TEAM SPOTLIGHT
"Attitude is a little thing that makes a BIG difference." -- Winston Churchill
Frettyah had finally scored a win against 4 straight losses by besting Void of
Lost Sentinels in a 3 minute amateur's bout. [Hammer is still in the Philippines in
Real Life, so I am unable to make any further comments regarding the fight, because I
am still out of the Country and do not have access to the written fight results!]
Now it was time for Frettyah to renew her determination to develop a Winning
Record in Seam Arena and find a way to become the first Duelmaster from the Ah Tongues
Of Fire guild.
Some of the Patrons at the Tongues Of Fire Resort were betting heavily against
such a possibility, while others were placing their gold coins on wagers that Frettyah
would indeed be the first of her guild to ascend to the Seam Arena throne.
She was no longer ranked last among the members of her guild, as she had gained
enough Recognition Points to leap over the newcomers K & R by 3 points each and was
one point behind Ahshondai, while trailing the leader Ahshondalai by 12 points in the
Initiates Rankings.
It would be a mistake to think too far ahead, so Frettyah set herself to the task
of preparing herself mentally and rigorously training for her next matchup in the
upcoming Turn-42 battle on the sands. Hopefully, she would learn more skills that
would prepare her for the possibility of rising higher in the rankings than her guild
mates, especially while Ah Tongues Of Fire was still classed as the Top Unchartered
Team in Seam Arena.
Ahshondalai seemed to have a target painted on her back and Frettyah was certain
that she could pass Ahshondai in the rankings soon enough, as long as she was able to
keep winning!
SPY REPORT
Hello, my pretties! It is I, Sidara Brightbell, good witch and spy reporter.
But, you already knew that didn't you, my sweets? Huard DePriest, one of the floating
spy reporters for the SYP, told me that I needed to liven up my opening a bit. He
suggested self-promotion by stating the obvious. He's a narcissist, so it must work
wonders for him, but I'm not a fan of it. I prefer the sweet approach. Oh well, back
to the drawing board, but until then, let's talk about this turn's fights!
When we signed off from the games last cycle, Harry Hyena had taken over the
throne on recognition points after the previous Duelmaster skipped town (and is still
M.I.A.). This turn, Harry was challenged by Prof. Monkeynutpants, or whatever his
name is this week. Harry stood strong in the face of this challenge and won in 4
minutes. Harry also got his invite this turn, making it a cycle full of good news for
Huckle Cat and his squad! This means the throne will be up for grabs next turn. Will
Harry Hyena leave Seam with a victory, or will a Challenger Champion lay claim by
force? You have to be here next turn to find out!
The most avoided team for the turn was Darque Knights, which is amusing since
they went 1-4 and sent 2 warriors to the Dark Arena. Avoiding them the most, we find
I'm Not Eggbert beating feet. The most challenged warrior is an honor that belongs to
Ahshondalai. Is it really an honor that you are the most sought after warrior that
people want to beat upon? Eh, I'm sure there is someone out there that likes such
attention. To each her own, I suppose.
Pixelbenders remain the top team over the last 3 turns and with the same 11-4-0
record. Huckle's Cats keeps the 2nd spot, and the Losers are sitting tight at 5th.
The newcomers to the top 5 are I'm Not Eggbert, who jump into 3rd with a 4-1 effort.
Also, we see Lost Sentinels move to 4th after a 3-2-1 turn. Lost Sentinels 5 spot
jump was the largest of the turn. The biggest drop belongs to Ah Tongues of Fire, who
fell 5 spots to 9th. A hearty welcome to the new team, Devil Dinosaurs! Welcome to
the arena and I hope your stay is long and prosperous! Introduce yourself and make
yourself at home.
A few deaths in the arena, but no veterans gave up the ghost this turn. Frettyah
has lost her last fight in Seam. The 1-4 warrior matched up with Bad Penny, a fitting
name, seeing as she killed Frettyah in a 2 minute match. The other death happened to
our newest team, Devil Dinosaurs. Trigon Tri-horn matched up with Stone of Losers.
It was a short fight, like many rookie bouts, and ended in Trigon's death. I look
forward to acts of revenge and honor next turn! Speaking of which, Hastur
successfully bloodfeuded Ahshondalai for the death of his teammate Baldur.
It is time for me to depart, my sweets! I have to find a suitable launderer for
my dresses. While I can maneuver through cocktail parties, dingy gladiator barracks,
and meetings with ink-stained Commission officials and SYP editors without so much as
a speck of dirt getting on me, my porters appear to be incapable of transporting my
luggage without making a mess of things. My things, in particular. So, I am off! I
hope to see each of you here next cycle! Adieu, my darlings!
