                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, in ROCANIS a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.  
So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news.  SERPENTS' HOLD stable has parlayed 
this turn's 3-1-0 into a 3 space move up the rankings.  This brings them up to 3rd 
place.  Good work, guys!  And let's see, NEWTON PYNE fought AHSOKA TANO and gained 25 
points and contributed to MIDDLE WAY 20's 1-4-0.  AHSOKA TANO has lost to NEWTON 
PYNE, falling 20 points, while helping make CLONE WARS a 3-2-0 turn.  Defending his 
title for another turn, MACROS THE BLACK kept SERPENTS' HOLD's warrior, SNAKE BITE, 
from claiming the throne.  Can someone confirm a rumor for me?  I hear the top team 
makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Wanton Troll until they win.  Maybe?   
     The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more 
could a warrior ask of life?  Well, besides that.  Well, sports fans, take notice 
that NEWTON PYNE from MIDDLE WAY 20 was ROCANIS' most challenged warrior this turn.   
     A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once.  Wise men know this to 
be true.  We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their enemies.  
You know who you are; and it's considered rude.   
     Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe.  Dare 
to fight bravely.  Well, I'm burning daylight here in ROCANIS and I've a long road 
ahead of me.  Happy Trails.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- 
Alarond the Scribe

One-Eye -- We can also tell you that a warflail is unorthodox for a lunger. -- Jorja
P.S.  It was a hideous input error.

Grimwood -- Okay, you've opened Pandora's box.  (She couldn't get it loose without a
crowbar, but these days, it's a lot easier.)  We will chatter as time and mood
suggests.  It may have little to do with dueling. -- Jorja

One-four this time.  Can we blame it on the heavy fog this morning?  No?  Oh, well,
worth asking.  At least the win is MINE. -- Elin Gallio
P.S.  Just ONCE I'd like to hear that my opponent is from out of town, a visitor to
our city.  Everybody is always local.

                   SEAM (DM 20) REOPENS AS A NEW NO-TOURNEY ARENA!

Seam (DM 20) will be re-opening soon as a no-tourney DM arena!  If you enjoy arena 
play without tournament interference, this arena is for you!  Only rookie teams may 
enter this arena, and all managers must sign the "no-tourney" pledge.  Turn 0 is due 
on May 4 (overviews only) and Turn 1 is due on May 18.  

To avoid confusion, all old inactive teams which were in Seam have travelled to 
Mazgourrah (DM 77). 

Seam is the newest arena to join the no-tourney group of arenas and will process on 
opposite weeks with Shadowspire (DM 81), the original no-tourney arena.  Other no-
tourney arenas include Telorinthe (DM 83), a slow arena, and Storm Rock (DM 107), for 
ADM warriors.  

Join in the fun!  Send in your new rollup along with the pledge soon so you can get in 
on the ground floor of this new arena!

    * I pledge that I will not send warriors from this team to a tournament, nor 
      will I use a tournament prize on a warrior from this team.

    * I understand that any warrior that participates in a tournament or receives 
      a tournament prize shall be sent to the Dark Arena until they are dead.
