SPY REPORT
Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills? Well
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for ARADI. Too bad, SHADOW SIGNS, but WILD
CARDS was just too good to be stopped. Uncool, BROKEN SPIRITS. I mean 0-5-0 is bad.
Will they will be allowed to fight? I say use 'em for training practice! The guys
at WIMPS OF DEATH like really pulled together to get a 2-2-0 this turn, moving up by
6. One team deserves special mention 'cause they moved up 0 after going 3-1-0. Keep
it up, CLUB CULTURE! Talk about hot teams! MY MOORPARK MOB goes out, the very first
time, and goes 4-1-0! Like, what do you guys eat for breakfast? MVP award for
TRIPLICATE THUNDER? WILD CARDS' proud of him after beating KIK-BUTO and getting 28
points. Talk about yer major upsets! GRIZNASSHOPPER's match with QUICKSAND cost him
a loss of 20 points! The Duelmaster isn't going to stop just cause he's Number One!
VERISIMILITUDE knows this. She was TV challenged by the Duelmaster. This Duelmaster
is like something else! CROW stopped VERISIMILITUDE dead in hers tracks! I hear the
top team insists all their warriors get nine hours sleep. They want photogenic
fighters for PR photos.
AAARRGH!!! I HATE SPYREPORTING!!! Sorry. I just had to say it. WILD CARDS
was ARADI's most avoided team. Is there some award for that? Hhmph! What kind of
warriors are 4000 BLOWS? WILD CARDS, an easy team to beat if I ever saw one, can't
get them to accept an invitation! Like, is LUMMOX popular, or what? He was
challenged the most in all of ARADI! He's got a 16-37-0, is that good? I'm not so
sure WHITE RAVEN knew all the facts when she challenged BOONE of RED DOG GANG. I saw
WHITE RAVEN stumbling and dribbling at The Victory Tavern last week... What did
WHITE RAVEN expect, anyway! Of course BOONE won. Next time stick to people you have
a chance against, dummy! SMOOCHY must not be a good enough fighter to get in fair
fights. It TV challenged SCUMBAG. 15 is a big difference. (Well, that's what they
tell me.) I thought SMOOCHY showed great skill and promise when it was bested by
SCUMBAG. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All ARADI ever talks about is fighting! Me,
I'm more laid back. What if they had a fight and nobody showed up? I'd be out of a
job, that's what!!!
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I gotta leave. ARADI is like such a dump, and you guys smell too much! Its
been really albendranius! Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
To All TOGS interested Managers -- If you are thinking of entering the TOGS
tournament and as of yet do not have a team partner, please consider me--contact me
via diplo (if that is still done) or email at anx@peoplepc.com. -- Ghoti
P.S. It has been a few years but I think I was on a contending team in TOGS 1 (if I
recall right) in 1995?
Sultan -- Baky Parfum did not want to apologize to Soultaker directly. But she was
thinking, "Hey I gotta say something, this is an Andorian arena." So she
compromised. -- Ghoti
Smoochy -- Gads, you hit me way too hard. I had to leave the arena under intestinal
duress. Good luck! -- Baky Parfum
Bull Doggam -- So you are a dogcat then...? -- Headrock
Sultan -- When Wimpy types our personals than we expect more errors than just 2. --
Cerote
Lanister -- I have dropped out of the contest in 74. I was in way over my head.
Everyone was much too good for me. -- Wimpy
TOGS THINKERS -- In order to help you make your decision on joining in TOGS, be it
known that I, Wimpy, have signed up again. Do not let the fact that I am partnered
with The Judge, one of the premier managers in the game, stop you from joining. --
Wimpy
Sir Zestalot -- You did so well with that little pointy thingy that I thought it
would be nice of me to teach you a few things. You are welcome. -- Dingbat
Sirus -- I think you were dangerously stunned before the fight even started. You
would be even more stunning in the Dark Arena. -- Bamboozle
Biggles -- I just couldn't resist trying for a win and a couple of skills. Thanks.
