                                      SPY REPORT

     Well, what are you looking at, JADE MOUNTAIN?  Ain't you never seen Snide 
Clemens before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Now keep the taverns open late 
tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for JADED WARRIORS, whose 0-0-0 this turn 
dropped them by 4 into 6th.  Ha!  Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see 
YTERBIUM win a fight and gain 13 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, GLEAMING BLADE beat JO 
MING and JO MING lost 5 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  Looks like JADE MOUNTAIN 
has some guts at least, WHITE TIGER the Duelmaster was this turn's most-challenged 
warrior.  ENCANTADORA challenged JADE MOUNTAIN's Duelmaster for a shot at the throne. 
And if variety is the spice of life, JADE MOUNTAIN may be getting bland, as WHITE 
TIGER stays top dog in the city.  Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how 
else do you think some of these guys win their fights?  Skill?  Ha!   
     Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for JADE 
MOUNTAIN's morgue.  More variety.  Whoa!  I'll even buy FULL EXTENSION a drink 
tonight!  Anyone who can come back from the Dark Arena, I want to be on his good 
side!  Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is developing these 
kinds of weapons?   
     What does the JADE MOUNTAIN arena have in common with the inns?  It's just as 
comfortable to sleep in either place.  Ha ha ha ha!  Phlllt!  Just had to do that 
before I leave the fine city of JADE MOUNTAIN.  I feel much better now.  I see the 
crowds are getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens

                             HALLOWEEN TOURNAMENT UPDATE

	It has come to our attention that a warrior, Voodoo Toad 85-14776, was sent to 
the Dark Arena and slain in order to be classed as a Dead Challenger in this past 
Halloween Tournament.  As this warrior is a Zombie, this was against the rules because 
immortal warriors may not challenge the Dark Arena.  (An exception is granted so a 
warrior may challenge the Dark Arena on his very last turn after receiving an 
invitation to Advanced Duelmasters, so he can show his prowess with the Dark Arena 
monsters, but this may not be used as a method of classing in the dead tournament if 
he happens to die in the night fight.) 
	To correct this injustice, we changed the fight result for all warriors who 
lost to Voodoo Toad to a win for that turn.  This gave two warriors, Crazy 54 84-11494 
of Crazy 88 15 and Sarokith 84-30929 of Dub O Dubs, an ending record of 8-3, which 
grants them Tournament Victor status and resurrection. 
	We realize this is not a perfect solution but hope it will make some amends 
for the warriors who lost to this misclassed warrior.
