SPY REPORT Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in MALCORN this turn, and let's start with a look at some of the teams. It seems the training can make the difference, as VC RULES is pushed out of top team by RAINBOW CONNECTION, who came from 3rd with a 3-2-0 this turn. The DARK CREATION guild has had a 4-1-1 turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You never know where this kind of thing can lead. And let's see, GOLDEN DREAM fought MASTER DARQUE and gained 19 points and contributed to WRETCHED HORDE's 1-0-0. MASTER DARQUE has lost to GOLDEN DREAM, falling 16 points, while helping make VC RULES a 2-2-0 turn. The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and STARIEL remains MALCORN's top warrior for another turn. Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Victory Tavern until they win. Maybe? Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' Inscrutable, but true. I also notice that the STARBASE 5 stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on MALCORN, what are you afraid of? And guess who avoided STARBASE 5 stable the most? Believe it or not, it was VC RULES. Anyone surprised? 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. Well, I'm burning daylight here in MALCORN and I've a long road ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the Scribe DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME STARIEL 4963 18 14 1 118 DARK CREATION (471) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ROCKWOOD 4984 18 8 0 116 GREENWARDENS (244) QRYSYS 4958 21 12 2 105 DARK CREATION (471) CYBERMANCER 4992 11 10 0 94 DARK CREATION (471) REXROTH 4957 21 12 0 92 DARK CREATION (471) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME AGATE 4951 18 19 0 87 GREENWARDENS (244) APOK 4964 18 12 0 81 STARBASE 5 (263) STARLYN FYREFLY 4983 11 14 0 81 STARBASE 5 (263) BRISTLECONE 4952 20 17 1 78 GREENWARDENS (244) STONEBOW 4993 10 10 0 72 GREENWARDENS (244) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MISTRESS 4996 9 8 0 60 STARBASE 5 (263) MAXIMILLIAN 5011 7 3 1 57 VC RULES (501) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME FIZBAN 5013 6 4 1 53 VC RULES (501) GOLDEN DREAM 4977 3 0 0 53 WRETCHED HORDE (499) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SILVERBIRD 4994 12 8 0 47 GREENWARDENS (244) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME STREET LEGAL 5012 6 4 0 33 VC RULES (501) MASTER DARQUE 5015 5 5 0 32 VC RULES (501) -HAMMER 5014 4 3 1 27 VC RULES (501) QREATED 4999 5 3 2 26 DARK CREATION (471) CARTMAN 5025 3 0 0 25 RAINBOW CONNECTION (503) JIM 5021 3 0 0 24 RAINBOW CONNECTION (503) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME KERMIT 5022 2 1 0 17 RAINBOW CONNECTION (503) -KHAMUL 4033 1 5 0 8 THE BLACK RIDERS (391) -NEMO 4648 1 1 0 4 DOWN WITH THE SHIP (468) -AKHORAHIL 4031 0 1 0 4 THE BLACK RIDERS (391) -ADUNAPHEL 4032 0 4 0 4 THE BLACK RIDERS (391) STEVE 5027 0 1 0 1 RAINBOW CONNECTION (503) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
