SPY REPORT
It is a beautiful day for some arena mayhem! The sun was shining and the blood was
flowing. I'm being a bit hyperbolic about the . . . sun, there were a few clouds.
Eh, it wasn't bloody of all. There were no deaths this turn. It is like you didn't
even try. I think I saw one gladiator who needed a bandage, but it was an utter
disgrace out there! Do better, ya bums! Okay, let's gander in absolute horror at this
bloodless turn like a group of touchy-feely Andorians at a sing-along!
We have a repeat Duelmaster in Agave. Agave made excellent use of the tools available
to him by blood feuding Tziss in the Initiates. I get that some people do not like
such things, and those people are wrong! If you can't deal with the consequences of
your actions, be a spy reporter! On the sands, if you kill, you better be ready to
pay in blood, or at least a string of four overwhelming losses. Congrats to Agave,
who also got an invite to the Isle. We will certainly have a new Duelmaster next
cycle. The only question that needs answering is, who will it be?
Literate Loons are the most avoided warriors. Far Travelers mostly avoided them.
Moving up the ranks of our most notorious warrior, we find our Popularity Leader,
Gayne, as the most challenged warrior. All those other challenges were for naught
because Inebriation had feuding rights. Tito's put in a valiant effort, but it was
not enough to overcome the former Duelmaster. We witnessed an abundance of blood feuds
with 5 of the 13 challenges fitting into the category. The advantage tilted slightly
into the favor of the avengers at a 3-2 record.
NBA Legends remains the top team over the last 3 turns. Big Lake Solution was the
only new addition to the top 5. They replaced the new arrivals, Roman Republic, who
dropped down to the 7th spot. Big Lake Solution and Inebriation tied for the largest
placement gain, moving up by 4. The Church dropped moved from 9th to 14th and got the
uncoveted recognition of falling. Pray the Gods returned to the sands with a single
warrior. Come on, Vlad! Replenish the roster!
This is normally the section where I talk about the warriors that died. Since you
bums didn't kill anyone, we will skip this part.
Now, the big finish! Okay, it is going to be a medium finish at best. My hand is
tired of holding this quill. I'm lying! I'm holding an ale, and I have some intern
writing all of this down as I dictate to him. They do this stuff for free! They say it
is for the experience, but I have experienced getting stiffed on pay and do recommend
it. I'm out!
