SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in DAL SHANG this turn, and let's
start with a look at some of the teams. And let's see, WITCH DOCTOR fought JESSE
TAVAN and gained 16 points and contributed to MYSTERY MACHINE's 3-1-0. TEBAS TEN
KOGAN has lost to THE SWAMI, falling 3 points, while helping make SAND DANCERS a
2-3-0 turn. Well done, DAL SHANG, the Duelmaster was this turn's most challenged
warrior. Perhaps TITANIA is not as thrilled, being challenged 2 times. MANO TIKI
TIA challenged for the Duelmastership this turn, attempting to dethrone SUPERIOR
FORCES 3J's warrior. The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and
TITANIA remains DAL SHANG'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
Blazing Unicorn until they win. Maybe?
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. SAND DANCERS has cause to stand tall, as they were DAL
SHANG's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. And guess
who avoided SAND DANCERS stable the most? Believe it or not, it was MYSTERY MACHINE.
Anyone surprised?
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover
or hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. 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 DAL SHANG again,
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Mano Tiki Tia -- My momma done tol' me, don't mess with no golems. Or words to that
effect. (sigh) So long as I stayed home in our village, that was not a problem.
There aren't any golems there. As if! But here in the arena...well, it's different.
-- Jesse Tavan
P.S. Don't you think you could get a gender attachment or something? I've heard
that they are available. And it would make things more interesting.
The Swami -- Ah, I see why you lost. You spent the whole fifty-five seconds of the
fight meditating fiercely in order to learn all those skills. Whew! It was
exhausting just watching you. -- Durvan
Oh, gods of my mother! The standbys again. I wish Jai Arral had let me really carve
up Sagat. Everyone from Paidan should be carved up, in fact. A bunch of thieves,
pirates, and cutthroats. -- Kassila tyl Dru
Ha! I dealt properly with Korka the Hairy! I followed the spy reporter's advice,
took a dagger, and shaved him close. Did he ever howl! -- Tebas ten Kogan, also
known as the Barber
So, when are they going to change this fool's name to Herrol One-Finger? Or No-
Finger? I'd be glad to help. Everyone knows half elves are even worse than elves
when it comes to being sneaky. -- Lorgan ten Varn
Assorted curses of great depth and vigor! Blasphemies! Wholesale imprecations! --
Ghost of Porgaral
It isn't that I really dislike Mim Yellowhair, in fact, she can be a lot of fun
during a night on the town, but I felt I had to defeat her as a way of indicating my
disapproval of Sagat of Paidan's unjustified slaying of Porgaral. A team solidarity
sort of thing. -- Churro the Spike
The way to handle Oltimal the Lame is to go for his legs. It's his primary weakness.
-- Dakoril
P.S. He really hates it when we start runs in his stockings. I chased one of those
stockings clear out of the arena! Never seen one run so fast.
I think Herrol Two-Finger is actually a wizard, or else in league with one.
Regenerating fingers. Nothing else explains it. -- Gobarl
A really good seamstress? -- Ed.

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.
