SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in JADE
MOUNTAIN. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid! Hey
everybody, watch out for PRONGS, who flew up 16 points in the rankings after mashing
VOLTO LEENI like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't
pay to walk out on the sands. SAMOSET was beat by TABATAN and drops 8 points. Going
for the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was JADE MOUNTAIN's JADE
MASTER, who was turned away from the Duelmastership by MOCKINGBIRD. An apple a day
keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay.
Here is other news that is of note. Well just about everybody wants a piece of
TABATAN, who was this week's most challenged warrior. In a touching display by a
'touched' warrior, SAMARIUM went after ANNE, who was higher by 21 points. Well, when
the dust settled, SAMARIUM defeated ANNE.
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! Knowing when to use the right tactics at the proper time
is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian,
but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. Its been real, and its been fun,
but it hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Mockingbird -- So, you Toad, will you write a column and help push the warrior
listings off the front page? Having a single-sheet newsletter is just a tad
embarrassing, you know. -- Tabatan
P.S. Even Niatoli and Rocanis did better than that.
Samoset -- Bah. -- Volto Leeni
P.S. Go delve or something.
P.P.S. That's what dwarves do, isn't it?
Ah, the sadness of it all, to fight a standby, here in Jade Mountain. It's a bad
sign for an arena when there aren't matches with real warriors to go around. -- Arnal
Redaxe
What Arnal says is, of course, true, but at least we defeated our standbys. That
helps. -- Treenva Taral
TigToad -- No, sorry. In the extremely unlikely event that I should run a warrior in
the Dead Tourney, Woody would not be it. -- Li Dan
P.S. Woody was 8(1)-17-19-11-17-9-7(3) WS. Not an easy warrior to kill, but also
one who would have been difficult to win with even if I'd made an effort.
P.P.S. By the time Woody ever got around to getting out of the Deadland and
graduating, there will be no Lirin Kiv anyway.
4 May 2005
Several questions have been asked about Slaughter's Challenge that I'd like to
address and clarify.
1) All Prizes must be used on the contest team, this includes the resurrection.
Remember any fast arena team should be able to transfer to a slow arena
(except for arena 82, I believe).
2) Warriors will be allowed to fight and run in the dead tourney, should there
be one, and return if an opening can be made without breaking the rules
(i.e. only one DA fight allowed per team).
3) If you win your single DA match you do not get another. It's one use of the
Dark Arena win or lose so if you want him/her/it dead be sure and throw the
match!
4) The resurrection potion's longevity has been extended by the commission to 6
months but the other potions (favorites, and +1 bonus) must still be used
within 2 turns and on a 5 FE or higher warrior. The resurrection can go on
any warrior regardless of FE.
Street Legal
P.S. My thanks to those already entered (Hammer, The Consortium, Tripwire, Stik, and
Shaman) and hope many more find a reason to come to arena 54. Again, my email is
triumph1971@hotmail.com or you can diplo me in arena 14 at THE DEATH SQUAD (63) if
you need more info!
21 May 2005
Amendment for "Fratsfas Quest for the Best!"
Managers that have teams already established in Fratsfa need not have (3) three
warriors in the initiates. FE will NOT be a factor. Stables may be entered at any
time. Just announce your stable in the p-ads.
***************************************************************************
This in my invitation to all managers who wish to prove their mettle against
managers from all over Alastari. We have limited TP's in this contest to one a team
at a time. We DO NOT want this contest to become a scum fest as many others have,
hence the Andorian arena. Good luck to all who come to prove their skills. "May
your enemies' blood flow freely" -- Dark Knight Toker, Desolate Empire Alliance
