                                      SPY REPORT

     It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last 
week's fights.  Hey everybody, watch out for DEATH RITUAL, who flew up 21 points in 
the rankings after mashing VENEMOUS CONCUBINE like a melon.  Keep your eye on this 
gal.  Going for the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was KYR'TERR's 
KHALHUMS DWARF, who was turned away from the Duelmastership by YES, I PURR.  An apple 
a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay.   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the KYR'TERR arena.   
     Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the 
most interesting, though!  Ask not the elves for counsel, for they will say both yes 
and no.  Silly buggers, eh?   
     Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in KYR'TERR have no 
sense of humor.  Or maybe that they were senseless.  Well, there goes another Spy 
Report.  Good luck in next week's fights.  Its been real, and its been fun, but it 
hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster

                             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.
