SPY REPORT
Oh, hi. Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte. Thought I'd check out DAL SHANG to
see what's new. Too bad, SAND DANCERS, but TRILLIUM was just too good to be stopped.
The guys at THE MOTHERSHIP CE like really pulled together to get a 3-0-2 this turn,
moving up by 3. MVP award for MO STANK? THAT SMELL's proud of him after beating GO
CART MOZART and getting 23 points. Talk about yer big time losers! GO CART MOZART
got smashed by MO STANK, and lost 18 points! This Duelmaster is like something else!
IRONIC IRONY stopped POPCORN dead in his tracks! I hear the top team insists all
their warriors get nine hours sleep. They want photogenic fighters for PR photos.
AAARRGH!!! I HATE SPYREPORTING!!! Sorry. I just had to say it.
What does a fighter fight for? I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone
gets killed. Not after four more fights. It was kind of sad, seeing old WEEZER
stumbling around the arena, before ROXY MUSIC finished him off. Oh well! Hey you
guys, don't you think your families would like to hear from you? Write! (Or have
someone write for you.)
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it quits. I had a fun
time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

From: The Office of Accurate Census Reporting, Gladiatorial Commission
To: All Managers
In the interest of preserving our natural resources and preventing managerial writer's
cramp, the census form has been eliminated, effective immediately. Managers may
register their warriors' races and/or favorite sayings by simply writing them on a
separate piece of paper and submitting them to the Commission. Each warrior may have
up to 15 favorite sayings. Each saying must be categorized Jeer, Gloat, Boredom, Ouch,
Victory and may be up to 70 characters long. For any questions, please contact the
Gladiatorial Commission.
WINTER FACE-TO-FACE IN SUNNY ARIZONA!
Our next winter FTF will be held in Tempe, Arizona, January 18-20, 2019. It will be
held at our usual Embassy Suites Hotel in Tempe, Arizona (480-897-7444). Room rates
remain $149.00 per night, 1-2 occupancy, which includes full cooked breakfast,
complimentary manager's reception, free airport shuttle, free parking and free high
speed internet. There's a fitness center, jacuzzi, and pool. The rooms are blocked--
the code is "REA."
The official block cutoff is December 21 so make your reservations ASAP!
The hotel reservation site is: http://tinyurl.com/ybszwwgz
This is prime season for Phoenix and the hotel tends to fill up quickly.
Look for the tournament info sheet and minioverviews some time in December. We hope
you're all looking forward to it and that we will see you there!
TEAM AND CHARACTER MAINTENANCE SERVICE
As a service to all managers, we offer team and character maintenance. This
option allows you to make sure your team or selected warriors will never miss a turn!
Team Maintenance: This will cause all warriors on that team to fight every
turn; if it's an AD arena, any new warriors who arrive on that team will
fight the turn they arrive. In A.D. or in transfer arenas where you have
multiple teams, each team will need to separately be on Team Maintenance.
(The only exception is new warriors; they will not fight until they have had
their initial strategy input.)
Character Maintenance: This will cause only that warrior to fight every
turn. If the character graduates or changes arenas, he/she/it will stay on
Character Maintenance.
In either case, you may submit strategy sheets for your warriors each turn, if
you wish. The Team/Character Maintenance will make sure your warriors fight each
turn, and they will always use their most recently entered strategy.
Remember that challenges, avoids, and challenge/if challenged strategies will not
carry through from turn to turn. These sections are only used on the turn they are
entered. In order to continually challenge or avoid you will need to submit a
strategy sheet each time.
One other thing to remember about maintenance: Maintenance is not something
that you write on your turnsheet (like in demo tourneys). In order to add or remove
maintenance for a team or warrior, you must send a note to Customer Service. If you
just write things like this on your strategy sheet, they may or may not get done.
Likewise, don't write it on your personal ads. Please, please, please put it on a
separate piece of paper with "Customer Service" written on the top. If you don't,
well, you can imagine.
Thanks for your time. Good luck in Duelmasters! -- Green Eyes
