SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of TRICORUS! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. INANNIA caught the eye of many in
the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested EMBEZZLING SCRIBE and was
awarded 16 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels,
F-BLACKBLADE put down KOLVEGH, causing him to lose 4 points of recognition in the
process. Although REIDI made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the
reign of victorious CHRISEIS. Would you believe that over half of the old women in
TRICORUS seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators?
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city TRICORUS. TRICORUS, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of thy
guilds is AMAZON ELITE, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels.
Apparently the stalwarts of FRUITS are catching the bulk of jests down at the
challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Mighty fighters cannot but
expect competition from those below. ORANGE take warning! You have more than a few
enemies in TRICORUS.
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena
there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in TRICORUS. Nice atmosphere you have here! Sadly warriors, now longer can
I keep thy company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till
we meet again, remember: a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no
one; a lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Chriseis -- I hate those turn-around fights when I start ahead and then lose. But
dancing with you out there was kinda fun anyway. It might be MORE fun, if we do it
without the swords, and without the bored fans (gods know why) throwing
vegetables.... -- Drogoi
"Khaluhums"? Oooo-kay. -- Reidi
They yodel while they yawn. -- Ed.
Do you suppose he calls himself that because he isn't GOOD enough to be a true
Khalhums Dwarf? -- Tsomegh, not complaining
Wolverine -- They tell me wolverine fur is one of the best for cold weather.
(hopefully) You wouldn't have any to spare, would you? -- Kolvegh
Eight active warriors this time? That looks bad, very bad, for this arena. -- Dark
Horsemen
Assur -- We're always kind. -- Tsomegh and other Dark Horsemen
P.S. As to the rippers, I dunno, I just got to playing around with some, and they're
interesting. Besides, there's so little competition for the stylemaster's position!
Reidi is 13-10-8-17-15-8-13, favors EP (never used it, she carries a scimitar),
low/moderate (has been going mod/mod), uses both lunge AND parry tactics but hasn't
tried 'em. Normal endurance, can't take a lot of damage, does normal damage. Master
in riposte, experts in attack and parry.
31 October 2003
Come one, come all, to the greatest contest in Alastari! The Third Annual Turf
War will be in North Fork (DM 47) starting in about 6-7 turns.... C'mon and get your
team some experience, and get declared!
More info available in North Fork's newsletter.

Let it be known far and wide, that the Warrior TUM 18-7380, the Champions Runner-Up
for the recent Tournament, is managed by none other than Shocking Toad. I named this
fabulous warrior after my friend and mentor, TUM, a.k.a. Don! Sorry TUM didn't get
me my first TC; however, a runner-up with all those sandbaggers is pretty impressive,
if I do say so myself. -- Shocking Toad, The Manager
13 November 2003
All -- This is to announce that I am no longer a member of the Vendetta Cartel
Alliance. I have enjoyed my time there, and I've made some great friends. Their
company will be missed, but they will endure. I wish them well. -- Apex

TOURNEY FREEZE CHANGE -- ADVANCE NOTICE
Beginning at the Winter Face-to-Face in Tempe (January 2004), we will implement
several changes affecting tournaments. The tournament announcement for the upcoming
FTF and future tourneys will reflect these changes.
First, we will eliminate the tourney freeze for all regular DM warrior classes.
Regular DM warriors will not be classed ahead of the tournament, but instead will
fight according to their FE on the date of the tourney. There will still be a freeze
for the ADM classes, occurring on the same timeline as before, approximately 6 weeks
before the tournament.
In addition to the above change, the warrior classes will be slightly altered.
The new tourney classes will be as follows:
DM Tourney Classes ADM Tourney Classes
====================== ======================
0 FE: Rookies Freshmen
1-4 FE: Apprentices ADM
5-10 FE: Initiates Eligibles
11-20 FE: Adepts ---induction---
21-30 FE: Champions Contenders
31+ FE: Challengers Primus
All regular DM tourney classes will remain solely FE based. All ADM classes will
now be based on warrior characteristics (i.e., the ADM split algorithm), including the
Freshmen class.
The Gateway and Primus arenas will be merging before the FTF to form one top
arena. These warriors will be split into two tournament classes, the Contenders and
the Primus classes, again based upon their characteristics. More information on this
will be published in the newsletters for those arenas.
If you have any questions about the above changes, please contact Customer
Service. Good luck in your games.
