SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly TRICORUS games. KOLVEGH caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested M. CHARDINEE and was awarded 20
points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, HANNAH put down
HARZOGH, causing him to lose 3 points of recognition in the process. Due to his
absence and inability to defend the throne, SPIDER-MAN has lost the title of
Duelmaster. The city has turned out in honor of HANNAH, for with hers arena victory
she may now lay claim to the highest position in the city! Informants "close" to the
city champion have told me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his
armor. Watch out!
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report.
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. Some say a warrior is judged by the way
he bears arms. One thing is sure, better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt!
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 we meet again, remember: a turtle walks
slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.--

PERSONAL ADS
Spider-Man -- NO! This is TOO MUCH! First the Ratani played around and produced cat
people, then they got smart and drove the freaks out. And now you're saying they're
doing it again, making SPIDER people? NO! They must be STOPPED! I call for a holy
war against Ratani magical experimentation! -- Harzogh
The Venomous Concubine is probably one of the Ratani bug-people, too. A Spider-
Woman, perhaps. Where did that bug-spray go? -- Kolvegh
At least the Userous Merchant's just ordinary. -- Turagh
P.S. And he lost.
And the Ambitious Guard is so sweet.... -- Delange

Battle Royal 4
The Battle Royal arena contests are one of the purest tests of manager skill
available. The rules are simple. The scoring is simple. The updates are live. If
you would like to participate, simply get a team ready in Talcama in the next month
and announce in the personals that you're in. The prize is bragging rights and
having your name along side previous winners (Doc Steele, Manray Frothingslosh, and
Manager). It is a brutal contest, but it is a lot of fun!
Basic rules: No avoiding other contest teams. Score = Wins + Kills - Losses.
Only fights against other BR teams count. First team to 25 wins!
BR4 begins in Talcama (DM 18) on turn 502, due on Jan 29, 2005.
Visit http://www.geocities.com/assurnasir/br4 for more information.
