TEAM SPOTLIGHT
SPY REPORT
Good afternoon, my darlings! I am so happy to be with you today. I am especially
happy that some of our "absent" managers have returned to us. And, do my eyes deceive
me? We have a new team on the sands as well! We extend a hearty welcome to Pain
Train as they enter the scenic jewel known as Seam! Alright gentlemen, time for us to
get to the arena report, so let's get started.
Dhotho Halfgray has left for the Isle of the Eye after fighting this turn. He is
a 4-time Duelmaster with two separate stints on the throne. For his final fight,
Dhotho faced off against the returning Barnabus Crow of I'm Not Eggbert. While an
entertaining match between the two arena veterans, Dhotho emerged victorious in 2
minutes. Dhotho's victory presented us with the dilemma of selecting a new
Duelmaster. Aery Shine, also of Darque Knights, challenged the highest ranked
Challenger Champion since his teammate was off limits to him on the throne. This bold
move paid off in the end as Aery and Zushi's match became our de facto Title match.
Aery was victorious and takes over the throne from his guildmate. Congrats to Aery
Shine, and she is managed by Master Darque.
The most avoided team for the turn is Deities and Demigods. They were avoided
most by Darque Knights. The most challenged warrior for turn 71 is Snozzle of
Huckle's Cats. Snozzle was perched (do cats perch or does that sound too bird-like?)
at the top of the Champions class last turn, so he caught the eye of many around him.
Black Knight of Marvel got his challenge through to Snozzle. It was a valiant effort,
but Snozzle overcame Black Knight in 1 minute. Kudos to Thor for challenging up 20
points to face Ra-Ra Rainwar. It just crossed my mind that we have already had a Thor
in the arena, who is now a Lord Protector. It must be a popular name with the
managers of Seam. Thor was brave, but bravery isn't always as valuable as experience.
Ra-Ra Rainwar was victorious in a 1 minute match.
There were only 2 deaths this turn, and both of them expected. That is right!
The only deaths to report in the arena for turn 71 occurred in the Dark Arena.
Phantom Regiment and Pixelbenders sent warriors to fight by torchlight. High Elf and
Swine Golem made short work of both. You would think with such low demand,
Arenamaster would give all but one of the Dark Arena warriors time off. But, who am I
to question him? He is the Arenamaster for a reason. You gentlemen know me well
enough to know that I'm not sad when we have so few dead in a turn.
Darque Knights remain the top team with a 3-2-0 this turn. The whole top 5
stayed essentially the same with only the 3rd and 4th place teams switching places.
Their were really no big winners or losers this turn as minimal movement was recorded.
Welcome back to Nomad and Eggbert (or is it Eggbert) who were missing the last few
turns. Once again, I also want to welcome Pain Train. We hope you enjoy our little
arena. Introduce yourself in the personal ads and make yourself at home with us.
Alright, my sweets, it is time for me to go. I have many packages to send
throughout Alastari. My apprentice is off on another errand, so the task falls to me.
I hope to see each of you back next turn. Can Aery hold onto the throne? Is Aery
taking over the throne from Dhotho some new form of nepotism? Do you even know what
nepotism is? Tell me in the personal ads! See you next turn!
