SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in ERINIKA this turn, and let's start
with a look at some of the teams. It seems the training can make the difference, as
DARQUE WATERS is pushed out of top team by DUDS, who came from 2nd with a 1-1-0 this
turn. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for THE
BEGINNING, whose 0-1-0 this turn dropped them by 5 into 10th. WHO DA MAN? stable has
parlayed this turn's 3-1-0 into a 7 space move up the rankings. This brings them up
to 3rd place. Good work, guys! And let's see, BUGG-SHASH fought M. CHARDINEE and
gained 16 points and contributed to GREAT OLD ONES' 1-1-1. AYI'IG has lost to STINK,
falling 3 points, while helping make GREAT OLD ONES a 1-1-1 turn. Due to his absence
and inability to defend the throne, ENDU ENDU has lost the title of Duelmaster. And
not without some honor, DEATHFROMABOVE now claims the title and throne of Duelmaster
of ERINIKA. Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top team makes their
losing fighters do dishes at The Swinging Aardvark until they win. Maybe?
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. I also notice that the DARQUE WATERS stable was the most
avoided team this turn. Come on ERINIKA, what are you afraid of? And avoiding
DARQUE WATERS more than any other team we find DUDS. ERINIKA, are we going to
accept, or respect this sort of thing? Well, sports fans, take notice that KLEPTO
MAN from WHO DA MAN? was ERINIKA's most challenged warrior this turn. Tsk, tsk, tsk.
THE BIG BANG, does your manager know you're challenging down 21 points to fight
KLEPTO MAN from WHO DA MAN?? Well, will you look at this, THE BIG BANG was bested by
KLEPTO MAN, and THE BEGINNING will have to explain why they made such a challenge in
the first place.
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their enemies.
You know who you are; and it's considered rude.
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. Always good to rest in ERINIKA, but never good to wear out my
welcome. Look for me in future turns. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to
paper-- Alarond the Scribe

SEAM (DM 20) REOPENS AS A NEW NO-TOURNEY ARENA!
Seam (DM 20) will be re-opening soon as a no-tourney DM arena! If you enjoy arena
play without tournament interference, this arena is for you! Only rookie teams may
enter this arena, and all managers must sign the "no-tourney" pledge. Turn 0 is due
on May 4 (overviews only) and Turn 1 is due on May 18.
To avoid confusion, all old inactive teams which were in Seam have travelled to
Mazgourrah (DM 77).
Seam is the newest arena to join the no-tourney group of arenas and will process on
opposite weeks with Shadowspire (DM 81), the original no-tourney arena. Other no-
tourney arenas include Telorinthe (DM 83), a slow arena, and Storm Rock (DM 107), for
ADM warriors.
Join in the fun! Send in your new rollup along with the pledge soon so you can get in
on the ground floor of this new arena!
