                                      SPY REPORT

     Thankyouthankyou.  It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in ARADI. 
Hope you enjoy the show.  Oh, who am I kidding?  I already got paid!  Say good-bye to 
THIEVES GUILD, as they are pushed from the coveted top team spot by the THE MISGUIDED 
stable.  A stormcloud is brewing over the THIEVES GUILD guildhouse.  Rumor says any 
more weeks like this ones 0-0-0 may send the team to the Dark Arena.  Coming up with 
a solid 4-1-0 outing, BEAKER PEOPLE has advanced 8 places in the rankings.  It looks 
like the guys(?) at THE MISGUIDED had a good week as they went 4-1-0 to put them in 
1st place.  I guess steroids help!  Hey everybody, watch out for ORIGINAL SHOCKER, 
who flew up 34 points in the rankings after mashing AMOUR DE COSMOS like a melon.  
Keep your eye on this guy.  Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the 
sands.  CUT-UM-MO was subdued by SALKARATH and drops 9 points.  SON OF BLOODLUST got 
through to the Duelmaster this turn.  No doubt he was more than anxious to kick 
BRUSHFIRE's tail out of the throne!  Our battling duelmaster BRUSHFIRE has managed to 
hold the title, fending off SON OF BLOODLUST's none too subtle advances.  Better luck 
next time, 4000 BLOWS.  An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day 
keeps T.P.s at bay.   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the ARADI arena.  Did you 
hear that CHEER-O-KEE'S was most avoided team this week?  Well, knowing the personal 
hygiene of CHEER-O-KEE'S' warriors, I'm not surprised!  And you guys like to boo me?  
Well, unsling your rasberries, cause INGRATE WHITE NORTH beats feet every time 
CHEER-O-KEE'S smiles at them.  Try farming, eh?  And who is this HANA-KALI you ask, 
with 38 points and a 9-7-1 record.  Ooh, the tales I could tell!  In a touching 
display by a 'touched' warrior, CLOUDGAZER went after PIERRE TRUDEAU, who was higher 
by 18 points.  Well, when the dust settled, CLOUDGAZER subdued PIERRE TRUDEAU.   
     Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day 
drinking to their memory.  Better tanked than dead!  For those of you who missed it, 
Death showed up, grabbed AMOUR DE COSMOS by the ear and took him away to a place 
where he won't need a coat.  THE MISGUIDED has one more week to get their bloodfeud 
off.  I talked to the manager, but he could only grunt 'MISS FORTUNE who?'.  Ya gotta 
luv em!  Here's some advice:  warriors with little wit and will may encounter 
problems on the trail to the Isle.   
     Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in ARADI have no 
sense of humor.  Or maybe that they were senseless.  Well, there goes another Spy 
Report.  Good luck in next week's fights.  Its been fun, and I'm sure you enjoyed it 
(boos).  Now that I've got you worked up for Snide Clemens, I'll be leaving-- The 
Unknown Spymaster

Whoooeyyy be gee be wanna be bop a luda!  Soulie-woley gone bye boppa woppa!
Yuckeronious! -- The Crazy Creepster

Soultaker lasted one short round (Pandora used to gripe about that!) of p-ads?  Same
old, same old. -- The Crazy Creeps Scribe.

No, Ed.  No.  We have seen boB's collection.  They ARE cows and sheep!  Icky!  (With
a flock of chickens and one crusty goat on the side.) -- The Crazy Creeps Scribe

     That sounds like an order from a really dodgy take-away place.  Yuck. -- Ed.

WE noticed that there were only a very SMALL amount of personals last time.  Was
death Stud exerting his influence? -- The Crazy Creeps Scribe

Soultaker -- Are you the guy in the TV commercial who pulls the one hair on top of
his head and unravels.  It must have gone as far as your hands, since you never write
personals. -- Shaman

Shaman -- Indeed I am back.  Indeed I am.  Indeed. -- Magic Man

Wow, the state of personal ads in this arena...well...sucks.  What did I come back
to?  Where the hell is everyone, eh? -- Magic Man

     They've all been pining for you!  I don't know what the new excuse will be
     though. -- Ed.

