SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly FRATSFA games. Warriors--remember that glory waits
always around the corner! Witness how this week BASH BROS ROAD SIGN went 1-2-0 to
move up 3 in the rankings. ELLIS TATE caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial
commission as he skillfully bested STAND IN and was awarded 24 points in recognition.
In one of the week's more notable duels, ELLIS TATE put down STAND IN, causing him to
lose 21 points of recognition in the process. Due to his absence and inability to
defend the throne, ABU JR. has lost the title of Duelmaster. The city has turned out
in honor of LEIA, for with his arena victory he may now lay claim to the highest
position in the city! Heed this! A seer has warned that if exactly 6 die in duels
this week, the whole city shall perish! Just remember...5 or 7!
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. My inside sources tell me that the
team to beat in FRATSFA these days is IRON CATHEDRAL. At least, most blades in town
are looking to avoid them. If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard
pressed to find any of OTTO'S PARTS last week. Busy avoiding IRON CATHEDRAL? Loose
talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many
fighters are after URSILA RILVAR. Watch your back!
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! 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!
The girls are as pretty in FRATSFA as ever I remembered them....and the fighters
as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far
off city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember: a fool flies into
a rage quickly and often. The wise are angered by the same thing only once. Zontani

PERSONAL ADS
To those who may care, The Flower Girls are on a round-the-world vacation and will
not return in the near future. -- Lady Fern
Note: All will receive implants during this vacation.
Wei Yan -- Rumor is that you are the one responsible for the latest sign defacing.
What say you? -- Graffiti
Six dead in duels, the city has perished! This is probably a whole new city, OR, we
perished too, and we're ghosts in a ghost-city.
Two-one again! This may be the start of a trend! Or not, of course. It could be
bait in a trap to catch swelled egos. -- Ursila Rilvar

WINTER FACE-TO-FACE IN SUNNY ARIZONA!
Our next winter FTF will be held in Tempe, Arizona, January 16-18, 2015. It will be
held at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Tempe, Arizona (480-897-7444), the same hotel as
last year by popular request. Room rates are $149.00 per night, 1-2 occupancy, which
includes full cooked breakfast, complimentary manager's reception, free airport
shuttle, free parking and free high speed internet. There's a fitness center,
jacuzzi, and pool. The rooms are blocked--code RSI.
Please make your reservations now if you plan to go. This is prime season for
Phoenix, and this year will be crazy: the Superbowl, Phoenix Open, auto auction, PF
Chang's Marathon, and more are all during that time. The hotel will be filling up
quickly and I won't be able to add rooms to the block after they are full. So please
book your room now -- if you can't make it you can cancel your reservation, but we
hope you do!
Look for the tournament info sheet and minioverviews some time in December. We hope
you're all looking forward to it and that we will see you there!
