SPY REPORT
Hello, my pretties! It is a beautiful day in Seam and great weather for our dear
games. Dare I say, it is the nicest day we have had this year. The games go on in
rain, shine, snow, or other natural disasters, particularly earthquakes in our fair
city, but it is nice to enjoy the weather and the fights. I hope this day finds each
of you well, even Weirdo and his weird self. Let's take a look at turn 73's exciting
action.
The title changed hands last turn, and Barnabus Crow stood victorious. Today was
his first opportunity to defend his new championship. He showed guts as he posted a
challenge to our newly minted Lord Protector, Snozzle. Guts are grand, but they are
rarely a good replacement for discernment. LP Snozzle defeated Barnabus Crow and left
the throne open for the warrior with the highest recognition. Ra-Ra Rainwar takes the
throne through indirect means. She did win her bout against a Rowdy Dwarf, so that is
something. She becomes the 12th Duelmaster for the Darque Knights stable, as well as
their first Parry Lunge on Seam's throne. She is managed by Master Darque.
The most avoided team for turn 73 is... I always anticipate a drum roll here.
The most avoided team is Weirding Ways. Build up a reputation for down challenging
and people will avoid you. The team avoiding them the most is I'm Not Eggbert. The
most challenged warrior for this turn is Valeria. Burial Rites got the opportunity,
but it was not the opportunity he had hoped for as Valeria defeated him in a short
one-sided match. Better luck next time! Since we are talking about challenges, I'll
take the time to mention Master Darque's dastardly down challenge. Warriors fight on
the sands, but managers make the challenge and avoid decisions, hence me calling out
Darque rather than Aery Shine. Aery went down 26 points to fight Zushi. To no one's
surprise, Aery was victorious. An honorless victory, but such insults do little to
dissuade those without honor. Shame!
There were no deaths this turn, which is always a glorious celebration in my
book. There was a bloodfeud to settle up accounts from last turn. Cpt. Guppy got
flushed down the drain by Invert last turn. Another captain decided to step forward
and seek revenge and honor for his fallen comrade. Cpt. Clean feuded Invert and
emerged victorious! Honor restored, though Cpt. Guppy remains very much dead.
The devious Darque Knights remain our precious arena's top team. Pixelbenders
move up into 2nd place with Huckle's Cats making a 4 point rise to finish at 3rd.
Pain Train seems to have returned to their first turn standard of winning and climb
into 4th. Rounding out the top 5, we find Weirding Ways. The largest gain for the
turn belongs to I'm Not Eggbert. Despite losing the throne, they managed a 3-1-0 turn
to move up the ranks. The biggest drop goes to both Deadline and Marvel. Each team
fell by 5 in the 3 turn rankings. Perhaps Tolbin and Hombre are experimenting with
their warriors. A little innovation, while slow and painful at times, can have large
returns in the future... or so I'm told. I'm more of a spend it now and spend it
often type of girl!
Time for me to call it a day, my sweets! I have no plans except to enjoy this
beautiful weather and perhaps plant a flower or two. I will be doing so magically, of
course. The thought of getting my hands dirty, or gods forbid, dirt under my nails,
causes me all sorts of anxiety. Til next time, my darlings!

SNOZZLE (20-460) HUCKLE'S CATS (23)
NAME CHANGE-O-RAMA
Algernon, who had NOT gotten the name change he'd asked for, looked at the latest
petitioner. This was a typical gladiator, big, muscular, and scarred, with a frown.
"Ah, what can I do for you?"
"Name change. I heard we can do that. I'm tired of being Jane Doe."
"I'd think you would be," Algernon said faintly. "The Commission has actually
been thinking about this. It isn't FREE, mind you! It takes money to run our office,
you know, and we want to buy some goats--"
"I don't care about goats!" He made a crude suggestion about goats.
"Gladiators, teams, it will cost you two dollars to make a change--"
"I had a talk with my manager. He'll find the money. I want to change my name
to Jane Ralph. I'm no doe!" He thumped a fist on the counter.
"Er, yes. Jane Ralph. Fill out this form, please." He pushed the paper across
the counter. "The changes start on the 15th of April--that's the Ides, you know, and
can be submitted through the end of May. With the payment. No change without the
goat, ah, the gold."
* * * * *
Warrior and team name changes will be accepted beginning April 15 and continuing
throughout the month of May. The cost will be $2 per name change. All proceeds will
be used to buy goats via Heifer International and will be matched up to $500.
If you have names you want to change, please contact Customer Service. -- RSI
