SPY REPORT
Much has changed in LIN TIRIAN since last I was here. Never fear, Olaf Modeen
adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. It seems so recently
people were saying SAND DANCERS was washed up, finished. But 3-1-0 moved them up 1.
I guess they're washed no more... LAUGHABLE FORCES' walking tall now that they went
5-0-0 their first time out. But we know what awaits them soon... What's with LOUIE
ANDERSON? He actually beat LIN TIRIAN's CONVICTED THIEF, and walked away with 13
more points from the fight. Major screwup at DOMINATION. OLAF THORFIN lost 11
points to CLUMSY DAN. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe OLAF THORFIN will provide
more easy wins... LIN TIRIAN has a Duelmaster who doesn't sit back and get lazy. He
challenged ROCK-ETTS II's ROCKY (18-5-0), which should prove (ahem!) interesting.
I'm sure LIN TIRIAN is excited about ROCKY, the new Duelmaster from ROCK-ETTS II.
(remember?) But when you've seen as many as I have... Wouldn't it be nice to have
live subjects to practice on? I hear some team is looking into the uses of convicted
prisoners.
Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... How well I know the
feeling of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of practive, TREE PEOPLE!
The bums at WILD KINGDOM couldn't face the challenges from TREE PEOPLE! No excuse
for that! How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior, ROCKY!
Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you.
Warriors of LIN TIRIAN unite. You have only your games to lose! Many a warrior
has met his fate in a hungover stupor. You young rapscallions, take note!
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
All work and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter. Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.
Olaffighterwork and no play. Time for my medication, so I'll leave now. Practice,
practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
All -- I'm just getting back into arena play after many years of tourney focus,
please be patient if I accidentally step on a few toes. -- Rascally Rabbit
All -- "THE WILLBURYS" teams are all mine. I had to move them somewhere after the
arena closings, and since I had a really nice team here already, it seemed like the
best option. -- Rascally Rabbit, Manager or "THE WILLBURYS 37, 77, and 78"
All -- Good luck on the sands, I imagine things will get interesting at least for
awhile. -- Rascally Rabbit
Carnivorous Sheep -- A-HA! I always KNEW sheep were hiding something behind that
meek manner! -- Irlon
The Loin King -- Ack! You got me on the loin! The very tender loin, too, I might
add. -- Clumsy Dan
P.S. Well, it probably would have been my loin if I hadn't stumbled.
Embezzling Scribe? Pah. Small tomatoes, that boy. I could embezzle rings around
him, if I put my mind to it. -- One-Eye Teo
Olaf Thorfin -- You'd beat up on a poor little woman like me? -- Blonde Billie
Chip Wood -- You mean I don't have to hold onto the sharp end? Gee, that WILL make
it easier. Hmm, why didn't *I* think of that? -- Clumsy Dan
P.S. 'Cause I'm not STUPID, you know, just clumsy.

ZalCon2 Updates (1/9/04)
The contest will be starting on the turn due February 23rd, 2004 and run for 20
turns.
Only one team will be allowed for each manager in the contest, regardless of
whether additional teams are announced as contest entries. No exceptions for any
reason.
The Style Master points should read that there is +1 point for beating a member
of your own style even if the warrior is not registered for the contest.
Rolling points for consecutive turns as Style Master means that your warrior
gets the extra point every turn after the first 3 that he continues to hold the
title.
The points for Quality Wins should be clarified to read the winning warrior is
ranked below by the number of recognition points needed for each bonus point at the
start of the fight. For example, Warrior A (3-2-0, 17) beats Warrior B (4-1-0, 35)
and receives 2 bonus points under Quality Win for the 18 point difference in the
ranking.
I believe that is all the clarifications for the moment, please feel free to
email, diplo, call or write me with any other questions or concerns about the
contest.

CHAOTIC WINDS
Once, long ago, the four Winds of Time descended upon Alastari like a TEMPEST of
epic proportions, they slew everything within their all-encompassing reach. They
left nothing. In their wake lay smoldering ruins.
In their haste they sped towards the center of this great land like a colossal
giant would step across an ocean. The four storms picked up momentum on their way
towards each other. A collision was eminent.
The first storm wind, the oldest and wisest of the four was named APEXALUS. The
second, FLAGGSTAFF, was the quickest and loudest entity ever created. The third Wind
of Time was MATRIATIN, neither old or young, quick or slow, but fierce and feisty all
the same. The forth wind, ASSAMITHIUS, the youngest yet most creative in its means
of destruction.
When finally they merged at the center of ALASTARI, an incredible destructive
explosion occurred. And when the smoke and debris cleared they were one. CHAOS was
born.
And Chaos spread across the diminished lands reeking havoc and doom with its
passing, and destroying allover again that which already lay in ruin.

All -- I send out this invitation to all teams and managers. A new Alliance has been
formed. The Living Essences Alliance is being formed to join forces in an effort to
eliminate common foes and to help the joined warriors grow and learn to the best of
their abilities by offering suggestions and advice. It doesn't matter what arena
you're in, or if you're in another alliance already, as of today. This Alliance is
open to one and all! If you are interested in joining, please DIPLO me, or send a
personal ad to DM 93's newsletter. If you wish to join beyond March 2004, send a PA
to DM 82. Come join the fun! -- Dagan LifeGiver, mgr. Shadow Warriors (DM 93)
28 January 2004
This notice is to formally introduce our young alliance, CHAOS INC. We consist of
APEX, FLAGG, MATRIX, ASSAMITE, and now RUDE BUDDHA. If we aren't already there, we
WILL be coming to an arena near you soon! Hope to see you all at the ZALCON II.
