SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly DAYLA KIV games. There were bitter words at SAND
DANCERS' guildhouse after a 1-4-0 showing this week which dropped the stable into
7th. Dark Arena anyone? DUELMASTERS caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial
commission as it skillfully bested KOGAN DJIAN and was awarded 14 points in
recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, VEAL SORENTO put down
BLOODGAMES, causing it to lose 8 points of recognition in the process. Not for
nothing has TAX MAIL-IN in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this
week it's proven its combat skill yet again. Informants "close" to the city champion
have told me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor. Watch out!
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. I saw one fighter that warriors
avoided when this week's challenge seeking began. MEDAL OF HONOR is feared. This
much I can say. Apparently the stalwarts of I HATE TOURNEYS are catching the bulk of
jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Loose talk
at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters
are after GREELO DUFFUS. Watch your back!
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? Some say a warrior is judged by the way he bears arms. One thing
is sure, better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in DAYLA KIV. Nice atmosphere you have here! Ahh, but I can hear the spires
of a far off city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember - the pen
is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

So, Jorja, you do not believe the claim that "I Hate Tourneys"? Allow me to offer
that my wife was the one who named the team. -- An Anonymous Tournament Participant
Huh, seven dead this time, and I note that the city did NOT perish last time when we
had the stipulated six. Does this mean we need a new paradigm for prediction? --

NEW TEAMS IN THE TEMPORARY TOURNAMENT ARENA (DM 85)
Please note that all new teams created at the Face-to-Face were temporarily placed in
a temporary Tournament Arena, DM 85. If you requested that your team be placed in a
specific arena, it has already transferred to that arena. Effective immediately, any
teams placed in DM 85 and not transferred out to another arena, will be automatically
deleted a month after the tournament. If you have questions about any of your teams,
please contact Customer Service. -- RSI
WINTER FACE-TO-FACE IN SUNNY ARIZONA!
Our next winter FTF will be held in Tempe, Arizona, January 16-18, 2015. It will be
held at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Tempe, Arizona (480-897-7444), the same hotel as
last year by popular request. Room rates are $149.00 per night, 1-2 occupancy, which
includes full cooked breakfast, complimentary manager's reception, free airport
shuttle, free parking and free high speed internet. There's a fitness center,
jacuzzi, and pool. The rooms are blocked--code RSI.
Please make your reservations now if you plan to go. This is prime season for
Phoenix, and this year will be crazy: the Superbowl, Phoenix Open, auto auction, PF
Chang's Marathon, and more are all during that time. The hotel will be filling up
quickly and I won't be able to add rooms to the block after they are full. So please
book your room now -- if you can't make it you can cancel your reservation, but we
hope you do!
Look for the tournament info sheet and minioverviews some time in December. We hope
you're all looking forward to it and that we will see you there!
