SPY REPORT

Hello, my darlings! Welcome back to our little piece of Paradise here in the
grand arena of Seam! As a resort town, we spare no expense when it comes to the
grandeur of our games! Sure, you can see gladiator battles in other arenas, but you
will NEVER see the spectacle that is a Seam fight! Ah, what a wonderful build-up for
today's arena news! Let's get to it, shall we?

The arena has been changing hands, or the crown has been changing heads,
whichever imagery you prefer, frequently as of late! Last turn, Thor took the throne
from Dwimorberg, who had previously taken it from the departing Hastur. This brings
us to turn 86! Thor had an opportunity to defend the title against Zushi. Zushi has
been Duelmaster before (back on turn 75), so he knows the skill and hard work it takes
to reach such heights. It looks as if Zushi had both the skill and work ethic to take
the throne once again as he defeats Thor in a 1-minute fight. Though rare, Zushi
isn't the first warrior to take the throne, lose it, and then regain it again. We
have had a few do it in the past, and unless I am mistaken, all of them are now Lord
Protectors. No pressure, Zushi, but please do not be the one that ruins the streak!

The most avoided team for the turn is I'm Not Eggbert. They were avoided most by
Phantom Regiment. The most challenged warrior for the turn was Gyaviira. She is the
arena's top-ranked Slasher and was challenged by Cpt. Clean from the I'm Not Eggbert
guild. It was a quick one with Gyaviira emerging as the victor! We'll take the time
her to congratulate Piwi Steelmoon on her invitation to the Isle. She is now a Lady
Protector and immortal defender of Alastari. She joins our already impressive
collection of immortals from Seam!

There was only one death in the arena this turn, and it was expected. Fred,
whose 0-10 shows Huckle Cat's great patience with warriors, was sent to the Dark
Arena. Fred did not disappoint and finishes his Seam career at 0-11 after a bout with
Spymaster. Death was sparse, but revenge was the currency of the turn as bloodfeuds
abounded! Darque Knights avenged the death of Nguleo Dusk from last turn, but have
yet to do anything to Zushi for killing Asdiel Wyrmeye on turn 84. Pestilence beat
Void to bring honor back to the Losers guild for the slaying of Enigma. Phantom
Regiment got to Pollux Lynxear this turn as well, with Dwimorberg delivering the
guild's justice to the killer. And last of all, Parental Deceit got revenge for
Weirding Ways upon Juno of Lost Sentinels.

There was a few changes in the team rankings, but the top 2 of Marvel and Phantom
Regiment did not move. Weirding Ways worked their way up to 3rd with a 4-1 turn.
Their single loss came in the only fight that was evenly matched ::cough:: did I just
write that?!? Thirsty Thugs and Lost Sentinels keep their spots at 4th and 5th,
respectively. The biggest gain for the turn was Weirding Ways jump of 3, while the
biggest loss was Darque Knights and their drop of 3. I like symmetry!

Time for me to fly, my sweets! 'Tis the season of festivals, special moons, and
arcane anomalies, so my schedule is packed! I will see you in 2 weeks for turn 87.
Zushi must defend the throne against a formidable group of Challenger Champions.
There are still many bloodfeud opportunities open, so will we see a repeat of this
turn's carnage? Join us next time to find out!

PERSONAL ADS

Taskmaster -- I learned a lot from that fight. This is a game of adjustments and
adjustments will be made. So if I challenge you again it won't be out of malice,
though if you were to keel over dead, it would make my manager very happy. -- Wonko the Sane

Dead Girl -- They call me Mellow Yellow... -- Yellow Snowman

Yog-Sothoth -- What's the matter? You-Softeth? -- Captain Obvious

Eggbert -- You do exist! I thought you were like the tooth fairy or the boogie man.
Especially since your team denies your existence! -- Weirdo

All -- Drop Dead Fred ST 15-9-16-17-9-7-11 He got hosed with Very Little Endurance and
does Good Damage. -- Weirdo

Dwimorberg -- I'll be waiting for the feud now. If you haven't figured it out, all of
Darque's plans went off the rails last turn. I was to foil your feud attempts so that
Piwi could get a challenge through to you for the throne. It MIGHT have worked if it
wasn't for that meddling Thor! -- Pollux Lynxear

Thor -- Phbbt! -- Piwi Steelmoon

All -- I'm writing an awful lot of obituaries lately. Nguleo Dusk was a 21-16-10-5-
15-6-11 PS. Appeared to be +RIP, but nothing else that I could see on the overview.
He was going to be a long-term project for Freshmen. Starting off 4-0 was nice too!
It was going to be a long road, but I have to design what the RUGs send me. -- Master
Darque
