                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly BLACKSTONE games.  The proverbial rising comet can 
only hope to compare with THIRSTY THUGS 1451's team record!  A 1-0-0 week and now a 
firm grasp on a 17th place ranking.  I have begun to suspect trickery on the part of 
PROJECT MAYHEM 45.  How else weeks like this one's 1-0-0?  How else the sudden move 
to 18th team?  The proverbial rising comet can only hope to compare with FEARSOME 5's 
team record!  A 1-0-0 week and now a firm grasp on a 19th place ranking.  I have 
begun to suspect trickery on the part of DUNGEON DONT'S.  How else weeks like this 
one's 1-0-0?  How else the sudden move to 20th team?  The proverbial rising comet can 
only hope to compare with ROAKIE HALEN 15's team record!  A 1-0-0 week and now a firm 
grasp on a 21st place ranking.  I have begun to suspect trickery on the part of SOUP 
FORCES 22.  How else weeks like this one's 1-0-0?  How else the sudden move to 22nd 
team?  LET ME THINK bore the brunt of major assault on their standings this week as 
they dropped to 24th position as the result of going 0-1-0!  My tutors were fond of 
telling me that the higher you rise the harder you fall.  This week PADDED WALLS went 
0-1-0 and fell 19 notches into 25th!  The proverbial rising comet can only hope to 
compare with ARCANE FOLLY's team record!  A 1-0-0 week and now a firm grasp on a 26th 
place ranking.  I have begun to suspect trickery on the part of PASTA LA VISTA.  How 
else weeks like this one's 1-0-0?  How else the sudden move to 27th team?  The 
proverbial rising comet can only hope to compare with FEAR FACTORY 15's team record!  
A 1-0-0 week and now a firm grasp on a 30th place ranking.  I have begun to suspect 
trickery on the part of OPEN SHOP.  How else weeks like this one's 2-2-0?  How else 
the sudden move to 34th team?  The proverbial rising comet can only hope to compare 
with ROOKIE STYX 25's team record!  A 1-0-1 week and now a firm grasp on a 52nd place 
ranking.  RECORDS bore the brunt of major assault on their standings this week as 
they dropped to 54th position as the result of going 0-1-0!  My tutors were fond of 
telling me that the higher you rise the harder you fall.  This week THIRSTY THUGS 
1466 went 0-1-0 and fell 27 notches into 55th!  I have begun to suspect trickery on 
the part of PROJECT MAYHEM 4.  How else weeks like this one's 1-0-0?  How else the 
sudden move to 57th team?  PROJECT MAYHEM 16 bore the brunt of major assault on their 
standings this week as they dropped to 58th position as the result of going 0-1-0!  
My tutors were fond of telling me that the higher you rise the harder you fall.  This 
week QUEEZY went 0-1-0 and fell 25 notches into 60th!  ROOKIE CRUE 2 bore the brunt 
of major assault on their standings this week as they dropped to 61st position as the 
result of going 0-1-0!  The proverbial rising comet can only hope to compare with 
ROOKIE QUEEN 47's team record!  A 1-0-0 week and now a firm grasp on a 63rd place 
ranking.  My tutors were fond of telling me that the higher you rise the harder you 
fall.  This week 071709AK went 0-1-0 and fell 14 notches into 65th!  THE DONALD bore 
the brunt of major assault on their standings this week as they dropped to 68th 
position as the result of going 1-0-0!  My tutors were fond of telling me that the 
higher you rise the harder you fall.  This week DUEL HACKS went 0-2-0 and fell 17 
notches into 70th!  IDIOCRACY bore the brunt of major assault on their standings this 
week as they dropped to 71st position as the result of going 0-1-0!  My tutors were 
fond of telling me that the higher you rise the harder you fall.  This week WOS ADU 
went 0-1-0 and fell 12 notches into 73rd!  STRUNG OUT caught the eye of many in the 
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested CUP O TEA and was awarded 37 points 
in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, CRAZY 20 put down IHOP, 
causing it to lose 19 points of recognition in the process.  This time out COTTONS 
made hers bid for the throne as she challenged DOOM BISCUIT in an all out contest of 
skill for possession of the title!  Although COTTONS made a valiant effort, it did 
not suffice to topple the reign of victorious DOOM BISCUIT.  No confirmation, but my 
sources claim that the top team has gained their position using magical aids.  
Charmed weapons perhaps?   
     But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades 
that is city BLACKSTONE.  My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in 
BLACKSTONE these days is 071709AK.  At least, most blades in town are looking to 
avoid them.  If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find 
any of BODY BY OTTO last week.  Busy avoiding 071709AK?  Loose talk at the arena has 
reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after 
JASMINE SAGE.  Watch your back!  SUH SHE must really be harboring a grudge against 
the 071709AK guild!  Merciless, 20 challenged down JASMINE SAGE points this week to 
duel with she.  All the city knows the duel went in favor of SUH SHE.  I shall not 
fail to spread the word in other cities of this "mighty" victory.  A match that 
raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that BUCK RATE posted a 
challenge against the more highly recognized TROPHY WIFE.  The results, you ask?  
Well, the firebrand BUCK RATE was overcame by TROPHY WIFE.  Remember warriors, this 
is the discipline of steel.  I can not but mention with disdain the name of METALLIC 
GUZZLER who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 14 points below in the 
rankings.  I thought METALLIC GUZZLER showed great skill and promise when he was 
subdued by POORLY SUHTED.  All right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  Strange what qualities come forth in the face of 
certain doom.  FERRET has the town astir with the news of his Dark Arena victory!  
BERRIES has sworn to take up religion upon living to tell of hers recent bout with 
the Dark Arena horrors.  A rare thing indeed!  Fate is a fickle mistress.  She 
showers the miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious.  Remember 
this!   
     The girls are as pretty in BLACKSTONE as ever I remembered them....and the 
fighters as ugly!  Don't let your reputation slip!  Sadly warriors, now longer can I 
keep thy company nor savor the ale of thy fine city.  Depart I must and soon!  Till 
we meet again, remember:  a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no 
one; a lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

