TEAM SPOTLIGHT
WORD OF THE DAY
Denlusional
(adj.)
Pronunciation: /din-loo'-zhuh-nuhl/
Definition:
Describing a person of little or no consequence who mistakenly believes themselves to
be highly important.
Example: The self-proclaimed "expert" was clearly denlusional, demanding attention no
one wished to give.
Etymology:
A playful blend of delusional and null (meaning nothing), implying a delusion of
grandeur where no substance exists.
Related Forms:
Denlusion (n.) -- the false belief of being significant when one is not.
Denlusionally (adv.) -- in a manner marked by unwarranted self-importance.
Usage Note:
Often used humorously or sarcastically to highlight inflated egos in people who wield
no real influence.
SPY REPORT
The sea air has a way of stripping away pretenses. Perhaps that is why every stumble,
miscalculation, and untimely death in Niytyole is so delightfully exposed. Let us
begin picking apart each of those foibles we witnessed from the gladiators and
managers.
A Title Fight?
The so-called "crown jewel" of the day featured MTV stepping out against a weary
Indygo Blackrose. Six minutes later, Indygo looked every bit his record, while MTV
claimed the throne with the subtlety of a rooster at sunrise. Duelmaster by attrition?
Perhaps, but Duelmaster all the same.
Avoids & Cowardice
One cannot ignore the strange avoidance game in this arena. Emu's Brood wore the
scarlet letter of being "most avoided," as though their 48-52 record sends seasoned
warriors quaking. In reality, the culprits were Misfit Toy Makers, proving that these
toys aren't just for children! They are also for running away with your tail tucked
between your legs.
Blood & Death - Yes, Please!
The sands ran red, though not all deaths were equally noble. Black found himself
butchered by Wart Hog. Brutal? Yes, quite. What do you expect when a hog charges in?
Dead Bird 36 lived up to the name. He was dispatched without ceremony by Joe Fabulous.
Finally, Calypso Vane claimed the life of a Persistent Beggar. By torchlight, the Dark
Arena claims were bountiful with four deaths, including Shewish Giant. Dumb Dilly
decided to leave with a bit of honor intact, even though we all doubted it was
possible. This may have been the only "miracle" of turn 1022.
Graduation & Farewell
One familiar face, Indygo Blackrose, prepares to leave us. Battered and bested this
turn, Indygo will shuffle off to Advanced, which is perhaps a kindness rather than
subjecting him to more embarrassment here. And yes, Dumb Dilly took that same road
today. Luck favors the foolish, it seems.
So there you have it. Niytyole Island, turn 1022, a stage where mediocrity parades as
mastery, cowardice wears the mask of strategy, and even death occasionally fails to
stick. Keep watching! The tide always comes back in, and it often carries something
rotten with it.
