SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in
AMEN-TEI. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid! Hey
everybody, watch out for ROADKILL, who flew up 15 points in the rankings after
mashing VISITING ORC like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. And falling like a
basher in the top ten was ROADBLOCK, who dropped 5 points after a disappointing (to
say the least) bout with FURTIVE RETURNS II. Well, everybody's pal SABURO SAKAI
moved his record to 6-0-0 by defeating M. CHARDINEE in the Duelmaster's Title Bout
and gaining 11 recognition points. Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get
a bigger halberd!
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid WAYFARERS, please raise you hand.
Wow. Does AMEN-TEI really have that many liars? Okay, so I may not be funny, but
catch WAY OF THE BLADE 2's act in the arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft
at running from WAYFARERS.
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Ask not the elves for counsel,
for they will say both yes and no. Silly buggers, eh?
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian,
but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. Hasta la bye-bye. (Loud
choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Shinden-Kai -- Ah. -- Roadkill, feeling like one
Toryu -- Aha. I liked that one. Probably can't do it again, though. -- Hitch Hiker
Furtive Returns II -- That'll teach you to be furtive, you beanpole! -- Roadblock
I seem to have gotten the wrong newsletter with this turn, and I don't have the
energy to go hunting for the right one, so that's it from us today. -- Leeta,

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
