SPY REPORT
So why do I have this bag over my head? Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and
I'm going to give you a spy report!. Hey everybody, watch out for WILLOW, who flew
up 27 points in the rankings after mashing STONECUTTER like a melon. Keep your eye
on this beast. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.
STONECUTTER lost to WILLOW and drops 16 points. In front of all the crowds, EDDIE
GORDO took the Duelmaster's crown for his own. I give the bum two weeks. An apple a
day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay.
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the JADE MOUNTAIN arena. And
who is this THE OVEN BIRD you ask, with 22 points and a 2-0-0 record. Ooh, the tales
I could tell! BUFFY of ZOMBIE SQUAD 6 had better have a good reason for challenging
down 13 points in a challenge which it lost. I thought BUFFY showed great skill and
promise when it lost to THE OVEN BIRD. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! Remember: alliances are great, but try and take your ally
in the arena with you and see what happens.
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in JADE MOUNTAIN have
no sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. Well, there goes another Spy
Report. Good luck in next week's fights. Hasta la bye-bye. (Loud choruses of 'Beat
it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown Spymaster

When does it start? First turn due after 11/1/2020.

How do I join? Announce your manager name and team name in the Arvat newsletter prior
to 11/1/2020 and state that you are entering the contest. Prior to the contest
actually starting you need to have 2 rollup certs sent to the Dark One care of RSI.

the 13th turn is the winner. The team which has the 2nd most points is declared the

contender. Everyone else is a loser and should be ridiculed.
How do I score points?
1. Every challenge you win vs. another team in the contest = 10 points, as long as
that challenge is to a warrior equal to or above yours in the rankings. Except
for the Duelmaster who can challenge anyone he wants.
2. You also earn bonus points for every challenge won. For every point of
recognition your target is ranked above you, you earn one bonus point. This is
for challenges only.
3. If you are challenged by a warrior below you and defeat him, you will gain 5
points.
4. Also every random matchup that you win will earn you 5 points ? up or down.
5. You CAN downchallenge, however you get no points for doing so, and if you are
beaten, your opponent will earn 10 points and the right to ridicule you in the
newsletter.
6. Bloodfeud challenges count just like regular challenges during the contest.
7. In addition there are the following bonus points that are awarded each turn:
A. Duelmaster earns 10 points

10 points
J. Note that Top Chartered and Unchartered team awards do NOT earn points
What are the rules regarding other teams in the arena? If you challenge any warriors
not participating in the contest you LOSE 20 points, unless the challenged warrior is
the Duelmaster. It is always acceptable to challenge the Duelmaster. HOWEVER ? if
you are challenged by a team not in the contest, you may challenge back the following
turn. If you win that challenge you will get 10 points.
If any manager has a 2nd (or 3rd) team in the arena they may NOT challenge any warrior
of any team participating in the contest or they are DISQUALIFIED.
