, and walked away with 23 more 
points from the fight.  Major screwup at AMAZON ELITE.  BELLONA lost 14 points to 
BARJIN.  Some new strategies, perhaps?  Maybe BELLONA will provide more easy wins...  
Har har har!  Did LURCH wimp out, or just get lazy?  Anyway, he's not Duelmaster 
anymore.  I'm sure TRICORUS is excited about REIDI, the new Duelmaster from DARK 
HORSEMEN.  (remember?)  But when you've seen as many as I have...  I suppose you want 
to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters?  Tough!   
     No matter the time or place, men will always duel.  What do people see in 
TSOMEGH?  His 10-8-1?  DARK HORSEMEN ain't talkin', but he's got 56 points.  TSOMEGH 
didn't quite know what to make of a challenge he received from GARGANTUAN APHID of 
SORROW'S HARVEST, who is 21 points below him.  GARGANTUAN APHID perhaps got its just 
desserts, seeing as it was beat by TSOMEGH and ended up with 23 recognition points.   
     Warriors of TRICORUS unite.  You have only your games to lose!  Here's some 
advice:  study your opponent, master many skills, fight dirty.   
     Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors.  Any plans here?  
TRICORUS is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places.  I don't 
want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

Hail Tricorus!  It has been many seasons since my warriors fought on these sands.  
Much has changed here.  I'm afraid my warriors are a bit long in the tooth, but I may 
give these old-timers a shot or two against you before I cast them aside.  I'm off to 
re-teach them a thing or two and whip them into something resembling respectable 
shape. -- Kayelbe, mgr. From Beyond

Amazons and Dark Horsemen -- I am your master.  Bow down.  I ownz all y'all! -- Lurch

TRICORUS -- Are you a gladiator sick of having that spear aimed intentionally at your 
head?  Sick of seeing the bloodshot beserker look of uncaring foes?  Or perhaps 
you're a manager tired of losing their best warriors to other uncaring managers?  Are 
you sick of downchallenges, even small ones that feel bigger than the recognition 
belies?  Then perhaps you are in the wrong arena comrades!  Come to the Andorian 
Kingdom, and find an arena that possesses a sanctity for life and tries NOT to kill 
you or your team members!  One that doesn't down challenge, even if infrequently.  
One where you can be part of a community to stand up for your values.  Don't wait 
another minute, move out of those soulless, heartless, uncaring 'Larq arenas and feel 
the light of day, a friendly smile, and a drink that's not poisoned!  Come to Andoria 
where slavery is banned and freedom reigns! -- This message brought to you by a 
fellow Andorian at heart

Apple -- Tasty.  And a bite of you kept the doctor away from me for this day. -- 
Tsomegh

Gargantuan Aphid -- Euwh!  That's disgusting. -- Haroch

Standbys.  (sigh) -- Reidi

Hey, standbys are okay.  Reidi won, and I captured an Orc, too. -- Drogoi
P.S.  But what am I supposed to do with him now?

Orange -- Am I supposed to MIND? -- Haroch
P.S.  What is my style?  (pause to dig the fight out of the trash)  Ah.  I'm too 
young to be a definite disgrace.

26 July 2003
     Citizens of Alastari, a bright dawn has risen.  While you slept, a pernicious
force has entered the once-fair City of Aruak.  It fought alongside their treasured
warriors, it drank with their fans, and it slept with their women.  Now the masks are
coming off.
     Warriors, be afraid...be very afraid.  After years of Andorian managers ranting
that Aruak is the safest city in Alastari, the Frothingslosh Syndicate has selected
Aruak City as the home for its next epic 'contest'--Murder by Numbers II.  Our spies
have selected the warriors for extermination, and the executioners have had several
months to prepare.  Now a new age of darkness will descend upon Aruak, as the
Syndicate and its allies bring an entirely new level of competition to the arena!
Downchallenges!  Assassinations!  Small poodles as hors d'oeuvres!
     The Murder by Numbers II 'rules' will be announced next cycle.  However, we
invite all managers, from all corners of Alastari, to come to Aruak City and take
part...in one way or another.  Help defend the honor of a long heralded haven for the
pure, or join the forces of change in their siege of the ice-cream and cake
stronghold of the Dukes of Nerf-Dueling!
     This exercise is not for either the faint of heart or the weak willed.  Blood
will flow, brains will leak, and beer will be chugged.  Either way, we welcome you
with open arms and gleaming blades.
     This public service announcement has been brought to you by Frothingslosh Epic
Contests (tm), the number 86, and the letter 'K'.

The Frothingslosh Syndicate

           *     *     *     *The Third Annual Turf War*     *     *     *
     Yes, it's time again for alliances to go to war!  TW3 will be held in DM 47
(North Fork) at a date to be  specified later--right after Crip's Incomprehensible
Contest is over...but I'm sure everyone wants to get their teams there soon!  Here
are the rules:

