SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly AMEN-TEI games. DEEVINE caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested MARIO ANDRETTI and was awarded 24
points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, DEEVINE put down
MARIO ANDRETTI, causing him to lose 20 points of recognition in the process.
Although HOBO JO made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of
victorious LOCKHEART. Informants "close" to the city champion have told me that he
never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor. Watch out!
Many and various are the arts of battle. In AMEN-TEI "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language! I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when
this week's challenge seeking began. SAFE HAVEN is feared. This much I can say. If
you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any of THE
FORSAKEN last week. Busy avoiding SAFE HAVEN?
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! Some say a warrior is judged by the way he bears
arms. One thing is sure, better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt!
The girls are as pretty in AMEN-TEI as ever I remembered them....and the
fighters as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Sadly warriors, now longer can I
keep thy company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till
we meet again, remember: a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no
one; a lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Tindel -- But I don't WANT to avoid you! Oh, sure, on the sands, if there was
anybody else. But not OFF the sands. I LIKE you. -- Selaunah
Deevine -- Oh, NO! I broke two of your fingernails--how can you ever forgive me for
that? They were so PERFECT. (wincing slightly) So strong and sharp.... -- Hobo Jo
What IS it with this Ruthless Jaywalker? WHY can't he go to the corner and use the
crosswalk? Yes, I know that nobody will even consider running him down anymore, not
since he wrenched the wheel off a chariot and broke the axel with his gloved hands
(not BARE, because axels are so DIRTY). But still. Will nothing teach him the
courtesy of the road and sidewalk? -- Passer By
Sera -- You may as well laugh. I won't hate you the more for it. Because these
stockings are RUINED, and they were very expensive silk ones, imported from the Isles
of the South where they had been knitted by nimble-fingered children trained in that
art from birth. I fear that to replace them will be impossible. (sigh) They were a
gift, you know. From, well, let us call him a "secret admirer." -- Shady Lady
Secret Doom -- Why would I want to take up learning to fight as a hobby? Fighting
bores me. Such rude and uncouth people enjoy doing it, or enjoy watching it. I have
no wish to be numbered among them. -- The N-Iceman
11 November 2004
All you alliance-type people, I'm trying (again!) to get my alliance listing correct
and up to date. Either send me a diplo (address it to The Saint) or send your
updates to me directly at Sue at solberg-mathews.com. As you may guess, replace the
at with @ and you're good to go (I do hate spammy mail and this will end up on the
web).
I have information on the following alliances: ADIO, Allied Axis, Armada,
Brotherhood of Justice, Brotherhood of the Blade, Cadre, CDC, Chaos, Inc., Circle of
Order, Company of Brothers, Consortium, Council of Lords, Couple Good Guys, Crimson
Vengeance, DOA, DOOMcorps, Enigmafia, Eurosquad, Fascist Federation, FONZ,
Frothingslosh Syndicate, GAPPDA, Homeland Alliance, IT Alliance, Jingoists, kLk,
Knights of the Covenant, LBA, League Arcane, Legion6, Living Essences, Lords and
Ladies of Darkness, Manic Union, Midnight Foundation, Minions of Diana, Monarchs of
Montezuma, NCA, NIMROD, R.A.G.E., Seventh Sons, The Firm, The French Connection,
Vendett@ United, and the Vendetta Cartel.
If you are a member of one of these alliances, let me know. If you are a member of
some other alliance that isn't listed, let me know. If you were at any point in your
past a part of one of these alliance but are now independent, also let me know.
Going inactive doesn't mean you get removed from this list; people are assumed to
still be in the same alliance when they return. Even having everyone in an alliance
go inactive doesn't change anything. If an alliance is officially disbanding, that's
another thing you have to let me know....
The Saint, keeper of lists
P.S. If you already responded to my online plea (and I replied), you can ignore
this.

