                                      SPY REPORT

     The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon CHAVEZ RAVINE, 
for I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned!  SAND DANCERS had cause to celebrate, after 
JAEGO KLEE got 23 points by beating DANGEROUS BON LOKAR.  RONSEVAN certainly had a 
baffled expression on his face, after losing to TABLE DANCER and losing 9 points in 
the process!  In CHAVEZ RAVINE, nothing is permanent (except Death), and we find 
ourselves a new Duelmaster, TSIRELL.  So who was the warrior seen charging into 
immovable walls and challenging dead trees?  Someone's got a basic problem...   
     So much to report, so little time!  To quell some nasty rumors, the guys in 
CORPS are not carrying any incurable diseases.  No need to avoid 'em.  Like a pup 
with its tail between its legs, BROTHERHOOD scurried away from CORPS.  Oh, the shame! 
     Ah, the duel!  The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd!  Ask not for 
whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.   
     All good things must come to an end.  As the seasons change, and the creatures 
of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave this place.  Do not 
despair!  I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir

Retribution -- For what?  Dammit, what did *I* do?  I wasn't anywhere NEAR there, I 
didn't even KNOW about it till days later! -- Tsirell the wrongly accused

Traveling Tinker, eh?  Well, nothing like an easy win as I leave.  Not that I'm going 
to the Isle.  As if!  I've got my eye on a little place down the river a few miles, 
where I can fish and drink and no distractions, nobody coming in and pounding on me 
for not practicing.  The easy life.  I figure I've earned it. -- Donstan

Table Dancer -- You're more fun to watch on a table.  It's the, ah, view from below, 
as you might say, that really makes my socks roll up and down.  So to speak. -- 
Ronsevan

Shameless Beggar?  That's like talking about, oh, wet rivers, flaming fires, or 
(sigh) dumb gladiators.  Tautological, that's the word I want.  If he had shame, he'd 
find a job instead of begging, right? -- Jaego Klee

Pole Cat -- Climb down off your pole, big boy, and I'll show you what's what. -- 
Kinlo ten Zorn

Sir Chester -- Hoping to see you here as time goes on.  A little new blood improves 
every arena. -- Li Dan, Sand Dancers

                         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.