1.  Each alliance must have a leader declare the arrival of his alliance.  The leader
    will be responsible for verifying any and all teams/managers who declare to the
    alliance he/she is leading.
2.  Each manager, team declaring for the contest must have approval of the leader,
    donate one Roll-up Certificate ($5) to the prize pot (send it to me by diplo, by
    snail, or a note to customer service), and declare his/her team by diplo, p-ad or
    snail.
3.  Each team may declare one warrior as champion.  All points scored by a champ are
    double!
4.  Prizes are as follows (mostly...there WILL be some things added as the prize pot
    grows with entry donations--this list is not final!)
    *  Highest scoring alliance -- Rename Arena 47 for a period of 6 months, one half
       of the total prize pot donated; roll-up certs.
    *  The Alliance with the most returns from the DA will get to re-name the DA
       monsters for a period of 6 months.
    *  The alliance with the most warriors listed as style masters will get to pick
       the Alastari city/arena to host the next Grand Tournament.
    *  The warrior with the most front page honors/awards will have the Arenamaster
       named after him for a period of 6 months.
    *  The Alliance with the most front page Honors/Awards will have the honor of
        picking the *slow* arena to host the Fifth Annual Turf War.
    *  The team with the most listings as Style Master will find out the favorites of
       one of their warriors.
    *  The warrior with the most listings as Style Master will fight at my expense
       for five turns (I will transfer to the manager's account).
    *  The Alliance with the most kills will be able to re-name the stand-in warriors
       for a period of 6 months.
    *  The warrior that scores the most total points will fight at my expense for 5
       turns (I will transfer $7.50 to the manager's account).
    *  The team that scores the most total points will receive an extra share of
       roll-up certs from the prize pot.
     There may be more categories to come, and the prize pot still has to be
divided...I'm open to category/prize ideas--and further donations to the prize pot.
     The contest will run for *TEN* turns; prizes will be awarded at the end of the
11th turn.
     Scoring will be as follows:
* 5 points per fight, doubled for each of the following conditions met:
     -- Two Alliance     -- Champion
     -- Challenge        -- Two Champions
     -- Bloodfeud        -- Challenger losing
     -- Kill
     (Note:  DA losses are exempt, but DA wins will be *tripled*!!!  Ex:  Happy
Slasher goes to the DA and dies, no points are lost.  If he wins, his team scores 60
points!  If he was a champ, he scores 120 points!)
     Use the following chart to calculate scores:
Conditions Met:       0     1     2     3     4     5     6     7
Points Per Fight:     5    10    20    40    80   160   320   640
* Awards/Honors and Style Masters will each be awarded points also.  Find the total
number of each (do note add Awards and Style Masters together) and consult the graph
below.  Champs that score an award or style master count as two.
     1 --   5      7 --  320
     2 --  10      8 --  640
     3 --  20      9 -- 1280
     4 --  40     10 -- 2560
     5 --  80     11 -- 5280
     6 -- 100     (x2 for each extra)
Note -- These categories *count as "triple"*--they will be figured for each team,
*AND* again for each alliance *as well as* for each warrior!
*  Each and every mention in the Spy Report is worth 5 points...period.
*  TVs will be scored on the same scale as Awards/Style Masters, but the total points
will be x10.  TC's will be scored as TV's, but x10 more.
Number of TV/TC's          Points Scored (TV/TC)
     1      50/ 500
     2     100/1000
     3     200/2000
     4     400/4000
     +     x2/ x2 (for each extra)
     Each alliance will start with 5000 points, scores for *fights* will be added to
the winner's total *AND* deducted from the losers.
     Come  one and all, defend your turf and the honor of your alliance...or your
own!

     Assurnasirbanipal invites you to Talcama to participate in the third BATTLE
ROYAL contest.  It is a Delarquan contest so brutal that even some of Talcama's most
notable managers will refuse to participate.  The rules are simpler than any other
contest:  You may not avoid any other contest team.  There are no silly rules for who
can and can't compete.  Any team in Talcama is eligible to compete.  The scoring is
also quite simple (+1 for a win, +1 for a kill (+1 for the win), -1 for a loss) and
the first team to reach 25 points is the winner.
     Scoring will be live--the results for the turn posted in the newsletter.  The
winner will be able to fight their contest team in Talcama for free for 6 months but
more importantly will win a contest against some of the best managers who play the
game in one of the hardest contests in the game.
     First turn for BATTLE ROYAL 3 is Talcama Turn 465, which is due August 30.

     Citizens of Ghea (only the ignorant fail to note Lirith Kai is not in Alastari), 
no new day is rising, but the sun is setting on just another beautiful evening.  
While you were sleeping, an irksome rabble has entered the always fair Aruak City.  
Of course they fought alongside our warriors, most not so treasured, as all 
gladiators do.  They drank with themselves, and slept with themselves.  Whether they 
had masks, who cares.
     Warriors, don't be afraid.  For years Aruak has been one of the safest cities in 
Ghea, and that custom has been continually cultivated, and will continue to be by 
those who have called it home for years and those who live, fight, and die by the 
same ethics.  There is no contest, nor has there ever needed to be one for many 
years.  A conflict of personalities has arisen, and the city has been 'invaded' by 
pests.
     Any rules that are annouced will be purely for the joy of the lemmings' own 
little world.  Those who are being targeted have no interest in participating except 
to defend the integrity of an arena that is different from others.  Whether you 
choose to come to Aruak, do it for your own reasons, not theirs.
    Competing in Aruak City has never been for the faint of heart or the weak willed.  
Combat is combat, wherever you go.  Blood will flow as always, and now many innocents 
will be caught in the middle, but those who defend Aruak's traditions never target 
those who bring respect of Aruaki customs with them to our home.
    So ignore the private ranting announcement brought by the stuporous 
Frothingsloshers.  If you choose Aruak City, do not choose it for an unsanctioned and 
bogus 'contest', choose it for the tradition.  Choose it because Aruak is different.
