SPY REPORT
Good afternoon, my darlings! The heatwave has finally broken in Seam, but the
action was still scorching hot on the sands! It was such a beautiful day in the
arena. I hope you brought the family out for a day filled with contests of strength,
skill, and the occasional blunt force trauma! Enough about the good times to be had
by all, let's talk about turn 55's action.
Stay Puft was able to wrestle the throne away from Rayner last turn. Turn 55
would be Stay Puft's first opportunity to defend the title. Would he challenge one of
the up-and-coming Challenger Champions? Would he be challenged from that same pool of
warriors? Luckily, you do not have to wait to find out! This cycle's title match was
a random match up, but it was a rematch of last turn's battle! Stay Puft fought
Rayner once again. Different turn, but the same outcome as Stay Puft stays the
Duelmaster. Rayner gets the consolation prize of immortality as he heads off to the
Isle of the Eye. Congrats to Stay Puft, who is managed by Nomad.
The most avoided team for the turn is Thirsty Thugs. This appears to be a turn
of repeats as Weirding Ways once again finds themselves as the team avoiding others
the most. The most challenged warrior for the turn was Zushi of Lost Sentinels.
Zushi was challenged by Barnabas Crow of I'm Not Eggbert. The match was short and
one-sided as Barnabas Crow emerged victorious. Karma made the gutsiest challenge in
terms of recognition for turn 55. He challenged Hahari Hel, who was 28 points higher
and last turn's Charter Recognition Leader. When the dust settled, bravery was not
enough as Hahari Hel was victorious.
Only one death marred our beautiful sand this cycle. H. Gigglebeans challenged
Iris of Losers. It was a gruesome 3 minute fight and there was little to laugh about
afterwards when Iris slew H. Gigglebeans. Thirsty Thugs allowed 2 bloodfeuds to
expire without proper vengeance. Did DMobster just forgive and forget? How very
Andorian of him, if that is the case. Phantom Regiment remains the top team even
after a 2-3 turn, which just goes to show how good their previous turns have been. We
welcome back I'm Not Eggbert and Pixelbenders, who missed last turn. Pixelbenders had
the biggest gain for the turn, moving up 4 spots to 6th. There were not any huge
drops, but Thirsty Thugs fell by 2 giving them the distinction of having the turn's
biggest slip.
I want to take a moment to congratulate Lord Protector Rayner. LP Rayner gets the
joyous distinction of being the FIRST Parry Riposte to graduate from no-tourney Seam!
He didn't quite make last turn's New Seam Journal report, but he will certainly be in
the next one. I also want to congratulate Pucker & Bloat, this turn's newest
graduate. He is Seam's 5th Striker graduate, but appears to be Pixelbenders' first
from this arena!
I must be going, my darlings. Enjoy this wonderful weather and I will look
forward to seeing you next turn. Can Stay Puft stay put on the throne? Will Eggbert
seek revenge for H. Gigglebean's death? Where did the Arenamaster buy those new boots?
We will hopefully answer these important questions next turn!

cruise by, but they tell me it's up and open. -- Jorja
