SPY REPORT
Hello, my darlings! So good to see you once again in the arena and the
surrounding areas! Arena day is about so much more than the fights. I mean, those
are the greatest part of the day, but the whole city is busy every 14 days. It is
glorious and I love everything about it! We have some new developments to look at
this turn, so let's not waste any more of your time with my pleasantries!
Capt. America left us for the Isle, so he was vacating the throne. He did decide
to avenge a feud against Cyanide before leaving us though. It was a long, 4-minute
bout, but our former Duelmaster leaves with another win on his record and a bit of
satisfaction at avenging his fallen teammate. Thor was also leaving us for the Isle,
so you can imagine his surprise when he got a challenge from Nutbolt Larry. This
match became our de facto Title match because Nutbolt Larry won and edge out Graveborn
Paladin for the most recognition points. Congrats to Larry and his manager, who I am
told is NOT Eggbert.
Darque Knights were the most avoided team. They were avoided most by Weirding
Ways. It didn't appear to work out well for either team. Darque Knights had an
abysmal 1-4 turn. The only win they could muster was against Weirding Ways as Castor
Lynxear defeated Wonko the Sane. Weirding Ways fared better, but not by much! They
had a 2-3 turn. The most challenged warrior was Vault of Thirsty Thugs. He was
challenged by Graveborn Paladin and lost in a 2-minute match.
A hearty congrats to Huckle's Cats. They had the best turn in Seam this cycle
with a 5-0-1. Unfortunately, that kill came at the expense of arena veteran Rainerio
from Deadline. The only other kill in the arena occurred when Lila of Thirsty Thugs
fought Zephyr. Losers seem to have a knack for killing as they lead the arena overall
with 30 career kills. Big jumps for Phantom Regiment, who takes over the number 1
spot from 4th place. The other big mover is Huckle's Cats who climbed from 8th to 2nd
place. Great work, gents! Darque Knights bad turn caused them to fall all the way
down to 9th in the rankings.
Time for me to go, my sweets! The grand tournament is dispersing and I have lots
of paperwork to sift through. There is also a planned migration between the AD arenas
coming up. Let me encourage you to give Storm Rock, or AD 107, a shot if you are
looking to be active in Advanced Duel. It is the only no tournament arena in the
upper levels. Storm Rock could always use more participation, but this has been true
of all the regional arenas for many years. I will see you back here in 2 weeks
dearies!

PERSONAL ADS
Yingling Disco -- Sorry to shove it down your throat. -- One Course Meal
Caster Lynxear -- Droped the off hand, not sure if I got a bonus or not. I fought the
same, some numbers changed because of my bad handwriting. -- Cyanire
Void -- At least I got some skills out of that. -- Dead Girl
One Course Meal -- Next time eat alone! -- Dead Girl
Captain Obvious -- I must agree. -- Zepher
Weirdo -- Thanks, yeah that was kinda cool. Not sure I've ever done that in an arena
that had more than two teams. But I'm no dummy, I sent the spy reporter a note to
sweep it under the rug as we know how you get if you're not the featured story :-) --
Hombre
Cyanide -- Nooo! Do you have any idea how hard it is to find warriors that fit this
stupid Marvel theme?? Well, expect a half-hearted retaliatory strike. Dagger: 3-13-
6-17-15-15-15 AB. Used a dagger. Obviously. -- Hombre
All -- Capt. America: 11(+1)-13-13-13-17-5-13 TP. Masters in Rip and Par, Expert in
Def. Got Epee, V-lo / Lo, learned Rip. Was fun to run. Thor on the other hand:
13(+1)-9-10-15-17-12-9 BA. AdEx Ini, Att, and Dec, Ex in Rip. Large Shield, Mod /
Low and learned Rip. Will retire for sure. I'll wait to see the replacements but I'm
a little over this Marvel theme, as it's limiting and honestly I was hoping for at
least a FEW props in the personals. Granted, I didn't have the guts to keep using just
a medium shield with Capt. America, but everyone else stuck to the theme. I even
filled out those census forms for the first time So unless I get some interesting news
from the RUGs, I may be dumping a new team here soon. -- Hombre
Oakleaf -- welcome! -- Marvel (for a short time!)
