SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of DAL
SHANG brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Of course, we're all terribly
impressed to see STARLIGHT win a fight and gain 21 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk,
CRAFTY beat LARRIS TAN and LARRIS TAN lost 8 points. You're breakin' my heart. And
it's out with the old, in with the new, as PRIME takes the Title and last week's bar
tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. The Blazing Unicorn, humph! I've tasted
better ale at mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From DAL SHANG's trash
dumps?
My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start
talking.' I loved that woman. What's the big D? PLACES was the most avoided team?
Bunch of lily livered... grumble... mumble... curse... And it looks like WISE GUYS
avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me.
Hmph.
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave
team is developing these kinds of weapons?
There's got to be a better place in DAL SHANG to get a drink than The Blazing
Unicorn! Any suggestions? Phlllt! Just had to do that before I leave the fine city
of DAL SHANG. I feel much better now. Glad to see the back of this place-- Snide

HALLOWEEN TOURNAMENT UPDATE
It has come to our attention that a warrior, Voodoo Toad 85-14776, was sent to
the Dark Arena and slain in order to be classed as a Dead Challenger in this past
Halloween Tournament. As this warrior is a Zombie, this was against the rules because
immortal warriors may not challenge the Dark Arena. (An exception is granted so a
warrior may challenge the Dark Arena on his very last turn after receiving an
invitation to Advanced Duelmasters, so he can show his prowess with the Dark Arena
monsters, but this may not be used as a method of classing in the dead tournament if
he happens to die in the night fight.)
To correct this injustice, we changed the fight result for all warriors who
lost to Voodoo Toad to a win for that turn. This gave two warriors, Crazy 54 84-11494
of Crazy 88 15 and Sarokith 84-30929 of Dub O Dubs, an ending record of 8-3, which
grants them Tournament Victor status and resurrection.
We realize this is not a perfect solution but hope it will make some amends
for the warriors who lost to this misclassed warrior.
