SPY REPORT
Greetings, Warriors of ERINIKA. Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to
give you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport. He who laughs last
didn't get the joke. Speaking of laughing at jokes, observe REIGN OF TERROR. Last
week they got 0-0-0 to drop by 5! Practice pays for DUNCE, who pummelled EMBEZZLING
SCRIBE, to pocket 21 points. ABASHI certainly had a baffled expression on hers face,
after losing to MANNAZ THORSSON and losing 2 points in the process! Now I can't
insult MANNAZ THORSSON, as he has gloriously dueled to the top. Oh great new
Duelmaster!!! (Stop me if I lay it on too thick) Word has it one team in ERINIKA is
using psychics to predict wins. They lead a charmed life!
A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the
little birds cry out?' Any ideas? Like the noble eagle soaring amongst the
mountaintops, so stand the warriors of ODIN'S CHOSEN, alone and unchallenged. Like a
pup with its tail between its legs, WORLDWIDE GORE scurried away from ODIN'S CHOSEN.
Oh, the shame! Is it charming personality? Conversational abilities? Good oral
hygiene? Whatever it is, ABASHI is the most challenged warrior.
Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after
life! Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have
fallen into an unconscious stupor.
Do not think spyreporting in ERINIKA is the highlight of my life. As if
buffeted by forces of nature beyond my control, I must take my leave of this place.
ERINIKA, I leave you now. The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Welcome
Wench. 'Til next time-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Chester -- As usual you let your mouth overload your fat behind! You'd think as long
as you've been playing this game you would have learned something by now, but
apparently not! Maybe it's time to re-read your Enchiridion and Mousetrap--either
that or just retire already. Your "reign of terror" was short lived! -- Heathen the
Hated
P.S. I see your partner in crime is back as well, ol' AS MO DIUS--at least he knows
how to keep his trap shut. FYI, I'm only here until Manaz graduates, then I'm only
running in Stormcrowe.
Lavilemar -- My littler brother Gebo may not have had the experience to finish the
job right, but I sure do! It's a good thing you mentioned the Arenamaster when you
did--we all know what that "deadly bloodlust" leads to!! -- Gungir
Aerilaya -- Two hits??? I never even broke a sweat! All that tourney experience and
nothing to show for it. Come see me again when you grow up. -- Forseti

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.

11 November 2004
All you alliance-type people, I'm trying (again!) to get my alliance listing correct
and up to date. Either send me a diplo (address it to The Saint) or send your
updates to me directly at Sue at solberg-mathews.com. As you may guess, replace the
at with @ and you're good to go (I do hate spammy mail and this will end up on the
web).
I have information on the following alliances: ADIO, Allied Axis, Armada,
Brotherhood of Justice, Brotherhood of the Blade, Cadre, CDC, Chaos, Inc., Circle of
Order, Company of Brothers, Consortium, Council of Lords, Couple Good Guys, Crimson
Vengeance, DOA, DOOMcorps, Enigmafia, Eurosquad, Fascist Federation, FONZ,
Frothingslosh Syndicate, GAPPDA, Homeland Alliance, IT Alliance, Jingoists, kLk,
Knights of the Covenant, LBA, League Arcane, Legion6, Living Essences, Lords and
Ladies of Darkness, Manic Union, Midnight Foundation, Minions of Diana, Monarchs of
Montezuma, NCA, NIMROD, R.A.G.E., Seventh Sons, The Firm, The French Connection,
Vendett@ United, and the Vendetta Cartel.
If you are a member of one of these alliances, let me know. If you are a member of
some other alliance that isn't listed, let me know. If you were at any point in your
past a part of one of these alliance but are now independent, also let me know.
Going inactive doesn't mean you get removed from this list; people are assumed to
still be in the same alliance when they return. Even having everyone in an alliance
go inactive doesn't change anything. If an alliance is officially disbanding, that's
another thing you have to let me know....
The Saint, keeper of lists
P.S. If you already responded to my online plea (and I replied), you can ignore
this.
