SPY REPORT
Welcome JADE MOUNTAIN. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the
fights have I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... What's with
MARIANNE KIND? She actually beat SAND DANCERS' TIBA TYL DAIN, and walked away with
25 more points from the fight. Laughs were big at JADE MOUNTAIN while they watched
GUARDSMAN TAN clobber THE HORN BLOWER. It lost 11 points and got bruised from
objects thrown from the stands. I'm sure JADE MOUNTAIN is excited about MARIANNE
KIND, the new Duelmaster from THE JUG O'NAUGHTS. (remember?) But when you've seen
as many as I have... Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!
If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. JADE
MOUNTAIN thinks THE JUG O'NAUGHTS and their 144-168-15 is too much! If at first you
don't succeed, give up... In my day, no team with a 141-166-14 would scare me off!
What's the problem, DARK TOADS? How well I know the feeling of being the most
challenged warrior, WOODY! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you.
Warriors of JADE MOUNTAIN unite. You have only your games to lose! TIBA TYL
DAIN, with hers forgettable 16-16-1, was put to death by MARIANNE KIND in a
forgettable match. SAND DANCERS didn't seem to mind very much. Here's some advice:
study your opponent, master many skills, fight dirty.
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here? All
work and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter. Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.
Olaffighterwork and no play. Time for my medication, so I'll leave now. Practice,
practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Tiba tyl Dain -- That works, I am a Toad and not a gentlemen. -- Harold
Lentiria -- When do you not really need a win? -- TigToad
Lentiria -- What do you say we fight off to see which of us gets to be the
Duelmaster?
Harold -- Every time I turn around, there's a toad. Darn. -- Tiba tyl Dain
Pinky of Doom -- Are you kin to the Flying Fickle Finger of Fate? -- Lentiria
I've been scorned. -- Woody
P.S. It isn't at ALL like being scummed. Much worse, in fact.
The Jade Master should stick to carving jade or whatever it is that gives him his
"mastery." -- Essina tyl Vern
Rabbit Ears -- What's with the wig-wag stuff? It confuses me, and I was already not
feeling great about this. I mean, look at my predecessors, and I do mean they pre-
deceased me. -- Volto Leeni
P.S. I don't know why Lorana insists on this anagramming stuff, when it should be
obvious that this is an ill-starred set of letters.
TigToad -- Well, just don't give 'em names that are anagrams of Vinteeloa the late
and lamented. -- Lorana
P.S. Your statement is probably true, and a very sad reflection on what was once a
tough arena.

TOURNEY FREEZE CHANGE -- ADVANCE NOTICE
Beginning at the Winter Face-to-Face in Tempe (January 2004), we will implement
several changes affecting tournaments. The tournament announcement for the upcoming
FTF and future tourneys will reflect these changes.
First, we will eliminate the tourney freeze for all regular DM warrior classes.
Regular DM warriors will not be classed ahead of the tournament, but instead will
fight according to their FE on the date of the tourney. There will still be a freeze
for the ADM classes, occurring on the same timeline as before, approximately 6 weeks
before the tournament.
In addition to the above change, the warrior classes will be slightly altered.
The new tourney classes will be as follows:
DM Tourney Classes ADM Tourney Classes
====================== ======================
0 FE: Rookies Freshmen
1-4 FE: Apprentices ADM
5-10 FE: Initiates Eligibles
11-20 FE: Adepts ---induction---
21-30 FE: Champions Contenders
31+ FE: Challengers Primus
All regular DM tourney classes will remain solely FE based. All ADM classes will
now be based on warrior characteristics (i.e., the ADM split algorithm), including the
Freshmen class.
The Gateway and Primus arenas will be merging before the FTF to form one top
arena. These warriors will be split into two tournament classes, the Contenders and
the Primus classes, again based upon their characteristics. More information on this
will be published in the newsletters for those arenas.
If you have any questions about the above changes, please contact Customer
Service. Good luck in your games.
