SPY REPORT
Hail BONSUR! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your
deeds. It seems the training can make the difference, as WASTELAND II is pushed out
of top team by BLADES OF ICE, who came from 2nd with a 4-0-0 this turn. THE
CUTTHROATS stable has parlayed this turn's 0-0-0 into a 4 space move up the rankings.
This brings them up to 9th place. Good work, guys! The BLADES OF ICE guild has had
a 4-0-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You never know where this
kind of thing can lead. And let's see, GOKU fought YAKKO and gained 17 points and
contributed to WASTELAND II's 2-1-0. YAKKO has lost to GOKU, falling 13 points,
while helping make UNDER JOLLY ROGER a 0-4-0 turn. This week's Duelmaster bout was
between TALLAHASSE TINA and our Duelmaster ARSENAL, making a challenge. The attempts
to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and ARSENAL remains BONSUR's top warrior for
another turn. By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped
under the table at The Warty Toad?
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one. BLADES OF ICE has cause to stand tall,
as they were BONSUR's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to
beat. And avoiding BLADES OF ICE more than any other team we find FLOWER CHILDREN.
BONSUR, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? Well, sports fans,
take notice that TALLAHASSE TINA from BEACH BABES was BONSUR's most challenged
warrior this turn.
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. 1410171117411 must have surprised
SUGAR AND SPICE this turn, after they sent it to the Dark Arena, but the Dark Arena
couldn't hold it! We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their
enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered rude.
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. Well, I'm burning daylight here in BONSUR and I've a long road
ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until you see my quill in BONSUR again, farewell--
Alarond the Scribe
