SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report. Sit
back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis. We now have a
new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on. FAVORITE GUYS now holds the crown
and they are betting they can keep it. Coming up with a solid 5-0-0 outing, FAVORITE
GUYS has advanced 3 places in the rankings. Hey everybody, watch out for GRAHAM
CRACKER, who flew up 20 points in the rankings after mashing EMBEZZLING SCRIBE like a
melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on
the sands. SABA EL KEER was subdued by TAIL IN THE AIR and drops 6 points. Well
here's a duelmaster that doesn't sit back and say 'Challenge me'! COOL CAT made a
Dark Arena Challenge against BANDIT PRINCE this week. The crowds were amazed this
turn, as BANDIT PRINCE killed the Duelmaster, COOL CAT, leaving ARENA FELINES in
mourning. This incredible death has allowed, I might add, TAIL IN THE AIR from ARENA
FELINES to ascend to the throne of Duelmaster, and I hear DARK ARENA is not happy.
Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff?
Here is other news that is of note. Here's a song for you: Who's afraid of the
big, bad FAVORITE GUYS? Big bad FAVORITE GUYS. Big bad FAVORITE GUYS. JURINE's
afraid of the big bad FAVORITE GUYS. Tra la la la la! And you guys like to boo me?
Well, unsling your rasberries, cause PATRIOTIC beats feet every time FAVORITE GUYS
smiles at them. Try farming, eh? Well just about everybody wants a piece of TAIL IN
THE AIR, who was this week's most challenged warrior. In a touching display by a
'touched' warrior, KILLIN' DILLON went after SHIVAREE SJDEN, who was higher by 18
points. Well, when the dust settled, KILLIN' DILLON was put to death by SHIVAREE
SJDEN.
Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). Here's some advice: warriors with little
wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.
Well, there's the manager of the JURINE giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). Well, there goes another Spy Report.
Good luck in next week's fights. And remember, you can pick your friends and you can
pick your--(loud boos), oh, you've heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Well, well, well, I finally got my invite! Thank you Delores, I knew you'd get it
done. My numbers: 13(1)-10(1)-15-17-12(2)-6-15 striker. AdEx in initiative, Ex in
riposte and decisiveness. Favorites: Great sword, low offensive, low activity.
Innate ability in responsive, but learn riposte. Oh well, I'm out of here. -- Saba
El Keer
Cool Cat -- Congrats on your invite. I hope to never see you again. -- Saba El Keer
Jorja -- So it is Malcorn behind the treachery! We should have conquered that
heathen village long ago. We'll have to do something about this. -- Noachian
Patriotic -- Welcome to Jurine! May the blessings of Our Lord Kjarran be with you.
-- Noachian, Servant of Kjarran, mgr. Blade and Blood
Timo -- It seems our fates are connected. As long as you keep losing, I'll keep
winning. So whatever you do, don't win before I graduate. -- Shivaree
Saba El Keer -- Why didn't you learn anything? Weren't you paying attention? I was
demonstrating good stuff there. It isn't everybody who can demonstrate good stuff
while being stomped into the sand, you know. You shouldn't waste it. -- Delores
Kit-Kat -- I have to admit, the idea of having a kit-kat is very appealing just now.
I always turn to chocolate for solace. -- Keta
Xander Haxan -- (sternly) You'd better get a more armor, because I don't want to
kill you just because you're so inept that you can't defend yourself. I'm not a
killer, and if you die, it's all going to be YOUR fault. You're probably a dier. --
Chillil Ces
Big Bad Brady -- Of course I'm worthless and weak, you moron. That's why I have an
oh-fer record. Do you think I hadn't NOTICED? -- Timo
P.S. Say something patriotic.
Noachian -- They might actually be getting better. Other managers have noticed, too.
But they don't TEACH better, unfortunately. -- Jorja
20 April 2005
I have returned after a five-year absence. I expect all tithes, gifts and bequeaths
to resume as normal. -- Magic Man
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!