-- Cerote
Kungfoolery -- How unlucky can a fighter get? Poor Fool Manchcu. He just ran up
against Arsehead when he was fighting to keep from going to the DA. I guess for the
sake of honor I will have to let him defend at least one bloodfeud. Take your best
shot quickly. -- Wimpy
Ghost of Fool Man -- Hitting you in the neck saved my own neck. HAHAHAHAHAHA. --
Arsehead
Transcendental -- I just hate guys who go over the 14 place limit on their names. In
addition, you sure must be dumb to try and scum me. You sure weren't smart enough to
teach me anything. -- Scumbag
Headrock -- Hey! I'm the one who's supposed to bury things in the sand. Although I
like good soft dirt, or even mud, better. But still. It's a matter of principle.
It should be me doing the burying. Remember that next time. -- Bull Doggam
Bamboozle -- You confounded hornswoggler! You DARE to do that to a Dog Star? Don't
you realize we're the Good Guys? -- Sirius the Seriously Annoyed
The Spotlight -- It's too bright. It makes my eyes hurt. Take it away. -- Lummox
Achondroplasia -- What? -- Boone the Not Very Intellectual Dog
Quicksand -- A vile trick, worthy of a CAT. You should be ASHAMED of yourself. --
Teacup Terrier
Mabuse -- After seeing firsthand the iron-clad fist of dominance displayed by my team
at the Face, I'm sure you'll be avoiding me now. >:) -- Nuln
*wiping tears from eyes after a good long laugh* Thanks, I needed that. *grin*
-- Ed.
Boone -- It's not just you dogs. Most living creatures don't like things that are
different. Especially if you're shaped like an over-sized, brown slug and you suck
out their brains. Someday, I hope, we'll live in a world without prejudice. -- The
Aylmer
Dear Mr. 'O' Ring -- You may be the High Poobah of Onion Rings, but I'm the Big
Cheese of the Back-Up Dagger. Bow down and pay fealty. -- the Aylmer
Spot -- In your next life, when you are reincarnated as a scrod, it will all make
sense (especially the leg-warmer part). -- Nuln
Merven Dree -- As usual, you're right. A french chaos lord is like a pair of silk
leg-warmers. Stylish, perhaps, but useless. -- Nuln

warriors' names! -- Nuln

Luciferous Hope -- I am so disappointed in my init, or lack thereof. I think I'll go
back and practice more at poking babies with long sticks (if I use the short ones
they can grab me by the neck and throttle....) -- Winker X

STOP THINKING TOGS!!!!! It's here. Well, almost here anyway. We're looking at
a start date of the first turn in Aradi (DM 60) following the Fall Mail-In. This
should give everyone sufficient time to study the new ultra-improved T#%S IV rules
and prep accordingly. So without further ado, here is your handy-dandy guide to
winning your very own Golden Scrod (and some other very cool prizes to be announced
officially before the start of the tourney that must not be named):
1. Each T#%S team consists of two managers. After the tourney starts, there will be
no switching partners whatsoever, so choose your partners wisely. T#%S IV will
last for 13 turns, so pick a partner you can stand for 6 months or so. The only
team I know of so far is last TOGS winners: Ganolus Oakleaf/Hombre of Blood
Related/Thieves Guild. Hey, this is fun!
2. The T#%S entry fee is 2 team setups per manager. This means 4 setups per T#%S
team. This entry fee is required before the start of the tourney with no
exceptions being made. This is to ensure that nobody gets screwed if a team or
manager decides to back out early. To pay the entry fee either:
a) send $10 cash/check/money order/ or whatever to me personally at:
Andy Salveson
6812 Romanzo Way
Elk Grove, CA 95758
b) get RSI to send me 2 team setup gift certificates. Sorry, no credit cards and
no old teams you have lying around will be accepted.
3. T#%S point system:
10 points for winning on your up-challenge against another T#%S warrior.
