SPY REPORT Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in ARKERS this turn, and let's start with a look at some of the teams. And let's see, PLYMOUTH ROCK fought VIRGINAL CONCUBINE and gained 17 points and contributed to SMITHSONIAN's 5-0-0. The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and CONFIDENCE remains ARKERS' top warrior for another turn. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Dripping Blade 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. I also notice that the YOU PAY I SLAY stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on ARKERS, what are you afraid of? And avoiding YOU PAY I SLAY more than any other team we find SMITHSONIAN. ARKERS, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? The most challenged warrior this turn was YOU PAY I SLAY's warrior ANITA KILL. More fighters challenged her than challenged the Duelmaster! A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to be true. I guess it was coming sooner or later, YOU PAY I SLAY has lost ANITA KILL, and ARKERS is bound to miss her. For a little while, at least. Seriously now, is it really honorable for CONFIDENCE from CONSANGUINEOUS to kill ANITA KILL and give YOU PAY I SLAY the chance to bloodfeud? Mmmm, could be. 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. Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the sweetest. Always good to rest in ARKERS, but never good to wear out my welcome. Look for me in future turns. Until you see my quill in ARKERS again, farewell-- Alarond the Scribe DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME CONFIDENCE 4894 29 12 1 168 CONSANGUINEOUS (567) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -ZORK 5195 13 5 3 94 Z GLADIATORZ (519) YOSEMITE 5231 14 0 0 91 SMITHSONIAN (245) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ALAMO 5151 18 12 1 89 SMITHSONIAN (245) -URA GONER 5214 5 1 0 84 YOU PAY I SLAY (373) IWO JIMA 5223 14 4 0 83 SMITHSONIAN (245) -ZEPHYR 5204 15 8 2 82 Z GLADIATORZ (519) PLYMOUTH ROCK 5218 19 1 0 74 SMITHSONIAN (245) -ZEST 5224 15 3 1 71 Z GLADIATORZ (519) NORM QUESHA 5171 16 19 0 67 MIDDLE WAY 11 (546) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MAYFLOWER 5235 12 2 0 44 SMITHSONIAN (245) -ZOO 5236 9 1 0 40 Z GLADIATORZ (519) LELAND OLVEN 5262 4 1 0 38 MIDDLE WAY 11 (546) IMERTA LOEL 5225 2 18 0 35 MIDDLE WAY 11 (546) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME KOTTER NAHL 5197 2 26 0 33 MIDDLE WAY 11 (546) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME LONGSWORD 4758 2 0 0 19 TEAM LUNGE (547) -ZINC 5266 1 0 0 10 Z GLADIATORZ (519) -PENNY 5261 0 1 0 7 YOU PAY I SLAY (373) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
