SPY REPORT
Greetings fellow Lapurians, the partying at the The Burning Tree lasted a week after
BRINE SUSPECT became Duelmaster. The former champ dropped too far in the ranks to try
and retake the throne. So that means it will be one of Visionist's trio or the Bloke's
smelly shieldmaster or one of Obregon's well-rested warriors, if they return. My money
is on the Brine to hold onto the title. Let's find out.
Well we lost another team and are down to 9, but all of them are active this week. So
that gives us 18 fights, with two bloodfeuds, six challenges and the remaining ten
random Commission matchups. The bloodfeuds were ZAGRID of MID EARTH bloodfeuding down
in fight experience and recognition against HIAWATHA of WAR PARTY; Visionist's zombie
warrior bested Obregon's mohawk warrior in a crowd pleasing 1 minute fight. The second
was when STONE HINGE of BLACK KELTS bloodfeuded END OF BIDET of ALMOST EXACTLY. Purple
Sage's megalithic warrior was denied glory by Vlad's porcelain warrior in a 2 minute
battle.
In team news, Visionist and his Mid Earth crew brought home a 3-2-0. The Bloke and his
Avoid Me trio had a 3-0-0 to hang onto 2nd place. Rounding out the top 3 is Master
Beru and his Army of Darkness, who jumped from 7th to 3rd and a 4-0-0 result. The Most
Avoided Team is naturally the Bloke and his AVOID ME! intimidation machine, who has 13
avoids. The next closest was 2 guilds with 4 avoids. The Team on the Move is POKE'
MON, who gained 33 points this week.
.
The fight for the title was a random rematch from 4 months ago. The new Duelmaster
BRINE SUSPECT of BLUE HERRINGS fought WARIUS of MID EARTH for the title, with
Herrings' salty champion, much like before being overpowered by Visionist's Karnhorn
warrior in a quick 1 minute. All Hail the new Duelmaster, WARIUS!
Challenge fights...
SKUNK of AVOID ME! challenged SACAGAWEA of WAR PARTY to a scumfest. After a lunch
break everyone came back to the Bloke's odorous warrior outlasting Obergon's Shoshone
warrior in a very unpopular 31 minute 2 step lesson.
UPCHUCK of AVOID ME! challenged NEAR WHALE of BLUE HERRINGS, with the Bloke's spewing
warrior luckily beating Herrings' large warrior in a 4 minute match.
APOSTATE POSTMAN of ARMY OF DARKNESS challenged DROP THE SOAP of ALMOST EXACTLY, with
Master Beru's rebel warrior being overpowered by Vlad's weird warrior in a 1 minute
Challenge struggle.
ERRATIC EDUCATOR of ARMY OF DARKNESS challenged PRETTY ALRIGHT of BLUE HERRINGS, with
Master Beru's wandering warrior besting Herrings' vague warrior in a 3 minute
veteran's competition.
SUE CHEF of ARMY OF DARKNESS challenged LITTLE FISHY of BLUE HERRINGS, with Master
Beru's gourmet warrior barely winning victory over Herrings' bait warrior in a 2
minute duel.
WINDLESS WHISPER of ALMOST EXACTLY challenged BRIAR of POKE' MON, with Vlad's soft
spoken warrior being overpowered by Poke Mon's thorny warrior a 1 minute duel.
In Individual Achievements:
This Week's Favorite is HOUN DOGX of CARDOW HUNTERS.
The Biggest Winner is ONCE AGAIN HOUN DOG of CARDOW HUNTERS, who gain 18 points.
The Biggest Loser is KUHRIS of MID EARTH, who lost 14 points of recognition.
My "Fight of the Week" goes to two rookies... FELONIOUS FRUNK of ALMOST EXACTLY fought
SALAZZLE of POKE' MON, with Vlad's criminal warrior slimly losing to Poke Mon's
mysterious warrior in a 3 minute amateur's duel. Well done to you both.
Here Here, I have received notice from the commission that WARIUS of MID EARTH has
been invited to the Isle of the Eye. Next time we honor Lord Protector Warius and with
that good news I will bring my report to a close. 'Til next time.

PERSONAL ADS
Poor Vlad. He must have been deeply at the vino. Sad stuff, you know. I mean he
actually tried to pen something in that state; actually to write anything at all was
so sadly unusual. I guess one could call that dribble loquacious, but it was so
indecipherable. But he tried, and it was probably meant to be nice. Gotta feel for the
guy. Anyway, thanks for trying from all us real Lapurians. -- the Bloke
P.S. Avoid the alcohol, Hokie, and carry two putters as you tend to wear them out.
And to all you rumdrums, listen up. You best avoid me. -- the Bloke
Brine Suspect, I salute you, Champ. You showed me who is boss. -- Cancer
Gotta say hip, hip to ole Visionist for the info and annual summary. Maybe he's not
such a bad guy after all. Ya think? -- the Bloke
"Despite my best efforts I was not able to find a fight worthy of my Fight of the
Week" -- Some loser Spyreporter who prolly wears nothing under his kilt. Are you
kidding me? 35FE Wagon Driver down-challenges by 43 points, in a bloodfeud no less,
and loses to a 6 FE sapling. Small wonder that trust of the lamestream news
organizations is at an all-time low. Nothing but losers and haters. FAKE NEWS!
Drop the Soap -- Don't get all lathered up. -- Kuhris
Erratic Educator -- Damn that felt good! -- Grakus
Froslass -- Two fights later and nothing has changed. -- Elhad
