SPY REPORT
Hail VALAMANTIS! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for
your deeds. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown
for DARK AGES, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 8 into 12th. PRIVATE IDAHO
stable has parlayed this turn's 2-1-0 into a 5 space move up the rankings. This
brings them up to 5th place. Good work, guys! And let's see, LARGE MARGE fought
POLO GROUNDS and gained 22 points and contributed to PRIVATE IDAHO's 2-1-0. POLO
GROUNDS has lost to LARGE MARGE, falling 16 points, while helping make DIAMONDS IN
THE RUFF a 4-1-0 turn. And not without some honor, HOUSE RUTH BUILT now claims the
title and throne of Duelmaster of VALAMANTIS. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have
heard from unimpeachable sources that Drunkard's Guild uses trolls in their stew.
Talk about gristle!
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one. RIO VISTANS has cause to stand tall, as
they were VALAMANTIS' most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to
beat. And guess who avoided RIO VISTANS stable the most? Believe it or not, it was
ASSASSINS. Anyone surprised? The most challenged warrior this turn was KEYBOARDS'
warrior GATERON. More fighters challenged it than challenged the Duelmaster!
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? Is it really true that VALAMANTIS has more dishwashers per capita
that fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. Always good to rest in VALAMANTIS, but never good to wear out my welcome.
Look for me in future turns. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper--
