TEAM SPOTLIGHT
Welcome to turn 400 Shadowspire! Sadly, I should have been working on this list a long
time ago, but kept putting it off. So I asked for help and Den and Master Darque came
through for me (Thanks!) and I was able to get this list together at the last minute.
I will make a master PDF add it to the Shadowspire Hall of Records online. I have not
been here for every one of the 400, but I have enjoyed this arena. I have loved this
arena so much I kept up with the HoF and Hall of Records even though I wasn't able to
field a team in the arena for over 100 turns. Here's to another 400 for the Spire!

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
That is why he is called Visionist. His plan worked just as he told me. Challenge
Buyica, check. Avoid Kill 'em All and Cult of Bacchus, double check. Win challenge
fight and keep title double check. Get invite for the Isle and qualify for the Hall of
Fame, double check. Plus Boss says Deep Six qualified for the Hall of Fame as well.
Congrats!
Well, one more fight then off to the Isle. I know everyone wants to see Deep Six and I
fight each for our last fight here in the 'Spire, but I am not going to challenge
anyone, I am going leave it up to the gods. It is how I got here.
Farewell, Shadowspire.
-- Your Duelmaster,
Lord Protector and Hall of Famer,
Zehdea of Clan Longbeard
SPY REPORT
Happy 400 turns! The big 4-0-0 for The Spire! She doesn't look at day over 39 or is
it 390? While I do my best to hide my contempt for the managers, the warriors, and a
majority of the vendors, I do love this arena! It is a good thing she has reached
this milestone! So, let's take a look at all the action that happened on this
momentous occasion. It is a special event, so I'll try to be nice and put forward my
best effort at staying positive. Look, I said I'd try, not that I'd succeed.
Zehdea left us for greener pastures on the Isle, but not before one final fight to bid
us commoners farewell. Deep Six had also received an invitation from the Isle, so it
seems fitting they would celebrate turn 400 with a final bout before leaving. Zehdea
leaves with yet another win on his record. This is not to discount Deep Six, who
graduates with one of the most impressive records that The Spire has ever seen. I
believe both will be inducted into the Shadowpire Hall of Fame. Zehdea's induction
will be based up his record and stint on the throne, while Deep Six's induction comes
from his impressive record. Congrats to both of you on your accomplishments.
Two Lord Protectors fighting left us with a need for Duelmaster. Velina took a
proactive approach to this dilemma by challenging Uhkant of Clan Longbeard. It was a
down challenge but seems to have paid off for Velina in the end as she takes the
throne on recognition points. Velina is managed by DeGotti. Velina has also received
her invite, so we will go through this same process again next time by crowning a new
Champion of the Spire. Congrats to Velina on the throne and the invitation.
This week's BY THE NUMBERS is brought to you once again by Otto's Diner.
Come Eat at Otto's Diner! We promise not to spit in your food . . . twice!

Non-DA Deaths: 1

Challenges: 12 (6-6-0-0 for the challengers)

Largest Up Challenge: +32 points. KAIBOSH (81-3546) (14-12-1,74) of KILL 'EM
ALL challenged THE LIMPER (81-3516) (16-20-0,106) of BIG LAKE SOLUTION.
KAIBOSH lost to THE LIMPER in a 1-minute expert's Challenge fight.
Largest Down Challenge: -23 points. FRAYED KNOT (81-3438) (25-17-0,92) of KILL
'EM ALL challenged SHIRLEY JACKSON (81-3582) (13-13-0,69) of LITERATE LOONS.
FRAYED KNOT unbelievably bested SHIRLEY JACKSON in a 3-minute Challenge match.
Time for me to go, ya bums. Yeah, I kept up the niceness as long as I could. It was
eating away at me from the inside. There is an old proverb that says, "Bitterness is
drinking poison and expecting another person to die." Well, I have to say that
holding my tongue and keeping my sarcasm at bay are about the same. In short, y'all
are killing me! Come back next turn where I get to return back to my chipper self and
tell you how I really feel. See you next turn!

P.S. Be on the lookout for the 400 Turn SYP report. Phineas plans to send it out soon
and you should get it as a diplo with the next turn.

Well, the Black Orc did his best, but I prevailed. Boat ride here I come. -- Narsil
Xiqueel -- Dude! I understand the blood feud, but what is it with the crazy learns for
you these past two turns and I get squat? Not cool. -- Broken Blade
Raymond Carver -- You lasted longer than I expected.
Anton Chekhov -- That was a pretty exciting fight. -- Sting
Sarah Jane -- A quick sweet win for my first fight. I like that. -- Foe-Hammer
Does the boss always glare at his fighters like we are dead meat? -- Athelas
All -- Zehdea, my 5th Striker to go to the Isle from Shadowspire and 26th Lord
Protector. My tallest warrior to ever get his invite at 6'10". His stats are 9-9-19-
17-10-5-15. In 28 fights he learned 53 skills, of which 19 were Attack (his favorite
learn) and 16 were Decise. He struggled his first 4 fights with a short spear before
switching to Epee versus light armor and Scimitar vs heavy. His favorite weapon ended
up being Maul and his favorite rhythm is very low and moderate and he got slash

BOTTLES OF BEER III!!! (+100) CONTEST: NEWS FROM THE GLADITORIAL COMMISSION: ALL
PARTICIPANTS WIN A PRIZE! Plus contest clarifications:
You heard right my friends: ALL 99 Bottles participants who do not miss more than 1
turn during the entire contest (including the warm-up phase) will receive a "Pick of
the Litter" replacement. A PotL replacement will be 10 ordinary random replacements:
you pick the one you wish to keep, and the other 9 are discarded. Naturally, this
replacement must be placed in DM 20.
What's new:
Your CotS "status symbol": O^O (capital O, shift-6, capital O) must appear somewhere
in it's name. However, it may appear anywhere. It need not be in the beginning as was
originally stated. So names such as MO^ONSHOT or THRU THE O^O will be quite
acceptable..
Some clarifications:
* Do not forget to write a personal ad for the Turn 184 newsletter. In other words,
assuming you do start on turn 184, you need to send in a personal ad with your very
first turn.
The requirement to write a personal ad is discontinued once the Arena Achievement
stage starts on turn 199.
* This should not be an issue, but Bottles for Arena Awards will be awarded for
chartered teams only.
* If you win one or more of the CotS replacements, they/it MUST be used in DM 20.
* Note that the NO AVOIDS policy will be STRICLY ENFORCED!! If you are caught
avoiding, you will be disqualified from the contest! HOWEVER--this does not start
until turn 199; no one including myself or the Gladitorial Commission will give a
hoot about avoids until turn 199. But be sure you get it out of your system prior:
if you are caught avoiding on turn 199 (or after), you WILL be disqualified!!
* On the other hand, fielding a partial team is a no-no RIGHT FROM THE START on turn
184. You will receive a 3-bottle penalty for any inactive warrior, or 1-bottle
penalty for any inactive rookie. And your Bottle total can and will go negative if
necessary.
It is highly recommended that you place your team "on maintenance" to avoid any
complications caused due to slow mail or any other unforeseen catastrophy. In case
you are not familiar with the term: a team on maintenance will automatically run
again with its previous turn's strategies (without the challenges) even if none are
sent in or are not received in time, Just send your request to be put on maintenance
to CSR@reality.com.
