                                      SPY REPORT

     It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report.  Sit 
back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis.  Hey everybody, 
watch out for ATTILA THE HUN, who flew up 13 points in the rankings after mashing 
EGGCRACKER like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  Ya know, some days it doesn't 
pay to walk out on the sands.  EGGCRACKER was defeated by ATTILA THE HUN and drops 10 
points.  Well, everybody's pal JARHEAD moved his record to 12-0-0 by defeating HOTDOG 
in the Duelmaster's Title Bout and gaining 7 recognition points.  Can you believe 
they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff?   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the JADE MOUNTAIN arena.  And 
hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid SAND DANCERS, please raise you hand.  
Wow.  Does JADE MOUNTAIN really have that many liars?  Okay, so I may not be funny, 
but catch SAND DANCERS' act in the arena.  Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at 
running from SAND DANCERS.   
     Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day 
drinking to their memory.  Better tanked than dead!  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.  See ya next time I'm on this 
circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster

Jarhead -- Okay, I guess that's acceptable.  You're lucky your manager doesn't insist 
on "words from

the top.  That's the pits.  But how do you get those pointy ears into your jar? -- Hai 
Tai

One win over a standby.  Check. -- Hotdog

And a loss to the same standby.  He has no aesthetic appreciation. -- Plum Blossom

And a win again.  Good. -- Eggcracker

William Wallace -- Heck.  Good fight. -- Jo Ming

From:       The Office of Accurate Census Reporting, Gladiatorial Commission
To:         All Managers

In the interest of preserving our natural resources and preventing managerial writer's 
cramp, the census form has been eliminated, effective immediately.  Managers may 
register their warriors' races and/or favorite sayings by simply writing them on a 
separate piece of paper and submitting them to the Commission.  Each warrior may have 
up to 15 favorite sayings.  Each saying must be categorized Jeer, Gloat, Boredom, Ouch, 
Victory and may be up to 70 characters long.  For any questions, please contact the 
Gladiatorial Commission. 

                        TEAM AND CHARACTER MAINTENANCE SERVICE

     As a service to all managers, we offer team and character maintenance.  This 
option allows you to make sure your team or selected warriors will never miss a turn!

     Team Maintenance:  This will cause all warriors on that team to fight every 
     turn; if it's an AD arena, any new warriors who arrive on that team will 
     fight the turn they arrive.  In A.D. or in transfer arenas where you have 
     multiple teams, each team will need to separately be on Team Maintenance.  
     (The only exception is new warriors; they will not fight until they have had 
     their initial strategy input.)  

     Character Maintenance:  This will cause only that warrior to fight every 
     turn.  If the character graduates or changes arenas, he/she/it will stay on 
     Character Maintenance.

     In either case, you may submit strategy sheets for your warriors each turn, if 
you wish.  The Team/Character Maintenance will make sure your warriors fight each 
turn, and they will always use their most recently entered strategy.
     Remember that challenges, avoids, and challenge/if challenged strategies will not 
carry through from turn to turn.  These sections are only used on the turn they are 
entered.  In order to continually challenge or avoid you will need to submit a 
strategy sheet each time. 
     One other thing to remember about maintenance:  Maintenance is not something 
that you write on your turnsheet (like in demo tourneys).  In order to add or remove 
maintenance for a team or warrior, you must send a note to Customer Service.  If you 
just write things like this on your strategy sheet, they may or may not get done.  
Likewise, don't write it on your personal ads.  Please, please, please put it on a 
separate piece of paper with "Customer Service" written on the top.  If you don't, 
well, you can imagine.
     Thanks for your time.  Good luck in Duelmasters! -- Green Eyes