Nuln -- What the hey, eh?  Cat got your tongue?  No welcome back for your old roomie?
Well up yours then! -- Magic Man

Dooneushmun -- Vell, ven I made zee challenge, eet was not a downchallenge.  Zees eez
what 'appens when zee boss gets zee turnz in too late! -- Amour de Cosmos

Chinese Sparerib -- Ah man, what kind of a welcome back is that?  Bad enough your
challenge goes through but you win it too!!  This sucks! -- T.H.Bunny

Ghost -- Heeheehee...was good for me!  Was it good for you? -- Moose Mouse

Phreak -- Not a good challenge.  Nope, not a good challenge. -- Laura Secord

Hammer -- Also not a good challenge.  I guess we're just getting back into the swing
of things here.  Get it?  *Swing* of things.... *cough* -- Pierre Trudeau

Snotman -- What's with you guys?  Afraid to write stuff these days?  It just doesn't
have the same cozy feeling around here as it did, uh, five years ago. -- Magic Man

Creepster -- Just had to say hi to you, ya little freakster!  {{{wedgie!!}}} -- Magic
Man 

Crip -- You still bangin' swords against the wall?  How's life treatin' ya? -- Magic
Man

Soultaker -- I'd say hi to you but I doubt I'd get a reply, eh. -- Magic Man

Death Stud -- Studddddddddddddster!!!!!!!!! -- Magic Man

Is Sultan still around?  Where the hell are ya, man? -- Magic Man

Arenamaster Harkon -- Hasn't your scraggly old butt retired yet?  Was kinda hoping
you'd have been replaced by some buxom young blonde by now.  -- Magic Man

Snotman -- Oh yeah, Bloodlust is alive and well, and fighting next turn.  He should
be graduated lickity-split, eh. -- Magic Man

Hombre -- Hey, hombre!  How's it hanging, eh? -- Magic Man

One Timer -- If you're really like that, how come we meet again and again? -- Pretty
Boy

Moustached Rat -- Well, of course!  Anyone who WOULD go swimming with a rat,
especially a rat with a waxed mustache, would HAVE to be formidable.  It's a rule. --
Flower

Falcon Xli -- Gosh, a sinister dwarf with a cheesy mustache, what else could I DO?  I
just HAD to bite you.  It's my nature. -- Stevie

Dandy-Lion -- Well, cheese, you didn't have to pounce on me.  It was just a fight. --
The Tail

Holly Skull -- Well, I never DID like holly.  Too prickly.  If somebody throws a
holly stick, you know, a smart dog doesn't chase it. -- King

Ed. -- Yep, and you should see them when they've got their cow and sheep costumes
off.  Horrible creatures.  THINGS. -- Arenamaster Harkon
P.S.  I've been privately informed, by Someone In The Know, that we can only fight
the Clishay Gang every other cycle, because of some kind of conflict with Morya.  I
didn't realize that Morya had even HEARD of Aradi, much less declared war or at least
conflict on us, but there it is.

     Things?  Heavens forfend! -- Ed.
     P.S.  I suppose that's the best kind of conflict.  You can make all sorts of
     patriotic speeches and collect extra taxes, but never actually have to FIGHT
     anyone. -- Ed.

4 May 2005
Several questions have been asked about Slaughter's Challenge that I'd like to
address and clarify.
     1)  All Prizes must be used on the contest team, this includes the resurrection.
         Remember any fast arena team should be able to transfer to a slow arena
         (except for arena 82, I believe).
     2)  Warriors will be allowed to fight and run in the dead tourney, should there
         be one, and return if an opening can be made without breaking the rules
         (i.e. only one DA fight allowed per team).
     3)  If you win your single DA match you do not get another.  It's one use of the
         Dark Arena win or lose so if you want him/her/it dead be sure and throw the
         match!
     4)  The resurrection potion's longevity has been extended by the commission to 6
         months but the other potions (favorites, and +1 bonus) must still be used
         within 2 turns and on a 5 FE or higher warrior.  The resurrection can go on
         any warrior regardless of FE.
Street Legal

P.S.  My thanks to those already entered (Hammer, The Consortium, Tripwire, Stik, and
Shaman) and hope many more find a reason to come to arena 54.  Again, my email is
triumph1971@hotmail.com or you can diplo me in arena 14 at THE DEATH SQUAD (63) if
you need more info!

Amendment for "Fratsfas Quest for the Best!"
     Managers that have teams already established in Fratsfa need not have (3) three
warriors in the initiates.  FE will NOT be a factor.  Stables may be entered at any
time.  Just announce your stable in the p-ads.
     ***************************************************************************
     This in my invitation to all managers  who wish to prove their mettle against
managers from all over Alastari.  We have limited TP's in this contest to one a team
at a time.  We DO NOT want this contest to become a scum fest as many others have,
hence the Andorian arena.  Good luck to all who come to prove their skills.  "May
your enemies' blood flow freely" -- Dark Knight Toker, Desolate Empire Alliance
