When the Refugees go 4-0, it should be a cause for celebration, not embarrassment. But we fought four standbys. What is this arena coming to? Forla P.S. We were obviously very SUCCESSFULLY most avoided. SPY REPORT So why do I have this bag over my head? Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and I'm going to give you a spy report!. Say good-bye to REFUGEES, as they are pushed from the coveted top team spot by the DARK TOADS stable. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. CHURRO THE HOOK was overcame by TAIPAN and drops 11 points. In front of all the crowds, AMPLITUR took the Duelmaster's crown for its own. I give the bum two weeks. Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff? Here is other news that is of note. Did you hear that DARK TOADS was most avoided team this week? Well, knowing the personal hygiene of DARK TOADS' warriors, I'm not surprised! Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch PARANOIA's act in the arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from DARK TOADS. Well dang howdy, but if challenges were votes, MARDEN VOSS would be president. Although it may be a contest he doesn't want to win. In a touching display by a 'touched' warrior, WAIS went after MARDEN VOSS, who was higher by 21 points. Well, when the dust settled, WAIS bested MARDEN VOSS. Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the most interesting, though! Remember: alliances are great, but try and take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens. Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in DAL SHANG have no sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some tracks.

Sorry our fight was so short.... -- Human Jeanine -- Just can't get away from you, can I (or is it the other way around?)? Sorry about the broken spear, least I can do is buy you a new one! -- Gizmo Durvan -- I was hoping to get some skills by challenging you but looks like I'm teaching you instead. BTW, I was running 7-10-5 with no tactic and I got the jump on you, even though I'm a defensive style and you're an offensive one. What you got against the Decise tactic? -- Doohickey Poor Joss Tavan...taken before his time by a guy afraid of...hmmm, bet he's glad we can't target the posterior! -- Darkfist Marden Voss -- Wow, neat trick with the parries. Well, you gave me a chance to try out my war hammer. Worked well enough but I'm worried about all those small shield crits...PLEASE don't let that be my favorite! -- Whatchamacallit Amplitur -- (somewhat taken aback) You do have an ample capacity to suck up the skills. -- Tessa tyl Kogan P.S. Too bad you can't teach as well. Whatchamacallit -- You don't want to know, trust me. -- Marden Voss Doohickey -- Gah. -- Durvan Human -- That was not human, that was beastly. -- Ming the Terrible Proctophobia -- Well, DARN. -- Ghost of Joss Tavan Wais -- Of course I know my record was 12-30 or whatever it was. That isn't the kind of thing you can overlook. -- Churro 10 May 2003 To All -- Fellow managers, I humbly request your help. My team (Ex Oblivione) was started in Monuntial (DM 34) back in '92. They were active for seven months. I have lost all early traces of them. If any of you can help with copies of relevant newsletters or, if you fought one of my warriors, copies of the fights, I would greatly appreciate it. I only have one of my original warriors left from the early team now active in DM 60. You can diplo me with any info here in the wonderful city of Aradi. Thank you in advance. -- Enigma, manager Ex Oblivione 15 May 2003 Assurnasirbanipal invites all to use his computerized warrior management tool. The program is the most extensive management tool ever created. It was meant to run on a PALM OS PDA, but will run (emulated) on a PC or MAC. You can get this program on the web at: http://www.geocities.com/assurnasir 27 May 2003 A note to everyone regarding manager names and manager lists -- If you're running a team incognito, all you have to do is let me know and I won't put your name on any manager lists. It has seemed though, that more people want their names listed, even if they do not announce themselves, than the other way around. Also, I do maintain the list more or less by hand and errors do creep in. You have but to say I've made an error and no one will be the wiser (except thee and me, of course). -- The Saint, keeper of lists LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS DISORDER bested TESSA TYL KOGAN in a crowd pleasing 1 minute Challenge fight.

DOOHICKEY savagely defeated KOREEN in a action packed 1 minute gory duel. DURVAN defeated POLWHIS THE CANDLE in a 1 minute match.