Hammer 500-Hammer Run for the Roll Ups
Hosted by Hammer
Niytyole Island DM 33 has dwindled to the point where as of T-482 [duedate
November 3, 2004] there were only 2 active stables listed with 3 inactive stables in
a once thriving and lively regular arena.
During the past 40+ cycles Hammer has been hosting the Hammer Run for the Roll
Ups in DM 33.
Thus far only the Ripper and Slasher categories have produced winners to claim
the 5 New Team Roll Ups Prize for being the first declared Style Master of their
respective categories to graduate.
Every contending stable has gone inactive for one reason or another, including
CASINO HAMMERZ, over the past several months.
Now DM 33 faces the harsh reality that if RSI chooses to close any arenas due to
little or no interest, Niytyole Island could very well head the list of endangered
regular arenas!
In an effort to preserve his beloved island, Hammer is announcing the
continuation of the Hammer Run for the Roll Ups; combined with the Hammer 500 which
will conclude both contests on T-500 [duedate July 13, 2005] should DM 33 continue to
remain open in the coming months.
Attention Hammer Runners!
The Hammer Run is for 0 FE Basic Arena Warriors ONLY. Participants MUST Be
Declared in the P-ads On or Before their First DM 33 Basic Arena Fight to Qualify as
a Hammer Runner! Winners of Each Category will receive 5 New Team Roll Up Gift
Certificates mailed from RSI courtesy of Hammer! [On the condition that they
Graduate on or before T-500; see amended rules below!]
The following Style Master categories remain open with a listing of how many
declared contestants are still entered and their W/L recognition record at the time
of their disappearance from the Hammer Run competition:
(P-ad declarations in parenthesis)
[Manager name/Stable name in brackets] followed by their last known W/L

As you can plainly see, the Hammer Run is still wide open in several categories,
depending upon whether or not the deactivated stables are reactivated for the Hammer
500-Hammer Run for the Roll Ups contest!
Any declared warrior who succeeds in graduating by T-500 will win 5 New Team
Roll Ups Gift Certificates mailed from RSI courtesy of Hammer! Gift Certs will be
awarded as soon as possible upon official graduation if the graduation occurs prior
to T-500.
On T-500 the highest ranked ACTIVE declared warrior in the category(s) without a
Graduate will win 2 New Team Roll Ups Gift Certificates mailed from RSI courtesy of
Hammer!
Additional Hammer 500-Hammer Run for the Roll Ups Gift Cert Prizes:
Five (5) Gift Certs will be awarded to the manager whose warrior claims the
Duelmaster Throne on T-500.
Two (2) Gift Certs will be awarded to the manager(s) whose warrior(s) are listed
as the highest Active Challenger Champion, Champion, Challenger Adept, Adept,
Challenger Initiate and Initiate on T-500.
In the event that NO Duelmaster is seated upon the Duelmaster Throne on T-500
there will be Three (3) Gift Certs awarded to the managers whose Active warriors are
tied for recognition points at the Top of the Challenger Champions recognition
standings. [Therefore, the Top CC will be awarded 3 Gift Certs instead of 2 for
being ranked as the highest CC on T-500].
One (1) Gift Cert will be awarded to the manager(s) whose warrior(s) graduate on
T-500.
One (1) Gift Cert will be awarded to the manager(s) whose warrior(s) receive
their graduation announcement on T-500.

SHOULD RSI CHOOSE TO CLOSE DM 33 PRIOR TO T-500 ONLY THE HIGHEST ACTIVE DECLARED
STYLE MASTER CONTESTANTS WILL BE AWARDED TWO (2) GIFT CERTS AND ALL OTHER PRIZE
CATEGORIES WILL BE DECLARED NULL AND VOID BY HAMMER!!!!!!!!!
The purpose of this contest is to restore DM 33 to a lively and entertaining
arena!
Hammer is willing to foot the Prize bill in a last ditch effort to save Niytyole
Island from deletion if RSI and the Gladiatorial Commission decide that more arenas
need to be closed due to lack of participation and interest.
Should this effort fail to spare DM 33 from deletion, then Hammer is prepared to
transfer CASINO HAMMERZ to another arena if Niytyole Island is closed by RSI and the
Gladiatorial Commission.
