SPY REPORT
Hello, my pretties! Welcome to turn 76 in the glorious city of Seam! The ground
and the sky rumbled for many hours last night, but today has turned into a beautiful
backdrop to our action in the arena. I do love the refreshing rain, but I can do
without the thunderstorms that rolled through our area last night. I need my beauty
sleep! As for the ground rumbling, it is a part of life living in this city. You get
used to the earthquakes. Let's take a look at the worthy news for turn 76!
The throne was taken last turn by Zushi, who had the most recognition points
after our previous Duelmaster left for the Isle. This was Zushi's first turn of
defense, and we will just say that it did not go well. Aery Shine of Darque Knights
challenged Zushi for the most comfortable seat in the arena. According to the golems,
AERY SHINE overcame ZUSHI in a 1 minute veteran's Challenge Title match. Congrats to
Aery, who takes the throne and receives an invitation to the Isle. She is Darque
Knights 7th graduate and the guild's first Wall of Steel Lord Protector.
The most avoided team for the turn is Weirding Ways, who addressed the arena but
didn't bother to show up and fight. It looks like Eggbert and his guild, I'm Not
Eggbert, wasted those avoids. The most challenged warrior for the turn is Bahamut of
Deities and Demigods.
RASTERIZE (20-565) (14-8-0,73) of PIXELBENDERS challenged BAHAMUT (20-585) (12-7-0,90)
of DIETIES AND DEMIGODS.
RASTERIZE was vanquished by BAHAMUT in a popular 1 minute mismatched Challenge brawl.
It was a bold challenge for sure, but Bahamut remains in the Challenger Champions
and the arena's top ranked Striker. Rasterize had a small dip in the rankings, but
remains in the Champions class.
There were no deaths this turn, which is a great delight to me. Is it really
necessary to kill in the arena? We are training to fight creatures of chaos, and we
need every able-bodied man and woman to do this task! This is why I will stick to spy
reporting and never manage a guild. I do not have the heart to send anyone to the
Dark Arena, and the grief over one in my care dying would be too much to bear.
Luckily, we do not have a shortage of men and women who do not have my sensitivities.
Marvel takes over the top spot after a spectacular 5-0 turn! Darque Knights
remains in 2nd after a nice 4-1 effort. Losers jump up to 3rd from 6th, still
sporting 2 kills on their record. If they move in to challenge Marvel and Darque
Knights, those 2 kills will be important as tie breakers. The former top team, I'm
Not Eggbert, falls to 4th place, while Lost Sentinels slide into 5th. The biggest
gain for the turn belongs to Marvel and Deadline, both rising 4 ranks. The biggest
loss for turn 76 goes to I'm Not Eggbert and a 3 spot drop.
Time for me to go, my darlings! I have nothing of relevance left to do this day,
so I will be roaming the corridors of the arena and eventually make my way out to the
vendors. You never know what you will find on any given day! It is a combination of
two of my favorite things -- shopping and mystery! Join us next time, my sweets, and
we will see who lives, who dies, and who makes it to immortality and fame!
-- Sidara Brightbell
GRADUATION WATCH
I know last turn I said that I would only include Challenger Champions and above in
the list, but I am going to alter that rule a bit. I am going to list the top 10 (if
indeed there are 10 with political points). I have changed this because Barnabus Crow
was ranked as a Champion last turn, yet he should have been the top warrior on our
list. I am also going to list the political points. Coupled with arena record, we
can estimate when a particular warrior will be invited to the Isle of the Eye. Skill
ratings are vital as well, but we are not privy to such information, only managers and
the Commission know of such mysteries.
1. Aery Shine -- 18 pts.
2. Barnabus Crow -- 15 pts.
3. Zushi -- 11 pts.
4. Equalizer -- 8 pts.
5. Gambit -- 6 pts.
6. Bahamut -- 6 pts.
7. Mona Lisa -- 4 pts.
8. Black Knight -- 4 pts.
I'll continue to make adjustments until we have a useful, informative list. Enjoy!
