SPY REPORT
The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon VALAMANTIS,
for I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned! Practice pays for BILBO, who pummelled FRATSFA
SLAVE, to pocket 16 points. A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and
practice more, after losing 10 points to ALTA CHESS. (Discrete enough, TRAIN WRECK?)
A certain someone saw DIO at Drake's Lodge with the shakes, and now he fails to show
up to defend his throne. What a pathetic slob! Now I can't insult BENSI DURN, as
she has gloriously dueled to the top. Oh great new Duelmaster!!! (Stop me if I lay
it on too thick) So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and
challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic problem...
So much to report, so little time!
Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after
life! Oh hard! that to strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!
Do not think spyreporting in VALAMANTIS is the highlight of my life. Keep those
sands bloody and the buzzards fat! Can anything compare to the pleasure of writing
Spyreports for VALAMANTIS? On that giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Dio -- WELL done, sir! -- Bensi Durn
P.S. Why the preoccupation with my chest, since you're a golem?
Train Wreck -- Running over me like that was unnecessary. I surrendered, and THEN
you just...chopped me up. I hate it when stuff like that happens. -- Doc Felle
Relentless -- Doesn't that get a bit wearing after a while? Never to relent, never
to relax, it must be terribly aging. If you don't mind my saying so, I can see it in
your face.... -- Alta Chess
Khalhums Dwarf isn't a dwarf, Fratsfa Slave isn't Fratsfan and probably isn't a slave
either. This is silly. Tedious, too, since it's been years, and the Commission
STILL hasn't been straightened out on this stuff. -- Darima Fenn and Eb Gollu,
absolutely themselves
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
