SPY REPORT
The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon JADE MOUNTAIN,
for I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned! Practice pays for DONAL PINES, who pummelled
KO-HA OAKCHOPPER, to pocket 24 points. A certain someone should cut down on the
drinking and practice more, after losing 8 points to SAMURAI. (Discrete enough,
VERN?) DOWD successfully staved off a grab for the roses by SHORT ROCK of SAND
DANCERS. Does JADE MOUNTAIN have no one talented enough to dethrone him? So who's
the team that's been walking into taverns last week and ordering milk? Sounds like a
PR stunt to me.
And how sociable are JADE MOUNTAIN's warriors? Come, let us see. Like a horde
of jackals fleeing from the lion, so did the "warriors" in JADE MOUNTAIN avoid
PARANOID ASYLUM. Like a pup with its tail between its legs, MANAGER MUSINGS scurried
away from PARANOID ASYLUM. Oh, the shame! Is it charming personality?
Conversational abilities? Good oral hygiene? Whatever it is, ULRA T'SSAR is the
most challenged warrior.
Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.
Charity is unknown in JADE MOUNTAIN, and rightly so. WEAPONS I WON'T USE exacted
their revenge against SAND DANCERS. Questions are being raised about the disposing
of severed body parts in the arena. A certain tavern in JADE MOUNTAIN would I avoid!
All good things must come to an end. More important duties call me. Like a
mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid JADE MOUNTAIN farewell--
Novgorodny Vir

Vern -- (confused look) He's welcome. -- Sernillan
Dowd -- But what if I would RATHER see lots of competition for that spot? -- Short
Rock
P.S. Congratulations.

I am back in the arena and thinking back to those days in 1984 where I was a
novice and clueless manager.
Now, 22 years later it looks like I am an ancient and once again clueless
manager.
I am looking to recover some old warriors. Since none of them are Aimed Blows,
they are no threat to win anything. I just want to see how they turned out.
The Couatl 2-17
Madam Butterfly 20-701
Gypsy Moth 20-703
King Crab 21-1
Priestess Python 26-1388
Please contact me at DekeYoung@Comcast.net if you know about any of these ancient
warriors, or just want to bs about the old, old, old times.

It is obvious that the Dark Knights wish to be shown the light. Allow me to step
forward and blind them with truth. YOU ARE WORTHLESS!!! The Dark Knights are so
afraid of the light that they hide behind their black armor and empty threats. It is
too bad they are unwilling to actually FIGHT us! I guess our natural light is too
bright for you all to face! Fear us, for we are here! -- Gemini Goldphoenix,
Overlord of the Avengers of Light!

without having gone above the Adepts bracket at any time...including
transferred teams. (I'll be watching for this occurrence!)

same conditions as noted for TVs.

for.
i. Only 7 teams are permitted per alliance for the Turf War 5.
PRIZES:
Turf Wars are a "Winner Takes All" type contest. All prizes and 100% of the RU
Certs will be given to the Captain of the winning alliance and it is his/her
responsibility to give these to the alliance membership.
I have requested from RSI the following:
a. renaming of the orth Fork (DM 47) arena;
b. renaming of Dark Arena Monsters;
c. known favourite rhythms for one warrior on each team of the winning
alliance. This warrior would be in the Initiates or above brackets on the
last turn of the Turf War (they must have at least one arena fight to
receive this award).
Baphomet, Host of TW5
Special Note: A downchallenge is considered from a higher bracket to a lower
bracket. Same bracket, more recognition points? Not a downchallenge!
