                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, in ERINIKA a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.  
So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news.  Now keep the taverns open late 
tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for LUDUS MAGNUS MM, whose 1-0-0 this turn 
dropped them by 6 into 18th.  And let's see, SPARTACUS fought MENKALINAN and gained 
23 points and contributed to LUDUS MAGNUS XVIII's 1-0-0.  CERVANTES has lost to 
NAEVIA, falling 15 points, while helping make ARA a 0-1-0 turn.  And all eyes were on 
MARTHA STEWART this turn as she ascended to the throne of Duelmaster.  ERINIKA has a 
new victor!  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?   
     The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more 
could a warrior ask of life?  Well, besides that.   
     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.   
     I like this place, ERINIKA, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.  
Who could ask for more?  It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep 
your swords sharp and your hammers heavy.  Until you see my quill in ERINIKA again, 
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

Congrats to the grads. -- Green Eyes

                             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.
