SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt DRAGONHEAD will ever be the same. It seems the training can make the
difference, as X-POSSE is pushed out of top team by KNIGHTS TEMPLAR, who came from
3rd with a 4-1-0 this turn. CRIME WAVE stable has parlayed this turn's 0-0-0 into a
5 space move up the rankings. This brings them up to 13th place. Good work, guys!
The KNIGHTS TEMPLAR guild has had a 4-1-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the
future. You never know where this kind of thing can lead. And let's see, ANDERON
fought ABBERAN and gained 21 points and contributed to FEARSOME LEGENDS' 4-0-0.
VENTALEN has lost to 2 PHAT 2, falling 11 points, while helping make FREELANCERS a
1-3-0 turn. The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and ORPHAN remains
DRAGONHEAD's top warrior for another turn. By the way, was that our Duelmaster that
I saw last night, cramped under the table at The Dripping Blade?
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one. I also notice that the X-POSSE stable
was the most avoided team this turn. Come on DRAGONHEAD, what are you afraid of?
And guess who avoided X-POSSE stable the most? Believe it or not, it was MURDEROUS
CROWS. Anyone surprised? Well, sports fans, take notice that RENE D'ANJOU from
KNIGHTS TEMPLAR was DRAGONHEAD's most challenged warrior this turn. In a brave
attempt, JAQUE DE MOLAY from KNIGHTS TEMPLAR challenged up 21 points to fight
CANNONBALL from the X-POSSE stable. JAQUE DE MOLAY perhaps got his just desserts,
seeing as he was bested by CANNONBALL and ended up with 58 recognition points. ANDAR
of BARBARIAN HORDE had better have a good reason for challenging down 8 points in a
challenge which he lost. I thought ANDAR showed great skill and promise when he lost
to SENTINEL-3. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or
hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. Always good to rest in DRAGONHEAD, but never good to wear out my welcome.
Look for me in future turns. Until you see my quill in DRAGONHEAD again, farewell--
Alarond the Scribe

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.
