SPY REPORT
Welcome to the Seam spy report, my darlings! I am going to do something different
this turn. If you will recall, a few turns back, Nomad commented on the high number
of Parry-Strikes we currently have in the arena. It is something you notice from time
to time, but you don't REALLY notice it until someone points it out to you. So, I
have taken notice, and I have dedicated this spy report to Pikers. I'll give you the
regular information, but I'm going to sprinkle in the glorious history of New Seam's
Piker populace over the last 100 turns.
Typically when I do a report such as this I have to shorten it a bit to get everyone
in. Luckily, New Seam is young and Pikers are a bit of an acquired taste for many
managers, so we should not be under such constraints. We will start with the topic of
Duelmaster.
Pollux Lynxear, a Basher, took the throne last turn after a successful bloodfeud
against Dearly Departed, who has definitely departed to the Isle of the Eye after
fighting this turn. Pollux issued a challenge to Mr. Racoon, who just happens to be a
Parry-Strike styled warrior. It was a long fight that made the audience fall in love
with Pollux Lynxear, yet he was defeated by Mr. Racoon, who becomes our new
Duelmaster. Mr. Racoon is only the 4th Parry-Strike to hold the title, and this marks
only the 5th time a Piker has sat on the throne. Our previous champs were:
Maguvial 20-129 (Darque Knights) - turns 23 & 24
Craquelure 20-486 (Pixelbenders) - turn 68
Haig 20-488 (Thirsty Thugs) - turn 79
Congrats to Mr. Racoon who adds his name to that exclusive list. Mr. Racoon is
managed by Huckle Cat. This the 8th throne for Huckle's crew, and as noted, the first
Piker to achieve such honor. Congrats to Mr. Racoon and Huckle Cat!
It is worthy of noting that our current Chartered Recognition Leader and Popularity
Leader is also a Parry-Strike. Last turn, Kagewa was the top-ranked Piker in the
arena, but has been surpassed by Mr. Racoon.
Typically at the Yellow Press, we like to write up the Best and Worst warriors for
each style. This is a regular feature in the Shadowspire publication of our paper.
We are going to add that category to New Seam's publication today, but only for
Pikers. It will be a single list since there have only been 3 Parry-Strike graduates
over the last 101 turns.
1. Craquelure 20-486 of Pixelbenders -- 20-9-1 (68.97%)
2. Maguvial 20-129 of Darque Knights -- 19-12-2 (61.29%)
3. Haig 20-488 of Thirsty Thugs -- 21-29-1 (42.00%)
With 5 active Pikers in the ranks now, there is a good chance this list will change in
the near future. Some managers complain about keeping the style alive in the arena,
but everyone appears to be doing well with them at the moment. Hopefully, I did not
just curse any of you Pikers to an early grave!
To close out our special Piker Report, it is exciting to announce that Parry-Strikes
went 5-0 this turn! How nice! We know Mr. Racoon and Kagewa were victorious from
previous tidbits in this report, you will have the discover the others on your own!
Some closure for those that keep track of such things. The most avoided team for the
turn is Darque Knights. They were most avoided by I'm Not Eggbert. The most
challenged warrior for turn 101 was Odin or Deities and Demigods. Sadly, Odin did not
survive the turn. Condolences to Deep Thought and farewell the rest of you. I will
see you next turn.

PERSONAL ADS
Oh, Lynxear, your revenge was so much more than you realized! On the very turn on
which they announce the Hall of Fame your bloodfeud victory knocked me from the ranks
of the duly famous! Had I won I would have had an 18-7 record and three titles and
have been qualified both ways. Instead I shall fall just short on both accounts!
There is nothing dear about this departing! I was so close! At least I can settle
for immortality. A pitiful second prize perhaps, but nonetheless a prize to be
valued, even for a phantom. I did not even know the glory for which I was fighting.
-- Lord Protector Dearly Departed, the forever non-hall worthy
