SPY REPORT
Oh, hi. Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte. Thought I'd check out ROCANIS to see
what's new. MVP award for CONTRABAND? YIELD's proud of him after beating ALDALDON
and getting 16 points. Oh, wow, like the Duelmaster must be the most popular gal in
all ROCANIS. She got the most challenges. (But what about proposals?) WISHLIST
thinks his 11-9-3 and studly character is good enough to face up to the Duelmaster.
Any bets? And I was just getting used to the ex-Duelmaster's habit of...(!) Oh
well, welcome WISHLIST. Aren't YIELD proud. (Oh, my.) Who was the wiseguy that said
ROCANIS' Duelmaster was paying for drinks at The Wanton Troll? Don't look at me!
AAARRGH!!! I HATE SPYREPORTING!!! Sorry. I just had to say it. BAD APPLES
was ROCANIS' most avoided team. Is there some award for that? Hhmph! What kind of
warriors are PHILANTHROPISTS? BAD APPLES, an easy team to beat if I ever saw one,
can't get them to accept an invitation! IN HIDING must not be a good enough fighter
to get in fair fights. He challenged FORLUITHA. 13 is a big difference. (Well,
that's what they tell me.) I thought IN HIDING showed great skill and promise when he
was overcame by FORLUITHA. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
What does a fighter fight for? I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone
gets killed. Not after four more fights. TREEKILLER bloodfeuded (is that a word?)
PRESTON for revenge over some guy's bad fortune. Was it really worth it? Like was
that some Bloodfeud, or what? (TREEKILLER vs. PRESTON, that is.) Hey you guys, don't
you think your families would like to hear from you? Write! (Or have someone write
for you.)
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous Spyreporter? I gotta leave. ROCANIS is like such a dump, and you guys
smell too much! Its been really albendranius! Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Zander -- Jorja took a look at our respective records and said we were each on the
wrong team. I don't see anything wrong with having a good record! Or, to be honest,
with NOT having a good record. The important thing is to stay ALIVE. That's my
goal. And I don't MIND, not really, if I don't kill any people. It's only TREES
that I want to kill. They shade out the grass and use up lots of water and get in
the way of the horses and the cattle. Just plain old encumbrances on the landscape,
that's trees. -- Treekiller
Doom from the South -- Like south is BAD? We had frost warnings! Well, some of our
neighbors to the north had frost warnings. But we got plenty chilly enough last
night, so I do NOT think going south at this season is BAD. In fact, I encourage it
in all my neighbors; as it does wonderful things for the traffic. Get all those big
boats of cadillacs OUT of here. -- Forluitha
P.S. Yes, okay, so I get testy when I'm chilled. Sue me.
The Rirorni Archer is helpless without his bow. And he is not allowed to bring his
bow into the arena. This is all good. -- Sourcrab
Hmm, this Persistent Beggar is a bit of a wimp, isn't he? Can't hold his cider at
all. -- Hard Cider
P.S. Or maybe I should say, he can't hold MY cider.
Ed. -- No, bales of doom are most often sold to cults. They pay more for it. --
Treekiller
Ah, that would make sense. I can see all sorts of uses for the baling wire of
doom though. -- Ed.

The Avengers of Light. Another VC lackey? What's the matter VC, are you scared?
Bringing in reinforcements. It matters not, bring your avengers and they shall be
crushed! I am Dark Knight Blackstorm and I represent the Desolate Empire and can
easily be found in 8, 28, 31, 47, 54, and 106. I reply with steel and your women
shall cry when they start the body count!!!!!!!!! Remember to sign your posts to
whoever from the VC wrote that earlier Ad. -- Dark Knight Blackstorm

Civil War/The Crusades
The next edition of the Civil War series is to be held in Tobir, arena 14, beginning
November 25th with a round where all participating managers must DA all 5 of their
warriors; in addition all warriors must be prefixed with an A an F or a D in the
following manner: A-Broke Stroker or (A) Broke Stroker. Names simply beginning with
the letter of your federation will NOT count as properly prefixed! Existing teams
are welcome but no warrior who survives the DA who had prior Fight Experience (arena
or tourney) will be allowed to score or challenge into the contest teams. There will
be an equal number of teams set up for each of the three factions (Andorian, Free
Blades, and Delarquan) to create sides as equal as possible. This along with the DA
round should set up pretty equal footing for all managers. After the DA there will
be another round where you can either DA again or fight your new, or surviving,
warriors so they will be set up to challenge an opponent beginning on round 1. So as
a recap DA round, turn 0, then turn 1 it begins with the following rules:
The Civil War to be held in arena 14.
- The contest runs for 10-28 turns (barring ties).
- No tourney participation allowed. Teams with warriors participating in any
tournament are disqualified.
- An even number of teams per faction worked out by the Faction Leaders. No later
substitutions are allowed.
- If a manager brings in a second team and challenges into the contest he is DQ'd and
his side will fight one team short!
- Three factions will be participating: Andorian, Delarquan, Free Blades
- Everyone prefixes their warrior with A-, F-, or D- (No prefix = disqualification of
the warrior)
- Turn DA: (The DA Round) November 25, 2006. Every warrior must DA. (Warriors not
DA'd on Turn 0 are disqualified)
- Turn 0: December 9th, 2006. There will be no scoring this turn it is meant to
allow for challenges on turn 1.
- Turn 1+: Scoring as detailed below
- Each team gets 1 point for defeating a warrior from an opposing team.
- Fights against warriors on your team do not generate points in any situation.
- The team with the most points each turn gets a Battle Point (if there is a tie for
the most points then no Battle Points are accrued)
- The first team to 10 Battle Points wins the war
- Managers of teams on the winning side each receive a +1 bonus potion to be used on
a warrior on their contest team. This must be applied within a month of the
conclusion of the contest and the team must have been active on the last turn of
the contest.
Anyone wishing to participate, and feels they can probably stick around for the
duration (don't want to handicap a side, of course unforeseeable events cannot be
planned for), should either diplo me at THE DEATH SQUAD(63) in Tobir (arena 14) or
place a personal ad in the arena. You may also contact me via the Duel2.com boards!
Let me know which faction you would like to fight for! This contest is intended to
be open to ALL managers wishing to pit themselves against each other to try and
determine which faction has the best managers! -- Street Legal

I am back in the arena and thinking back to those days in 1984 where I was a
novice and clueless manager.
Now, 22 years later it looks like I am an ancient and once again clueless
manager.
I am looking to recover some old warriors. Since none of them are Aimed Blows,
they are no threat to win anything. I just want to see how they turned out.
The Couatl 2-17
Madam Butterfly 20-701
Gypsy Moth 20-703
King Crab 21-1
Priestess Python 26-1388
Please contact me at DekeYoung@Comcast.net if you know about any of these ancient
warriors, or just want to bs about the old, old, old times.
