SPY REPORT
Welcome to Turn 75 in Seam! Who can believe that we have made it this far with
the re-opening of the arena? It has been a wonderful 75 turns, and I want to
personally thank each of you that fight in our dear arena! Seam is a wonderful city
and this is a nice, remodeled arena, but it you managers and warriors that make it all
worthwhile! Well, most of you, but this is a day for celebration, not pointing out
fashion faux pas. We have our regular spy report today with a little extra sprinkled
in from the Yellow Press archives to give us a look back on these 75 turns in Seam.
*** New Seam Journal Factoid: Thirsty Thugs continue to hold the record for
most Duelmasters at 16. Strikers remain the top style for the top warrior
in Seam with 21 Duelmasters being of the Striking fighting style.
The most avoided team for the turn is Marvel. They were avoided the most by
Thirsty Thugs. The most challenged warrior for the turn was Equalizer of
Pixelbenders. We have already mentioned his fight above as he was challenged by the
departing Duelmaster. It is always worth mentioning various other challenges that go
on in the arena, both up and down. Rasterize reached high this turn by posting a
challenge 20 points up against Aery Shine. Rasterize lost the bout, but certainly
earned a round at the tavern from teammates for moxie.
On the flip side of bravery, we have, as usual, Weirding Ways. Brass Hammer
dipped down 29 points to fight Rainerio. Brass Hammer won and bored us yet again with
a display of pettiness and taking the path of least resistance. I bet his mama is
proud!
*** New Seam Journal Factoid: The most avoided team through 75 turns is
Darque Knights with 12 turns being the most avoided team. The team avoiding
more than any other is I'm Not Eggbert at 19 turns.
I'm Not Eggbert takes over the top spot from Darque Knights, who slipped into
2nd. Weirding Ways stays at 3rd, while Lost Sentinels move up from 7th to take over
4th place. Rounding out the top 5, Marvel moves in to take the spot vacated by the
inactive Pain Train. Losers and Thirsty Thugs tie for the largest gain with a 4 spot
jump, respectively. The biggest loss for the turn belongs to Pixelbenders, who fell
from 2nd to 10th.
*** New Seam Journal Factoid: On turn 8, Thirsty Thugs posted the best 3-
turn record in New Seam's history at 14-1-1.
There is very little to report in the death department, so we will throw both
death and immortality into this section for turn 75! By way of death, Losers add
another notch on their scabbard and continue to lead the arena with 25 kills. Cyanide
killed Tough Mama in a 2 minute fight. She may have oversold just how tough she was
when applying for the job. In the immortality section, we bid farewell to Ra-Ra
Rainwar. She became Seam's 34th graduate and its 3rd Parry Lunge.
*** New Seam Journal Factoid (Death): The Losers guild leads in arena
kills, but they also lead the arena in deaths. They have lost a total of 65
warriors through 75 turns, most of which have come via the Dark Arena.
*** New Seam Journal Factoid (Immortality): Ra-Ra Rainwar is part of the
Darque Knights guild, who hold the current record for most graduates from
Seam. She was the 6th graduate, as well as the 6th style from the guild.
Thirsty Thugs and I'm Not Eggbert are close with 5 graduates.
It is time for me to vamoose, my dears! The sun is shining and this beautiful
weather is once again calling for me to enjoy it. I hope to see each of you back next
turn. Our Duelmaster has the rare opportunity of defending the throne. Can Zushi
hold out against a formidable collection of Challenger Champions? Come back and find
out!
-- Sidara Brightbell
Graduation Watch -- I will begin posting a new section called Graduation Watch. As
the spy reporter for Seam, I like to keep track of those that have caught the
Commission's attention and are under consideration for being invited to the Isle. I
only view their progress from the social side, whether they are skilled enough to be
invited, only the Commission and a warrior's manager know for sure. I'll only list
those ranked Challenger Champions or the Duelmaster to avoid clutter.
1. Aery Shine
2. Zushi
3. Equalizer
4. Gambit
5. Mona Lisa
Assuming Zushi keeps the throne, he and Aery Shine have a real possibility of
graduating in 2 turns. This premise rests on the fact that both warriors live for the
next two turns. Equalizer and Gambit have a few turns under their belts as Challenger
Champions, while Mona is new to the party. A new Duelmaster or a death could do much
to shake up these rankings! We'll look again next turn. -- SB
