                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, Warriors of VALAMANTIS.  Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to 
give you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport.  Practice pays for 
DELTA EQUULEI, who pummelled PETE MOSS, to pocket 19 points.  Win some, lose some.  
Speaking of which, DELTA EQUULEI was winsome, after beating PETE MOSS and seeing him 
lose 18 points.  SIKWIT successfully staved off a grab for the roses by NEOSHA PALMER 
of MIDDLE WAY 10.  Does VALAMANTIS have no one talented enough to dethrone him?  So 
who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees?  
Someone's got a basic problem...   
     My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter. 
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights!   
     Is there life after death?  Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after 
life!  Ask not for whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.   
     All good things must come to an end.  More important duties call me.  Do not 
despair!  I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir

                             HALLOWEEN TOURNAMENT UPDATE

	It has come to our attention that a warrior, Voodoo Toad 85-14776, was sent to 
the Dark Arena and slain in order to be classed as a Dead Challenger in this past 
Halloween Tournament.  As this warrior is a Zombie, this was against the rules because 
immortal warriors may not challenge the Dark Arena.  (An exception is granted so a 
warrior may challenge the Dark Arena on his very last turn after receiving an 
invitation to Advanced Duelmasters, so he can show his prowess with the Dark Arena 
monsters, but this may not be used as a method of classing in the dead tournament if 
he happens to die in the night fight.) 
	To correct this injustice, we changed the fight result for all warriors who 
lost to Voodoo Toad to a win for that turn.  This gave two warriors, Crazy 54 84-11494 
of Crazy 88 15 and Sarokith 84-30929 of Dub O Dubs, an ending record of 8-3, which 
grants them Tournament Victor status and resurrection. 
	We realize this is not a perfect solution but hope it will make some amends 
for the warriors who lost to this misclassed warrior.