7 points for winning on your even challenge of another T#%S warrior.
7 points for winning on another T#%S warriors challenge.
7 points for winning a random matchup against another T#%S warrior.
4 points for winning on your down-challenge of another T#%S warrior.
4 points for winning a random matchup against a non-T#%S warrior. Do not fight
your team mate, you will not get any points. Also, you will not get any points
if you challenge or get challenged by a non-T#%S team, so use your avoids
wisely if you think someone is out to get you.
10 points for being the Duelmaster. This is in addition to all points listed
above and will begin turn 1, so prep accordingly.
5 points for every spotlight written by any team member, 1 per manager per turn.
The minimum length of a spotlight to receive points is 1/2 column in the
newsletter (that's 31 lines-each line 85 characters across) and I will be
completely firm on this. In addition to the length criteria, spotlights will
not be given points if they are in any way plagiarized or if they are not
Duelmasters or fantasy related. I will be the sole judge of this. If you're
unsure if I will judge something to be Duelmasters or fantasy related, then
e-mail me before you write the spotlight and ask me. I reserve the right to
take points away from a spotlight after they are given if I judge at a later
time that the spotlight has been plagiarized.
-5 points per manager per turn every time a manager does not at least write one
personal ad.
-5 points for being the team that avoided the most.
If you participated in TOGS III, you'll notice some slight changes in the points
structure. The main things are points for random match ups against non T#%S
warriors, bonus points for being the Duelmaster, new spotlight criteria, and no
points given for being the most avoided team.
4. I already mentioned this, but T#%S IV will start the first turn in arena 60 after
the Fall Mail-In runs and it will last for 13 turns. There will not be a
Survivor format this time around, meaning no eliminations. I will still be doing
the multipliers at the end, however. This means that all points accumulated by a
team on turns 10 and 11 will be multiplied by 1.5 and all points accumulated by
each team on turns 12 and 13 will be multiplied by 2.
5. Prizes are yet to be determined, but I'll tell you what I know. There will be
prizes given out each turn to whichever team scores the most combined points on a
given turn. Tie breakers will go to the team with the most wins on that turn and
then to the team with most overall points. I have asked RSI for the same prizes
as last TOGS which were transferring any warrior to arena 60 and renaming Aradi
for approximately 6 months, but we'll see what they come back with. I haven't
decided how to split the prizes up, partly because I don't know how many teams
will be entering yet, but I do know the prizes will be split among the top 3
teams at the end. I will announce the exact breakdown of everything when I know
more.
6. And just like TOGS III, Death Stud and I will be the sole arbiters of any dispute
that may arise. Whine all you like, but as Nuln told you last time, that's how
it is.
7. M & RR Clause (go ahead, read between the capitals): I reserve the right to
disallow entry to this tourney if you have a previous history of being a big fat
mouth about everything.
I think that pretty much covers it. I will be accepting team entries as of now
and then posting them in the newsletters as I receive entry fees. Please feel free
to e-mail me regarding any questions or comments at Ganolus@aol.com. So everyone don
your best pair of leg warmers, hop on your favorite farm animal, and ride to Aradi
for the 4th kinda-annual Tournament that must not be named for no apparent reason
whatsoever, or T#%S IV, for short. See ya'll there!

To All Managers -- I would like to take this time to announce that my alliance, The
Association, is no more. Due to the dead weight managers of the alliance and their
lack of participation, DarkSpirit and I have formed a new alliance: The Firm. We
have taken on two members so far and are looking for a few more. If you would like
to find out more about The Firm, you can diplo Dark Spirit, Unknowns XX in arena 15
or myself, Sungod, Sadists F2FII in arena 62.
--* The Firm *--
Sungod -- Sadists F2FII -- 62
Dark Spirit -- Unknowns XX -- 15
Youngblood -- Wensinwasin -- 43
Tripwire -- Of Wolf and Man -- 1
