SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in LIN TIRIAN this turn, and let's
start with a look at some of the teams. It seems the training can make the
difference, as HUNTERS is pushed out of top team by PBA, who came from 5th with a
4-0-0 this turn. PBA stable has parlayed this turn's 4-0-0 into a 4 space move up
the rankings. This brings them up to 1st place. Good work, guys! On their very
first turn, THE OPERA had a 3-1-1, and with this kind of luck or skill, should do
well. Welcome to LIN TIRIAN. And let's see, FAUST fought EMBEZZLING SCRIBE and
gained 21 points and contributed to THE OPERA's 3-1-1. BOXWOOD has lost to IRLON,
falling 8 points, while helping make TREE PEOPLE a 0-2-0 turn. Defending his title
for another turn, TERMINOTTER III kept TREE PEOPLE's warrior, CHIP-WOOD, from
claiming the throne. By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night,
cramped under the table at The Lost Hope Inn?
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. TREE PEOPLE has cause to stand tall, as they were LIN
TIRIAN's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. And guess
who avoided TREE PEOPLE stable the most? Believe it or not, it was WILD KINGDOM.
Anyone surprised?
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. This is not good to see. Why pray
tell has THE LOIN KING been sent to the Dark Arena by WILD KINGDOM? And why with a
6-3-1 record?? Is it really true that LIN TIRIAN has more dishwashers per capita
that fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. Always good to rest in LIN TIRIAN, but never good to wear out my welcome.
Look for me in future turns. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper--

Boxwood -- The thing is, boxwood SMELLS funny. I really don't like it. -- Jayne the

I have returned after a five-year absence. I expect all tithes, gifts and bequeaths
to resume as normal. -- Magic Man
4 May 2005
Several questions have been asked about Slaughter's Challenge that I'd like to
address and clarify.
1) All Prizes must be used on the contest team, this includes the resurrection.
Remember any fast arena team should be able to transfer to a slow arena
(except for arena 82, I believe).
2) Warriors will be allowed to fight and run in the dead tourney, should there
be one, and return if an opening can be made without breaking the rules
(i.e. only one DA fight allowed per team).
3) If you win your single DA match you do not get another. It's one use of the
Dark Arena win or lose so if you want him/her/it dead be sure and throw the
match!
4) The resurrection potion's longevity has been extended by the commission to 6
months but the other potions (favorites, and +1 bonus) must still be used
within 2 turns and on a 5 FE or higher warrior. The resurrection can go on
any warrior regardless of FE.

P.S. My thanks to those already entered (Hammer, The Consortium, Tripwire, Stik, and
Shaman) and hope many more find a reason to come to arena 54. Again, my email is
triumph1971@hotmail.com or you can diplo me in arena 14 at THE DEATH SQUAD (63) if
you need more info!
