Sit back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis. For every winner there is a loser. Speaking of losers, lets take a look at X-POSSE, who went down to 2nd from 7th. Life is tough. Don't these new hotshots make you sick (or, if they fought you, hurt)? ARCTIC STORM, on their very first turn, went 4-1-1. Our battling duelmaster RYSHER has managed to hold the title, fending off M. CHARDINEE's none too subtle advances. Better luck next time, DRAGONHEAD. Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd! But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle! Did you hear that ORIGINALE BASTARDS was most avoided team this week? Well, knowing the personal hygiene of ORIGINALE BASTARDS' warriors, I'm not surprised! And you guys like to boo me? Well, unsling your rasberries, cause VERMIN beats feet every time ORIGINALE BASTARDS smiles at them. Try farming, eh? And who is this *KIM COOKIES you ask, with 104 points and a 19-15-4 record. Ooh, the tales I could tell! In a touching display by a 'touched' warrior, MINDQUAKE went after 2 PHAT 2, who was higher by 18 points. Well, when the dust settled, MINDQUAKE defeated 2 PHAT 2. Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). Well, just when you thought it was safe to put a new warrior in the arena. No no! BRASIDAS, a mere boy, was slain by SOURDOUGH this turn. Ask not the elves for counsel, for they will say both yes and no. Silly buggers, eh? Well, there's the manager of the DRAGONHEAD giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that 'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). Well, there goes another Spy Report. Good luck in next week's fights. And remember, you can pick your friends and you can pick your--(loud boos), oh, you've heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME RYSHER 1486 19 14 1 123 ORIGINALE BASTARDS (144) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME *KIM COOKIES 1488 19 15 4 104 ORIGINALE BASTARDS (144) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME 2 PHAT TOO 5063 16 18 1 83 VERMIN (165) PHELON 1492 16 22 1 79 ORIGINALE BASTARDS (144) MINDQUAKE 5861 8 3 0 76 TWISTED SISTERS (644) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME CYOLIS 5311 11 5 1 63 ANCIENT KNIGHTS (507) EAGLE KEYS 4585 9 21 0 60 ANCIENT KNIGHTS (507) 2 PHAT 2 5470 5 6 0 57 VERMIN (165) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SOURDOUGH 5913 4 8 1 52 BREAD (653) -FURRY BOX 4314 3 3 0 48 BRIAN LOCK (398) -VENUS DEE MILO 5720 12 5 0 45 X-POSSE (579) -FRANKLY SCARLET 5823 3 1 1 42 FILM FUN (641) IRON BITCH 5859 6 6 0 37 TWISTED SISTERS (644) -BLOOD SPILLER 3007 2 0 0 36 CRYPTORBEAST II (336) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -DRAVEN 5726 4 8 2 33 MURDEROUS CROWS (171) -RABID RABBIT 2317 7 7 0 32 VERMIN (165) -SENTINEL-3 5782 6 6 0 29 X-POSSE (579) -THAT'S NO MOON 5824 3 2 1 29 FILM FUN (641) -THE TAXMAN 5779 3 2 0 27 BARBARIAN HORDE (637) -THE TRUNK MONKEY 5775 4 1 0 26 BARBARIAN HORDE (637) -MERLIN 5776 3 2 1 26 BARBARIAN HORDE (637) ATTALOS 5783 3 1 0 26 ANCIENT KNIGHTS (507) -STELLA!!! 5825 5 0 0 25 FILM FUN (641) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -MUMMIFIED HATE 3009 2 0 0 25 CRYPTORBEAST II (336) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -ANDAR 5774 3 2 1 22 BARBARIAN HORDE (637) -SENTINEL-4 5917 2 3 0 21 X-POSSE (579) FRENZY 5857 3 3 1 20 TWISTED SISTERS (644) -LADY SARINA 5773 2 3 1 20 BARBARIAN HORDE (637) TWISTED JENNY 5940 2 0 0 19 TWISTED SISTERS (644) -DEMON TWISTER 3006 2 0 0 18 CRYPTORBEAST II (336) GIGGLY JANE 5939 2 1 0 17 TWISTED SISTERS (644) TUKE 5765 1 0 1 16 ARCTIC STORM (635) PRISCUS 5762 1 0 0 15 ARCTIC STORM (635) -CAMBRIDGE 5926 2 0 0 14 SACRED REALM (506) -LORD STANLEY 5916 1 1 0 14 SACRED REALM (506) ARDASHIR 5539 2 7 0 13 ANCIENT KNIGHTS (507) -WHOLE WHEAT 5914 2 0 0 13 BREAD (653) -SENTINEL-5 5929 1 1 0 13 X-POSSE (579) VEERAS 5763 1 0 0 13 ARCTIC STORM (635) VESPASIAN 5764 1 0 0 13 ARCTIC STORM (635) -GRUMPY OLD BAT 4578 2 5 0 11 SACRED REALM (506) -HEART ATTACK MAN 3010 1 1 0 8 CRYPTORBEAST II (336) -ART 5438 2 1 0 7 SACRED REALM (506) -WHITE 5818 1 0 0 6 Z-DRAGON (640) -BLACK 5821 0 1 0 5 Z-DRAGON (640) RUT 5761 0 1 0 1 ARCTIC STORM (635) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

Remember any fast arena team should be able to transfer to a slow arena (except for arena 82, I believe). 2) Warriors will be allowed to fight and run in the dead tourney, should there be one, and return if an opening can be made without breaking the rules (i.e. only one DA fight allowed per team). 3) If you win your single DA match you do not get another. It's one use of the Dark Arena win or lose so if you want him/her/it dead be sure and throw the match! 4) The resurrection potion's longevity has been extended by the commission to 6 months but the other potions (favorites, and +1 bonus) must still be used within 2 turns and on a 5 FE or higher warrior. The resurrection can go on any warrior regardless of FE. Street Legal P.S. My thanks to those already entered (Hammer, The Consortium, Tripwire, Stik, and Shaman) and hope many more find a reason to come to arena 54. Again, my email is triumph1971@hotmail.com or you can diplo me in arena 14 at THE DEATH SQUAD (63) if you need more info! 21 May 2005 Amendment for "Fratsfas Quest for the Best!" Managers that have teams already established in Fratsfa need not have (3) three warriors in the initiates. FE will NOT be a factor. Stables may be entered at any time. Just announce your stable in the p-ads. *************************************************************************** This in my invitation to all managers who wish to prove their mettle against managers from all over Alastari. We have limited TP's in this contest to one a team at a time. We DO NOT want this contest to become a scum fest as many others have, hence the Andorian arena. Good luck to all who come to prove their skills.
