SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
VALAMANTIS brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. THE DEN OF SWORDS turned their
4-1-0 turn into a 2nd place rank in the listings this turn. Any better than this,
and you get put on hit lists. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see BRUCE
WILLIS win a fight and gain 18 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, MISTRESS beat EURO SHARK
and EURO SHARK lost 14 points. You're breakin' my heart. And it's out with the old,
in with the new, as DOZER takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old
Duelmaster. Heh, heh. The Aradi Alyia, humph! I've tasted better ale at
mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From VALAMANTIS' trash dumps?
My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start
talking.' I loved that woman. VALAMANTIS, I am losing what little hope I had in you.
SAMURAI KIDS II the most avoided team? What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And
who led the way in this mass act of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It
was LATE SHOW. Ha ha ha ha! CRYSALIS was challenged more times this turn than the
Duelmaster. Now was the DM insulted or feared? Heh, heh.
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for VALAMANTIS'
morgue. More variety. We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if the fate
catches up with you sooner that later?
I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for
an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Phlllt! Just had to do that before
I leave the fine city of VALAMANTIS. I feel much better now. I see the crowds are
getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
Better Not Die -- Nice fight, honey. I must say though, the way you were swinging
that pointy thing of yours around I thought you might have an aneurysm. Made me
nervous and I couldn't concentrate. After all, You Better Not Die!-- Holly Mackeral
Evil Weevil -- I am not a very outspoken warrior but I feel I must offer up my
respects to you and your stable. You gave me a run for my money and I greatly
enjoyed the challenge. -- Dozer
Arsernio Hall -- Are you for real?? A halberd?? I am surprised I didn't break out
in laughter during our fight. Lucky for you your manager supplied you with a full
helm. Ha ha.... -- Silver Death
Hombre -- It pleased me to see you return to your old stomping grounds yet just as
soon as you arrive you leave. I hope you are planning on returning. -- Tmoney (The
Chaos Bringer), manager of The Den of Swords
Indimar -- Glad you could hold down the fort in the way of personal ads. I am back
ready to talk the smack if you open that big mouth of yours. -- Tmoney (The Chaos
Bringer), manager of the Den of Swords

ZalCon2 Updates (1/9/04)
The contest will be starting on the turn due February 23rd, 2004 and run for 20
turns.
Only one team will be allowed for each manager in the contest, regardless of
whether additional teams are announced as contest entries. No exceptions for any
reason.
The Style Master points should read that there is +1 point for beating a member
of your own style even if the warrior is not registered for the contest.
Rolling points for consecutive turns as Style Master means that your warrior
gets the extra point every turn after the first 3 that he continues to hold the
title.
The points for Quality Wins should be clarified to read the winning warrior is
ranked below by the number of recognition points needed for each bonus point at the
start of the fight. For example, Warrior A (3-2-0, 17) beats Warrior B (4-1-0, 35)
and receives 2 bonus points under Quality Win for the 18 point difference in the
ranking.
I believe that is all the clarifications for the moment, please feel free to
email, diplo, call or write me with any other questions or concerns about the
contest.

CHAOTIC WINDS
Once, long ago, the four Winds of Time descended upon Alastari like a TEMPEST of
epic proportions, they slew everything within their all-encompassing reach. They
left nothing. In their wake lay smoldering ruins.
In their haste they sped towards the center of this great land like a colossal
giant would step across an ocean. The four storms picked up momentum on their way
towards each other. A collision was eminent.
The first storm wind, the oldest and wisest of the four was named APEXALUS. The
second, FLAGGSTAFF, was the quickest and loudest entity ever created. The third Wind
of Time was MATRIATIN, neither old or young, quick or slow, but fierce and feisty all
the same. The forth wind, ASSAMITHIUS, the youngest yet most creative in its means
of destruction.
When finally they merged at the center of ALASTARI, an incredible destructive
explosion occurred. And when the smoke and debris cleared they were one. CHAOS was
born.
And Chaos spread across the diminished lands reeking havoc and doom with its
passing, and destroying allover again that which already lay in ruin.
