SPY REPORT
Hello! Hello! Hello! It is another exciting turn in Telorinthe! My name is Ori
Starbloom and I will be your spy reporter for this most excellent turn 150. Wow!
This place has been going for 150 turns! This is amazing! We should do something to
celebrate. Everyone join me at The Laughing Giant Tavern after the fights today, and
we can talk about all the great things that happened this turn! I am even more
excited about this turn now, if that is possible!
It is good to see Mr. Crip has returned to the arena. I have never met him
personally, but the spy reporters that frequent the other slow arenas speak very
highly of him. I can only speak for myself because I have a feeling that Mr. Savant
and Mr. Weirdo were not as happy to see him. Jester, a member of Savant's team, was
our Duelmaster last turn. With Crip's return, Jester met Mother-in-Law in the Title
fight. The style match up favored Mother-In-Law and 4 minutes after the match
started, we had a new Duelmaster. Telorinthe has a long and tiresome history with
Total Parry Duelmasters. Ha! You get it? Long and tiresome! Okay, I'll move on.
Congrats to our new Duelmaster, Mother-In-Law!
After a few tense exchanges in the personal ads between Conjure the Sun and Kame
House, it is not surprising to see them in the avoid section of our report. Conjure
the Sun was the most avoided team for the turn, and Kame House avoided them the most.
Let me see, the most challenged warrior for the turn was Ice Man. He killed a member
House of Fur warrior a few turns back, and it looks as if they did not like that one
bit! Choco bloodfeuded him for a second time this turn, and Ice Man lost.
I am sad to report that a few warriors did not survive the turn. Eclipse, who
sent me a personal ad this turn, did not survive in his fight against Hurricane
Season. This is why I said Weirdo may not be happy to see Crip return. I am a
professional spy reporter, why am I sad right now? Also, we have to say goodbye to
Milky, a young warrior from House of Fur. The appropriately named Nightmare killed
her in a 1-minute fight. We also bid farewell to Maine. He randomly matched up with
Wyan from the Sorcerer Kings. It was one-sided and over rather quickly. Oh, now I am
even more sad. Okay, I have to pull myself together to finish this report, then I can
go have a good cry to get this out of my system!
Wetworks is still the top team, but The Dragons are only a kill out of first
place. The Dragons had the best upward mobility for turn 150. NFL Network moves up
one spot and Sorcerer Kings fall two. The Ferocious Five close out the top 5 teams.
Conjure the Sun experienced the largest loss falling out of the top 5. There are no
new graduates to report this turn.
Okay, whew, I think I am better now. Don't get me wrong, I'm probably going to
burst into tears of sadness at any moment, but I think I am well enough to finish up
here. Remember, come see me at The Laughing Giant later this afternoon to celebrate
150 turns. I also want to see each of you back next turn. I don't think anyone can
challenge Mother-In-Law for the throne, but there are plenty of ways to lose in the
arena. A returning team could pose a threat or even one of the arena stand bys could
pull an upset. Come back and see!
-- Ori Starbloom
P.S. Thank you to everyone being active in the personal ads. I also love all the team
spotlights you guys and gals are writing! Keep up the good work!

The Consortium
This is just a reminder to all participants in this arena that it is a no-tourney
arena, and is therefore subject to the no-tourney rules. The pledge all participants
took when they entered this arena is as follows:
********************************************************************************
NO-TOURNEY ARENA PLEDGE
* I pledge that I will not send warriors from this team to a tournament, nor
will I use a tournament prize on a warrior from this team.
* I pledge to run a full team when I run turns in this arena. If circumstances
preclude my running less than a full team, I will notify the Player Committee.
* I agree to abide by the decisions of the Player Committee.
* I understand that any warrior that participates in a tournament or receives
a tournament prize shall be sent to the Dark Arena until they are dead.
********************************************************************************
Best of luck in the arena!
TEAM AND CHARACTER MAINTENANCE SERVICE
As a service to all managers, we offer team and character maintenance. This
option allows you to make sure your team or selected warriors will never miss a turn!
Team Maintenance: This will cause all warriors on that team to fight every
turn; if it's an AD arena, any new warriors who arrive on that team will
fight the turn they arrive. In A.D. or in transfer arenas where you have
multiple teams, each team will need to separately be on Team Maintenance.
(The only exception is new warriors; they will not fight until they have had
their initial strategy input.)
Character Maintenance: This will cause only that warrior to fight every
turn. If the character graduates or changes arenas, he/she/it will stay on
Character Maintenance.
In either case, you may submit strategy sheets for your warriors each turn, if
you wish. The Team/Character Maintenance will make sure your warriors fight each
turn, and they will always use their most recently entered strategy.
Remember that challenges, avoids, and challenge/if challenged strategies will not
carry through from turn to turn. These sections are only used on the turn they are
entered. In order to continually challenge or avoid you will need to submit a
strategy sheet each time.
One other thing to remember about maintenance: Maintenance is not something
that you write on your turnsheet (like in demo tourneys). In order to add or remove
maintenance for a team or warrior, you must send a note to Customer Service. If you
just write things like this on your strategy sheet, they may or may not get done.
Likewise, don't write it on your personal ads. Please, please, please put it on a
separate piece of paper with "Customer Service" written on the top. If you don't,
well, you can imagine.
Thanks for your time. Good luck in Duelmasters! -- Green Eyes
