SPY REPORT
Good afternoon, my darlings! Good to see you once again in the City of Tremors,
where there is always something shaking! The weather has been delightful this week as
cooler temperatures have come into the city, making my morning walks a thing to be
desired! The gentle breezes have also done wonders for my hair! I wish it could
remain like this for the whole year. I wonder if I have a spell for that? I'll have
to look into that later. You came here to hear about Seam's arena action! Let's take
a look!
Opacity: 100% was our reigning champion and had the opportunity to defend the
Duelmaster's throne against anyone brave enough to challenge him. Well, no one
challenged him and Opacity did not post a challenge. The Title fight came down to a
random match up between our Duelmaster Opacity and the newly minted Lord Protector
Hahari Hel. Considering the style match up, no one is surprised by the outcome and
Opacity: 100% remains the Duelmaster of Seam. Congrats to Opacity, who is managed by
Mixelplick.
There were four deaths this turn, but only one that bears mentioning more than a
few lines. Uther Pendragon matched up with Iris of Losers. They appeared evenly
matched with experience with Iris having a few more under her belt. What stood out to
the bookies were Iris's two kills. Even then, the odds appeared to be about even
across the betting boards. We were all a bit shocked when the fight ended with Uther
Pendragon's death. Iris now has her 3rd kill and is looking at a few turns of Deities
and Demigods seeking vengeance.
The most avoided team for turn 61 is Pixelbenders. They were avoided the most by
Phantom Regiment. The most challenged warrior for the turn was Dhotho Halfgray of
Darque Knights. Casper of Phantom Regiment was able to face Dhotho on the sands. It
was an exciting match that lasted 3 minutes. When the dust settled, Casper was
victorious and picked up 9 recognition points for his efforts. The gutsiest challenge
of the turn also goes to a member of Phantom Regiment. Stay Puft challenged up 25
points to face Merciless. It was a good challenge as Stay Puft was victorious. The
gutless challenge of the turn goes to Angelique of Weirding Ways as they continue
their down challenging ways. Angelique fought Yaotl of Deadline, who was 22 points
below her. In an outcome that surprised no one, Angelique was victorious.
Weirding Ways took over the top spot after the former top team, Darque Knights,
coughed up a winless 0-5 turn. Phantom Regiment and Pixelbenders move up to 2nd and
3rd place, respectively. An inactive I'm Not Eggbert remains in 4th, and Deities and
Demigods fall to 5th from 3rd. Pixelbenders had the biggest gain for the turn moving
up 6 places to 3rd. Darque Knights, with their 0-5 turn, had the largest drop going
from 1st to 8th.
That is all that I have to report, my sweets! Join us on turn 62 for more
exciting action in Seam. Enjoy a spa treatment in between turns and relax those
aching muscles. The recommendation is more for the gladiators than the managers, but
there is nothing stopping you from taking a few days to relax and unwind. Opacity
gets another opportunity to defend the throne. Can he hold it for a 3rd time? Come
back next turn and find out!

All -- For those interested in such things, Hahari Hel was 11-9-13-21-15-4-11 LU. She
was -1 ATT and mode in every other skill that I can determine. According to the
Commission, her favorites are HI/VH, SS, and she learns Riposte. Despite the attack
deficiency, she was a fun warrior that learned well (2.70 spf). She is our 4th
graduate overall from this team and our first Lunger. She is off to 107 and
retirement. -- Master Darque, mgr. Darque Knights
