SPY REPORT
Hail ARKERS! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your
deeds. BOOK OF THOMAS stable has parlayed this turn's 2-1-0 into a 3 space move up
the rankings. This brings them up to 5th place. Good work, guys! And let's see,
OTHELLO fought DONN and gained 19 points and contributed to BOOK OF THOMAS' 2-1-0.
BETHANE has lost to EVERGREEN, falling 13 points, while helping make MIDDLE WAY 11 a
2-2-0 turn. Due to hers absence and inability to defend the throne, MISS DIRECTION
has lost the title of Duelmaster. We should ask ASPHYXIATE about the thrill of
victory, and what being the new Duelmaster does for a warrior, he's now the one to
ask. By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the
table at The Dripping Blade?
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 LADIES IN
WAITING stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on ARKERS, what are you
afraid of? And avoiding LADIES IN WAITING more than any other team we find ASSASSIN
NATION. ARKERS, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? Well, sports
fans, take notice that FELDSPAR from FIGHTING IRISH was ARKERS' most challenged
warrior this turn.
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? 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. It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your
swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until you see my quill in ARKERS again,
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe
