                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome KYR'TERR.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the fights 
have I fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  Bein' on top is great 
while it lasts, HOME LIFE.  But how many friends do you have now?  You know what they 
say about the herd of lions who studied a judge...  C IS FOR CAT moved up 20 places, 
to 2nd.  Who can explain it?  Not you, not me, not FEAR FACTORY 12's opponents, after 
watching them shoot up the ranks from 29th to 10th.  What's with CATAPULT?  She 
actually beat ROGUE'S TOOLS' SHADOW STEP, and walked away with 14 more points from 
the fight.  Laughs were big at KYR'TERR while they watched KHALHUMS DWARF clobber 
ANTHONY HENDAY.  It lost 19 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the 
stands.  Try as she might, SHE SCREAMS wasn't good enough at persuading PERISTYLIUM 
to step down from the Duelmaster's throne...  I suppose you want to hear some rumors 
and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters?  Tough!   
     Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges...  How well I know the 
feeling of being in the most avoided team!  Don't fall out of practive, SHERWOOD 
FOREST!  In my day, no team with a 255-215-33 would scare me off!  What's the 
problem, E IS FOR ELEPHANT?   
     Warriors of KYR'TERR unite.  You have only your games to lose!  DEEP SIX looked 
pretty sick and surprised when he learned THE CODA is sending him to the Dark Arena!  
Whadd'he expect with a 9-3-0?  Some people in KYR'TERR think THE CODA was too harsh 
when they sent DEEP SIX (9-3-0) to the Dark Arena.  Them's the breaks, I say.  Hmm... 
More surprises must remain in store for me, if CATACLYSM can return from the Dark 
Arena.  And this week the Duelmaster--whoops!  HAZAARDS OF CLONING has one week left 
to avenge I OF THE NEE DOLL's death by excessive hits on the part of RISING STORM of 
SHERWOOD FOREST.  How long have I been here?  I got people to see, places to go...   
     Well, I'm pretty much through.  You guys need to get back practicing.  KYR'TERR 
is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places.  I don't want to 
overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

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. 

                        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
