SPY REPORT
Welcome TRICORUS. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights
have I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... Woof! ALL-UGLY TEAM
were a bunch of dogs after FRUITS got through with 'em! 1st ain't so sweet as 2nd!
What's with KALLIE? She actually beat DARK HORSEMEN's TURAGH, and walked away with
12 more points from the fight. Major screwup at AMAZON ELITE. INANNIA lost 3 points
to DELANGE. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe INANNIA will provide more easy
wins... Try as he might, KHALUHUMS DWARF wasn't good enough at persuading APPLE to
step down from the Duelmaster's throne... Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up
fighting!
If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. How
well I know the feeling of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of
practive, BLACKEND PRIDE! Management must be dealin', as the boys at FRUITS ain't
reelin'! BLACKEND PRIDE's mad!
A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters
don't accept this. The best do. Many a warrior has met his fate in a hungover
stupor. You young rapscallions, take note!
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
The end of another Spyreport! That's cause for celebration in my book! Time for my
medication, so I'll leave now. Practice, practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Fruits -- It is indeed unfortunate that Hannah's challenges against Apple are being
cancelled out by your sniveling bloodfeud challenges. But then, of course, vicious
sniveling is so commonplace with you, your dumbed-down level of intellect cannot
really tell the difference.
Apple -- Well, not much better this time! Managed to keep you on the ground like a
wriggling worm for nearly two minutes, though. You really got some very lucky
parries, you know. Am going to try a couple new things against you next time. Will
see how it goes. -- Hannah
Amazon Elite -- The All-Ugly Team will be inactive this turn, but I wanted to let you
know that I am not trying to duck your revenge for the unfortunate demise of Bellona.
My team will be active next turn (#385), but inactive again after that. Sorry that
only leaves you one turn to get your piece of flesh, but my tourney warrior is poised
at the top of his class I can't keep the team active on the principal of honor alone.
Best of luck to you. -- The Sentinel, mgr. All-Ugly Team
Kevin McHale -- You worthless pile of DUNG! With the team sporting this sick record,
you have to go ruin a 5-0 turn by losing to a STAND-IN?!?!? I always hated you....
-- The Sentinel
Harzogh -- I can't believe that you would impugn the integrity of my physical
countenance like that. Some people find the huge-toothed alien look attractive, for
your information. I'll be expecting a retraction. -- Sam Cassell
Kolvegh -- Thank you, I appreciate the compliment, but it makes me worry about your
idea of beauty.... -- Kevin McHale
Turagh -- I do my best to teach, but my methods are still a touch lacking. Practice
will make perfect, though. -- Robert Parish
Willie McGee -- You're just as mean as your brother Wontie. Ouch! -- Kolvegh
Robert Parish -- (sigh) So perish, then. I won't mind. -- Harzogh
Sam Cdassell -- And yet another Ugly guy beats us up. Maybe we should avoid you.
But then who would there be to fight? -- Delange
Dark Carny -- I especially resented the black elephant. -- Turagh

TEN TURNS OF HELL:
The KLK Capture The Flag Competition
In the spirit of the ongoing effort to make arena play what it used to be (FUN!!), I
am proud to announce the KLK Capture The Flag Competition. The competition will be
held in Jhans (DM-36, which has, by the way, grown in size equal to Talcama already).
:) We are announcing this contest early to allow managers time to prep.
Rules:
-- On turn 462 (due 8/4/04) the lowest ranked warrior on your team is given your
team's 'flag' (he is your initial flag defender).
-- Starting on turn 463 (due 8/18/04) flags will be defended every turn and turn
463 is the turn scoring will begin.
-- Fights involving flags are winners-take-all and a warrior can carry as many
flags as he can win.
-- If a warrior holding a flag either A) goes inactive, B) loses to a stand-by
warrior or C) gets DA'd, he forfeits all flags he has and they are returned the their
original team's lowest ranked warrior.
-- If you hold your own flag on an inactive warrior you receive NO POINTS that
turn.
-- If a warrior graduates to AD holding flags starting on the next turn those
flags will be defended by the lowest ranked warrior on the team of the graduating
warrior.
-- Scoring as follows for each turn:
2 pts -- possession of your own team flag
1 pt -- possession any other flag
1 pt -- for each win
1 pt -- for each kill
1 pt -- for each award you receive in the newsletter
-- You may enter as many teams as you like (per RSI rules) but each team is its
own entry.
-- Tie-Breaker goes to the team that had the most points from flags.
-- If still tied the tie-breaker will be the team that had the most points from
kills. (It's the Delarq way.)
-- The contest lasts 10 turns and there will be prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd
(based on highest point totals)
Prizes: (what you've been waiting on)
1st -- 3 know favorites potions*
DA warrior named after winning manager
2nd -- 2 know favorites potions*
3rd -- 1 know favorites potion*
* These are full favorite potions (weapon, rhythms and tactics) and can only be used
on warriors with at least 4 FE.
How's that for paying out? (grin) Even if you think that it's all about the TC,
these prizes should be enough to draw you in. (You know who you are.)
I hope to see friend and foe alike come to Jhans. Legion, Froths, and all the
others...this is your personal invite. Can you win? Can you survive 10 turns of
Hell in Jhans?
Note: Special thanks to RSI for helping make this contest possible. Thanks
guys!
