                                      SPY REPORT

     Hello.

     This is turn 1065 in the Arena of Death. There were 20 fights in the arena, none 
in the Dark Arena.  11 of them started with challenges.  Wow.  Over half!  Grim 
Fandango avoided Philthballs.
     As usual, let's consider the deaths first.  A Persistent Beggar was killed.  He 
was annoying.  His last words were, "Kind sir, please spare 50,000 gold pieces for a 
resurrection for an unhoused citizen, to undo what you've done here?"  Heh.  Not that 
you can get resurrected for that amount of cash.  Only Lady Greywand can do it and she 
doesn't do it for money.
     Back in turn 1061, Spaghetti of Comfort foods killed Wanderlust of Nomadic Tribe.  
No revenge happened.  Bloodfeuding isn't a necessity, after all; it's just an option.  
Spaghetti was busy, anyway, getting scummed by Blak Box.  BLAK BOX (21-10108) (23-14-
0,118) of GRIM FANDANGO challenged SPAGHETTI (21-10187) (9-5-2,100) of COMFORT FOOD.  
BLAK BOX outwaited SPAGHETTI in a 14 minute mismatched Challenge Title fight.  So Blak 
Box is still our Duelmaster and top Total Parry, and Spaghetti is still top Striker 
but is down in the Champs where the Box can't get at him.
     Today, DARK SPLIT (21-10095) (25-14-0,89) of BIG LAKE TERROR fought CORRUPT 
GAOLER (21-10138) (12-9-0,67) of A FOREST DARK.  DARK SPLIT was butchered by CORRUPT 
GAOLER in a 1 minute one-sided battle.  Good grief.  Dark Split was very popular with 
the spectators.  Corrupt Gaoler is the top Basher, and now 57 points higher in the 
rankings.  Maybe one of the spectators will bloodfeud him?
     In turn 1062, Shew Shine Boy of Ben's Bazaar killed Viga-Wulf of Grim Fandango.  
And this happened today:  SEQUOIA RAZOR (21-10233) (7-6-0,46) of NOMADIC TRIBE 
challenged SHEW SHINE BOY (21-10291) (5-2-1,54) of BEN'S BAZAAR.  SEQUOIA RAZOR won 
victory over SHEW SHINE BOY in a 2 minute Challenge fight.  I think Grim Fandango has 
one turn left to bloodfeud, if they want to.  Indus Illwill would be eligible but not 
a good bet.  Blak Box could do it, if he wants to stoop so low in the rankings.  Ben's 
Bazaar didn't do too hot today, by the way, with a 0-4-0.
     The Whovians had a 3-1-0 turn and are now the top team.  Cool.
     So, that's all I've got today.  Catch you in fourteen.
