SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly DAL SHANG games. TEBAS TEN KOGAN caught the eye of
many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested KORKA THE HAIRY and was
awarded 16 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, MANO TIKI
TIA put down JESSE TAVAN, causing her to lose 5 points of recognition in the process.
Although WITCH DOCTOR made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign
of victorious TITANIA. No confirmation, but my sources claim that the top team has
gained their position using magical aids. Charmed weapons perhaps?
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city DAL SHANG. Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those
below. JESSE TAVAN take warning! You have more than a few enemies in DAL SHANG.
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! I have seen warriors die in youth. I have seen
men cut down in their prime. This week REFUGEES must mourn the loss of 8-4-0
PORGARAL to DAL SHANG. Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the
arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off
city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier
than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

Gracious Melody -- (frowning) It would have been more gracious of you to teach me
something. -- Jesse Tavan
P.S. And I don't mean, teach me to sing. I can't carry a tune, tunes are too heavy.
And slippery. They always get away from me.
Captain Awesome -- Er...okay, if you insist. Of course I'll tell everyone how
awesome you are. Er, of course. Even Jesse Tavan, but I'm not sure she'll believe
me. She's, uh, well, she doesn't believe people who say somebody's awesome. She,
um, well, she questions my judgment, you know? Weird, unjustified, but there it is.
-- Durvan
Mim Yellowhair dyes it. Well, bleaches it. You can see the dark roots. But then,
what can you expect from an Orc? -- Kassila tyl Dru
Yeah, and Normar the Blond bleaches HIS, too. It looks rotten on him. -- Tebas ten
Kogan
Gosh, I knew elves were sneaky, but I never expected one to pull off even one riposte
with only two fingers. But if he doesn't stop parrying with his hand, he's going to
be Herrol No-Finger. -- -- Lorgan ten Varn
Edge -- Missed, in what sense? -- Li Dan, Sand Dancers
The Swami -- (wincing) Well, YOU aren't missing anything. At least, not any of your
targets. That HURTS. -- Dakoril
Merri Holidaze -- Cheese, I thought you were going to help make my holidays merry.
And then you hit me again.... -- Churro the Spike
Sagat of Paidan -- Consider that the working out of a bloodfeud, you fiend. --
Porgaral
Crystal Runeblade -- If that blade's magic, then you shouldn't bring it into the
arena. I can't be held responsible for fighting a magic weapon. That isn't in my
job description. -- Gobarl
The Swami -- Yeah, but some damned fly-by-night killed him. -- Churro the Spike
Edge -- I didn't realize I was supposed to welcome you. Er...come on down to the
Burning Unicorn, and I'll buy you all a round of drinks. -- Dakoril

Youngblood's Three and Out Contest
I would like to take this time to announce and invite all managers to compete in what
I think will be an awesome contest. If you haven't ever TC'd at a tourney before,
here is your chance. The contest will start Wednesday, December 1, 2004, but a
chance will be given November 17 to dark arena, only, any warrior that you do not see
fit to run in the contest. So now that I have your attention, here are the rules
(like you didn't know they were coming sooner or later).
1. Any manager participating can enter one team, only.
2. No sandbagging whatsoever. (I will keep up with it, every turn.)
3. No teams or warriors will be allowed to run after contest starts.
4. All warriors will run until they lose three times, after three losses they are
eliminated.
5. If a warrior sits out a turn, they are accounted with a loss in the contest.
This is to keep warriors with winning records from sitting out until the end of
the contest.
6. If a warrior is killed during the contest, the replacement cannot enter the
contest.
7. If a warrior is killed, bloodfeuding is allowed, but only by a warrior that is
active in the contest.
8. If a warrior is run after being eliminated, the manager is disqualified from the
contest, no questions asked.
9. Challenges are legal, up or down.
10. Contest will keep going until 1 warrior is left without three losses, and that
warrior, of course, is accounted the winner.
11. All managers participating will be asked to purchase a rollup certificate, to be
awarded to the winners of the contest.
<<<PRIZES>>>
As I have already said, and according to participation, rollups will be awarded
to the first and second place managers. So the majority and minority of the rollups
will be determined when all are accumulated.
Contest Champion--2 Faves prizes, and majority of rollup certificates
Contest Runner-up--1 Faves prize, and minority of rollup certificates
So once again I invite all managers old and new to participate in what should be
a fierce and challenging contest. <<<REMEMBER, FIRST OFFICIAL TURN OF THE CONTEST IS
DECEMBER THE FIRST, AND AS I SAID BEFORE, THE TURN BEFORE (NOVEMBER 17TH) YOU MAY
DARK ARENA CHALLENGE ONLY!!! ANY WARRIOR WITH ANY FE (FIGHT EXPERIENCE) WHEN THE
CONTEST STARTS WILL BE ELIMINATED FROM THE CONTEST.
