SPY REPORT
Hail ROCANIS! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your
deeds. It seems the training can make the difference, as THEM is pushed out of top
team by CREDIT, who came from 2nd with a 2-2-0 this turn. Now keep the taverns open
late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for MEN OF STEEL, whose 0-1-0 this turn
dropped them by 4 into 7th. GRIZZLED VETERANS! stable has parlayed this turn's 3-0-0
into a 3 space move up the rankings. This brings them up to 3rd place. Good work,
guys! And let's see, ANVIAM fought AMEX and gained 19 points and contributed to
GRIZZLED VETERANS!'s 3-0-0. AMEX has lost to ANVIAM, falling 16 points, while
helping make CREDIT a 2-2-0 turn. And not without some honor, NEWTON PYNE now claims
the title and throne of Duelmaster of ROCANIS. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have
heard from unimpeachable sources that Mylar's uses trolls in their stew. Talk about
gristle!
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. KNIGHTS OF NI has cause to stand tall, as they were ROCANIS'
most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. And guess who
avoided KNIGHTS OF NI stable the most? Believe it or not, it was CREDIT. Anyone
surprised? Well, sports fans, take notice that AMEX from CREDIT was ROCANIS' most
challenged warrior this turn.
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. A brave warrior does not carry a
red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your swords
sharp and your hammers heavy. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper--

From: The Office of Accurate Census Reporting, Gladiatorial Commission
To: All Managers
In the interest of preserving our natural resources and preventing managerial writer's
cramp, the census form has been eliminated, effective immediately. Managers may
register their warriors' races and/or favorite sayings by simply writing them on a
separate piece of paper and submitting them to the Commission. Each warrior may have
up to 15 favorite sayings. Each saying must be categorized Jeer, Gloat, Boredom, Ouch,
Victory and may be up to 70 characters long. For any questions, please contact the
Gladiatorial Commission.
TEAM AND CHARACTER MAINTENANCE SERVICE
As a service to all managers, we offer team and character maintenance. This
option allows you to make sure your team or selected warriors will never miss a turn!
Team Maintenance: This will cause all warriors on that team to fight every
turn; if it's an AD arena, any new warriors who arrive on that team will
fight the turn they arrive. In A.D. or in transfer arenas where you have
multiple teams, each team will need to separately be on Team Maintenance.
(The only exception is new warriors; they will not fight until they have had
their initial strategy input.)
Character Maintenance: This will cause only that warrior to fight every
turn. If the character graduates or changes arenas, he/she/it will stay on
Character Maintenance.
In either case, you may submit strategy sheets for your warriors each turn, if
you wish. The Team/Character Maintenance will make sure your warriors fight each
turn, and they will always use their most recently entered strategy.
Remember that challenges, avoids, and challenge/if challenged strategies will not
carry through from turn to turn. These sections are only used on the turn they are
entered. In order to continually challenge or avoid you will need to submit a
strategy sheet each time.
One other thing to remember about maintenance: Maintenance is not something
that you write on your turnsheet (like in demo tourneys). In order to add or remove
maintenance for a team or warrior, you must send a note to Customer Service. If you
just write things like this on your strategy sheet, they may or may not get done.
Likewise, don't write it on your personal ads. Please, please, please put it on a
separate piece of paper with "Customer Service" written on the top. If you don't,
well, you can imagine.
Thanks for your time. Good luck in Duelmasters! -- Green Eyes
