Hail and well met, Aradi! I guess it is totally appropriate that a Queen sits on the throne. We shall see how long I stay here, and if I get stuck fighting NPCs because nobody can rouse themselves out of their drunken stupor early enough to make it to the arena. Which is also a big reason my teammates and I managed to claim five arena awards, and also claim a free turn next cycle. Thank you, Aradi taxpayers! (It's not that hard to claim top team when all the other teams are running skeleton crews.) Only ten warriors fighting and five of them are Neon Royalty... C'mon, Aradi! Show up! And that means that there's not much else to write about. So, until next time... May the gods guide your blows straight and true! -- Queen Tiffin, your Duelmistress SPY REPORT It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report. Sit back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis. A stormcloud is brewing over the ELEMENTS OF POWER guildhouse. Rumor says any more weeks like this ones 0-0-0 may send the team to the Dark Arena. Hey everybody, watch out for ROYAL ASSASSIN, who flew up 23 points in the rankings after mashing TAKE CHARGE like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. TAKE CHARGE was subdued by ROYAL ASSASSIN and drops 21 points. It's a proud day for the THE BUNKHOUSE stable, as their warrior, SHEEPY THOMPSON, ascended the Duelmaster's throne. 4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at that location. Here is other news that is of note. Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! We might as well mark the passing of STOUCH, who was relatively new to the arena at 5-2-0. Probably killed before his first shave. Ask not the elves for counsel, for they will say both yes and no. Silly buggers, eh? I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of you whom I have not offended yet. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some tracks. Its been real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SHEEPY THOMPSON 8538 14 11 0 126 THE BUNKHOUSE (595) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME KELLY FABULOUS 8221 16 15 0 105 THE BUNKHOUSE (595) NATURAL LOG 9737 10 2 0 101 RAMONDA'S CLASS (733) ROYAL ASSASSIN 9722 7 5 0 96 NEON ROYALTY (732) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -MODERN PROMETHEUS 9825 12 1 0 89 UNNAMEABLES (91) QUEEN TIFFIN 9710 12 6 0 86 NEON ROYALTY (732) TIGERIA 9756 13 6 0 79 TEMERE NOMEN (734) TAKE CHARGE 9636 16 16 0 75 13TH CIRCLE (131) LORD SUNSTONE 9698 11 7 0 68 NEON ROYALTY (732) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME RAIN MISTRESS 9789 6 1 0 61 TEMERE NOMEN (734) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BADGER 9661 7 33 0 54 RED DOG GANG (476) BOMBS 9797 5 1 0 54 THE BUNKHOUSE (595) ISHAMAEL 4694 5 2 1 49 THE FORSAKEN (383) CAROM 9724 8 8 0 48 13TH CIRCLE (131) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ARANGAR 4690 5 3 0 45 THE FORSAKEN (383) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME COLDY 9758 5 9 1 33 THE BUNKHOUSE (595) -CALM ANEMONE 9706 3 2 1 33 UNNAMEABLES (91) PULPIT 9764 3 5 0 33 13TH CIRCLE (131) SECRET RETRIBUTION 9668 3 0 0 31 WRATHMEN 23-40 (728) PRINCE LAYOUN 9778 6 5 0 26 NEON ROYALTY (732) THE IRON DUKE 9769 3 4 0 26 NEON ROYALTY (732) LUPOSABRE 9790 2 8 0 25 TEMERE NOMEN (734) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -MAGMA 7835 0 2 0 21 ELEMENTS OF POWER (390) BAD RED 9772 3 10 0 19 RED DOG GANG (476) -PASSION AGGRESSION 9720 1 0 0 16 UNNAMEABLES (91) ORGLANDES 9765 3 5 0 15 13TH CIRCLE (131) -CHUCK MEAT 9766 1 0 0 11 UNNAMEABLES (91) SOH CAH TOA 9738 1 1 0 11 RAMONDA'S CLASS (733) EXPONENT 9734 1 1 0 8 RAMONDA'S CLASS (733) BAYERN 9783 0 4 0 4 13TH CIRCLE (131) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