                        FIRST INAUGURAL ARVAT CONTEST SUPREME

Who can join?  Anyone with a team in Arvat as of 2/1/2018.

When does it start?  First turn due after 2/1/2018.

How long does it run? 13 turns.

How do I join?  Announce your manager name and team name in the Arvat newsletter prior 
to 2/1/2017 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.

How do I win the contest? The team which has accrued the most points as of the end of 
the 13th turn is the winner.  The team which has the 2nd most points is declared the 
runner up.  And the team which has the 3rd most points is declared honorable 
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 against a contest team 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

    B)  Graduating a warrior earns 10 points

    C)  Recognition Leader (Chartered or Unchartered) earns 5 points (if the 
        Duelmaster is the recognition leader as well, then only the DM points apply)

    D)  Popularity Leader earns 5 points

    E)  Turn's most popular earns 5 points

    F)  Top team on the move earns 5 points

    G)  Current Top team earns 10 points

    H)  Any warrior that earns a Tournament Champion in either the April Mail In or 
        July FTF tournament earns 20 points

    I)  Any warrior that earns a Tournament Victor in either of those tournaments 
        earns 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.  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.

What do I win if I win this contest? 

1)  The winner wins all of the rollup certificates given as entry fee for the contest.  
    In addition, the winner gets to pick 3 of the prizes below.

2)  The runner up gets to pick 2 of the prizes below.

3)  The honorable contender gets to pick one of the prizes below.

In addition, all competitors in the contest who run all 13 turns and at least 62 total 
fights will earn 1 potion of +1 bonus, which must be used on a warrior who 
participated at least 1 fight in the contest.  

Also, the team that scores the most points on any one turn of the contest (other than 
the winner, runner up or honorable contender) can pick one prize that was NOT selected 
by those three.

Prizes:

1)  Limited stat switch (You can swap any 2 stats you want on an Arvat replacement 
    rollup that you received within the next 6 month)

2)  Extra replacements (Next time you get a replacement (or whenever you want within 6 
    months) in Arvat you can ask RSI for 5 additional replacements and select the best 
    one for your team)

3)  Limited damage bump (You can pick one warrior on your Arvat team to move up one 
    damage class -- as long as he remains in-bounds for his ST/SZ stats)

4)  Favorite weapon knowledge (You learn the favorite weapon of one of your Arvat 
    warriors -- must be on the team during the contest)

5)  Favorite rhythm knowledge (You learn the favorite offensive effort and activity 
    level of one of your Arvat warriors, who most have been on your team during the 
    contest)

6)  Shrinking potion (You get to take 3 points of size away from an Arvat replacement 
    during the next 6 months and add the 3 points to another stat -- both SZ and the 
    other stat must remain in bounds)

7)  Extra skills (Any one of your warriors in Arvat learns 3 extra skills of your 
    choice (no more than 2 can be in the same area and must be in bounds)

8)  Extra train (Any one of your Arvat warriors gets an extra stat train in the area 
    of your choice -- and must be in bounds)

9)  The Dark One's Massive Rollup prize (You get 50 team sheets, at random, from the 
    Dark One's massive pile of teams.  Most will be mediocre at best, but there are 
    plenty of decent to good warrior prospects in there!)

All prizes must be applied within 6 months from the end of the tournament, must be on 
Arvat warriors on the team that participated in the contest and must be in bounds.
