SPY REPORT
Hail VALAMANTIS! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for
your deeds. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown
for THE BOLT, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 6 into 8th. SADISTS F2F II
stable has parlayed this turn's 1-0-0 into a 5 space move up the rankings. This
brings them up to 6th place. Good work, guys! And let's see, NAMES fought AKLAR and
gained 18 points and contributed to SADISTS F2F II's 1-0-0. AKLAR has lost to NAMES,
falling 14 points, while helping make MITHRAL HALO a 2-2-0 turn. And all eyes were
on DAWNRACER this turn as he ascended to the throne of Duelmaster. VALAMANTIS has a
new victor! Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top team makes their
losing fighters do dishes at The Aradi Alyia until they win. Maybe?
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. I also notice that the AS SEEN ON TV stable was the most
avoided team this turn. Come on VALAMANTIS, what are you afraid of? And avoiding AS
SEEN ON TV more than any other team we find SAMURAI KIDS II. VALAMANTIS, are we
going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? The most challenged warrior this
turn was MITHRAL HALO's warrior GED. More fighters challenged him than challenged
the Duelmaster! KANNUCHI of SAMURAI KIDS II had better have a good reason for
challenging down 14 points in a challenge which he won. I thought KANNUCHI showed
great skill and promise when he defeated FLOWBEE JR. All right, so I slept through
it! Big deal!
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. The grave that AS SEEN ON TV had dug for EASY TWEEZE may yet be filled with
the body of SHEWISH GIANT. Seldom are the likes of this to be seen. EASY TWEEZE
lives still! Is it really true that VALAMANTIS has more dishwashers per capita that
fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. Always good to rest in VALAMANTIS, but never good to wear out my welcome.
Look for me in future turns. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper--
Alarond the Scribe

TOURNEY FREEZE CHANGE -- ADVANCE NOTICE
Beginning at the Winter Face-to-Face in Tempe (January 2004), we will implement
several changes affecting tournaments. The tournament announcement for the upcoming
FTF and future tourneys will reflect these changes.
First, we will eliminate the tourney freeze for all regular DM warrior classes.
Regular DM warriors will not be classed ahead of the tournament, but instead will
fight according to their FE on the date of the tourney. There will still be a freeze
for the ADM classes, occurring on the same timeline as before, approximately 6 weeks
before the tournament.
In addition to the above change, the warrior classes will be slightly altered.
The new tourney classes will be as follows:
DM Tourney Classes ADM Tourney Classes
====================== ======================
0 FE: Rookies Freshmen
1-4 FE: Apprentices ADM
5-10 FE: Initiates Eligibles
11-20 FE: Adepts ---induction---
21-30 FE: Champions Contenders
31+ FE: Challengers Primus
All regular DM tourney classes will remain solely FE based. All ADM classes will
now be based on warrior characteristics (i.e., the ADM split algorithm), including the
Freshmen class.
The Gateway and Primus arenas will be merging before the FTF to form one top
arena. These warriors will be split into two tournament classes, the Contenders and
the Primus classes, again based upon their characteristics. More information on this
will be published in the newsletters for those arenas.
If you have any questions about the above changes, please contact Customer
Service. Good luck in your games.
