SPY REPORT
Good day, in AMEN-TEI a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.
So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. And let's see, SHINDEN-KAI fought
ROADKILL and gained 19 points and contributed to EMPIRE OF THE SUN's 3-2-0. ROADKILL
has lost to SHINDEN-KAI, falling 15 points, while helping make WAYFARERS a 2-1-0
turn. The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and SABURO SAKAI remains
AMEN-TEI's top warrior for another turn. Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear
the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Welcome Wench until they
win. Maybe?
I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling. A basher
friend of mine assures me this is true.
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. A brave warrior does not carry a
red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your swords
sharp and your hammers heavy. Until you see my quill in AMEN-TEI again, farewell--

PERSONAL ADS
I really feel that this allegedly "noble" assassin should be hung from a bridge. We
shouldn't tolerate people like this in our city. The man is nothing but a murderer
for hire, and while I can, in a way, understand someone committing one's OWN murder,
doing it for hire is repugnant. -- Shady Lady
Hayabusa -- Well, if you stay off the roads, you're safe from me. I'm a pussycat,
really. -- Roadkill
Shinden-Kai -- But...I wanted to go the OTHER way! Let me out! -- Hitch Hiker
20 April 2005
I have returned after a five-year absence. I expect all tithes, gifts and bequeaths
to resume as normal. -- Magic Man
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.

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!
