SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in RIZTAB this turn, and let's start
with a look at some of the teams. BLUE NOTE stable has parlayed this turn's 4-1-0
into a 4 space move up the rankings. This brings them up to 2nd place. Good work,
guys! The 4TH TIME AROUND guild has had a 3-0-0 turn and deserves to be watched in
the future. You never know where this kind of thing can lead. And let's see, TATUM
fought SKELETON and gained 17 points and contributed to BLUE NOTE's 4-1-0. COLTRANE
has lost to GRUBSTAKER, falling 13 points, while helping make BLUE NOTE a 4-1-0 turn.
And all eyes were on GUILLOTINE this turn as he ascended to the throne of Duelmaster.
RIZTAB has a new victor! By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night,
cramped under the table at The Dripping Blade?
The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more
could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that. BLUE NOTE has cause to stand tall,
as they were RIZTAB's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to
beat. And guess who avoided BLUE NOTE stable the most? Believe it or not, it was
WHO DA MAN?. Anyone surprised? Well, sports fans, take notice that VAMPYR from THE
UNDEAD was RIZTAB's most challenged warrior this turn. Well now, what do you expect
when someone like WATERBOARD from TORTURED challenges down 21 points to fight GOLDEN
RATIO of WHO DA MAN?? I thought challenges were for warriors, not cowards looking
for easy wins. WATERBOARD subdued GOLDEN RATIO, is nothing sacred?
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. Is it really true that RIZTAB has more dishwashers per capita that
fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
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 RIZTAB and I've a long road
ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until you see my quill in RIZTAB again, farewell--

PERSONAL ADS
It would appear that Drake has not returned. I will go drown my sorrows. -- Jorja
Our congratulations to Ghost, Kane Toad, Skeleton, and Guillotine. Special
congratulations for Guillotine, who popped out of the Dead Tourney as a victor and
straight away graduated before something terminal happened to him again. -- Jorja and
Sweet Magic
One-four, no standbys, and this time, it's Charlene who has the win. For some
reason, everyone feels inclined to write personal personals, so... here goes:
Kane Toad -- I definitely did not need that loss, but what the heck. I will serve up
my best striped ice cream for your going away party. -- Nelli Politana
Specter -- So! You're the one responsible for this "most challenged" nonsense, are
you? If I had MY way, you'd BE a specter. -- Grubstaker, noted sore loser
Filth Pig -- That's disgusting. Ceridwen the Swine Goddess will GET you for leaving
one or her pigs in that muck! -- Phillia Fox
Yoda Man -- Drat, that's the problem with a sugar high. If I don't win the fight
fast enough, it burns out. -- Sugar Baby
P.S. Maybe... more sugar....
Banjo Man -- Can you play that boot-scootin' thing? I feel an urge to dance. --
Charlene
