TEAM SPOTLIGHT
"Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm."
-- Winston Churchill
Hammer was gone, but Frettyah continued her training, as though she had not lost
a fight and was on a winning streak, rather than the losing streak she was currently
suffering. She had heard the various comments and derogatory remarks about her worth,
but in spite of her mounting losses, she was more enthusiastic than ever to continue
fighting in Seam Arena.
Meanwhile, at the Tongues Of Fire Resort, notices were being circulated that
Hammer was entering the Stormcrowe Slaughterhouse Five contest, hosted by Master
Darque. Early reports noted that DM 45 was another Ghost Arena, much like DM 20, in
that a few guilds and their managers were negligent in posting any Team Spotlights or
Personal Ads.
Knowing that they were safe from being sent to the Dark Arena, plus assured that
their guild would not be disbanded and become inactive during the DM 45 contest, the
members of the Ah Tongues Of Fire guild began handing out handbills, before their next
Seam Arena sand dance.
The printed page merely stated the following challenge:
"Hammer invites any and all managers to grab a partner and join in the 10
Round Festivities of the Stormcrowe Slaughter House Five contest in DM 45
being hosted by Master Darque."
SPY REPORT
Hello, my sweets! My spy report may be missing some sections here and there
because of faulty equipment. I am once again in Snowbound, watching the fights via
scrying pool. It is a simple spell, so no problems. I am now having issues with the
golems and sending messages back to the print offices in Seam. Hopefully, this
communique will make it through without incident. The golems seem to be communicating
well at the present time, so let's get this report through without delay.
Tsk, tsk, tsk! Melanroh seizes the throne and looks strong after killing last
turn's opponent only to lose it all due to inactivity! What a shame! The whole team
was inactive, so the blame may not be Melanroh's to shoulder alone. What happened to
the Philanthrolords? Aragorn? Anyone? In Melanroh's absence, Harry Hyena's random
match up with Rayner became a title fight. It took 8 minutes, but Harry Hyena came
out on top and takes over the throne! Congrats to Harry Hyena, the Huckle's Cats
guild, and Huckle Cat, who manages the feline bunch!
Thirsty Thugs, the career top team in Seam, is the most feared guild this turn.
We find Losers running away from them the most. The top career team avoided by the
lowest career team. Hmm, doesn't seem like a particularly surprising bit of news.
But, the other spy reporters share it and make a big hoopla about it, so who am I to
complain. I'm the new kid in the spy reporting game! The most challenged warrior
this turn, which I find much more interesting, was Equalizer of Pixelbenders. The
challenges did not mean much as Equalizer posted his own challenge against
Ahshondalai, a fight he won. Only 2 challenges made it through this time, which seems
odd. The Commission assures me other challenges were made, but with the absence of two
prominent teams (Philanthrolords and I'm Not Eggbert), weirdness was sure to occur.
A single death on the regular sands marred what was almost a perfect turn. Yes,
before anyone asks, I am a Seamite, proudly so. And no, before anyone mistakenly makes
the assumption, Seam is not part of the Delarquan Federation. There are some
Commission documents floating around with erroneous notations. We sit proudly within
the confines of the Aruaki Clanhold and as a member of the Andorian League. Stero
Banewood, a member of the Darque Knights, killed a once Happy Peasant. If not for
that sordid affair, we would have made it through without a single death. No death
turns are such a rare feat, they are worth noting (and celebrating) when they occur.
Pixelbenders take the top spot from Huckle's Cats. Huckle's Cats slipped to 2nd,
but they took over the throne, so I doubt they will complain too much. Ah Tongues of
Fire and Losers also make a debut into the top 5, taking over 4th and 5th
respectively. The only team in the top 5 that did not move, Thirsty Thugs, sits
comfortably at number 3. The biggest gain for the turn belongs to Losers, who jumped
4 places, while the biggest loss goes to the inactive Philanthrolords, who dropped 3
spots.
The golems are acting funny again, my pretties, so it is time for me to wrap up
this report. I hope all of you are well during the opening weeks of this New Year.
Belated well-wishes to each of you! I hope to see some personal ads next turn from
more people, other than Hammer. Perhaps I will send pigeons to remind a few of you to
be more vocal in the coming turns.
