SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of JURINE! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. PETER DAVISON caught the eye of many in
the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested VONNER WESS and was awarded 20
points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, DAVID TENNANT put
down DELLEA ERAMIN, causing her to lose 16 points of recognition in the process. Due
to his absence and inability to defend the throne, COUNTER OFFER has lost the title
of Duelmaster. This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper. All hail WALLIS
YENT, Duelmaster of JURINE! Would you believe that over half of the old women in
JURINE seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators?
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city JURINE.
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers
the miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? More than a sharp eye must I keep, indeed a
stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari await me!
Till next we meet remember: a fool flies into a rage quickly and often. The wise
are angered by the same thing only once. Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Counter Offer -- That was one I couldn't refuse, and I can't say I totally wanted to,
either. Good to see someone other than the Doctors here. -- Barlo Chells
Tom Baker -- Hmm, looks like Barlo might have been right about you last time. --
Wallis Yent
Hugh Grant -- (snicker) H'you granted me a victory here, and I'll take it. -- Vonner
Wess
Peter Davison -- Weird. You Doctors can't seem to win today. What's with that? --
Zakalus Ardon
David Tennant -- Zak might think it "weird," but it seems reasonable to me that you
should all lose to us. -- Dellea Eramin

specifically, but for best success, send PLAIN TEXT (dot txt) in the body of the

Please note that all new teams created at the Face-to-Face were temporarily placed in
a temporary Tournament Arena, DM 85. If you requested that your team be placed in a
specific arena, it has already transferred to that arena. Any teams not transferred
out of DM 85 by October 1 will be deleted. If you have questions about any of your

WINTER FACE-TO-FACE IN SUNNY ARIZONA!
Our next winter FTF will be held in Tempe, Arizona, January 14-16, 2011. It will be
held at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Tempe, Arizona (480-894-7444), the same hotel as
last year by popular request. Room rates are $129.00 per night, 1-2 occupancy, which
includes full cooked breakfast, complimentary manager's reception (yes, really!), free
airport shuttle, free parking and free high speed internet. There's a fitness center,
jacuzzi, and pool. The rooms are blocked--please make your reservation by December 22
before the block is released! (This is prime season for Phoenix, and people have been
unable to book rooms because they waited too long.) Look for the tournament info
sheet and minioverviews some time in December. We hope you're all looking forward to
it and that we will see you there!
