TEAM SPOTLIGHT
Greetings to all the managers and gladiators of New Seam! It is time for another New
Seam Journal report about our lovely arena and her wonderful warriors! It has been
quite a few turns since our last report, which dealt with the topic of death. Today's
turn is the final of the year, so I thought it would be a great time to look at our
Lord Protectors. Recognition for the warriors and their managers who have fought
their way to immortality on the Isle of the Eye in defense of Alastari against the
forces of chaos!
Here is how it works with the "BEST OF . . ." categories for our report. The rankings
are based ONLY on win/loss record when a warrior receives an invitation to the Isle.
In case of ties, kills are considered for a tie-breaker. If kills are tied, the first
warrior to achieve Lord Protector status is given the honor.
I hope you enjoy!

SPY REPORT
Greetings, Warriors of SEAM. Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to give
you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport. Nothing is certain in
SEAM, with changing loyalties, changing Duelmasters. Write this down: new top
team--PHANTOM REGIMENT. Nothing works for a team like victory (How's that for a
perceptive observation?) as PIXELBENDERS can attest... Good things come to those who
fight well, as HUCKLE'S CATS can attest, moving up by 1. Like a new team fighting
for the first time and entering the official rankings, BIG LAKE NAMES got 5-0-3 to
come in 8th. HUCKLE'S CATS had cause to celebrate, after SAWDUST got 46 points by
beating POLLUX LYNXEAR. A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and
practice more, after losing 15 points to DUMBO. (Discrete enough, VOX SUNFIRE?) The
arena was more crowded than usual this time, as RAMIREZ faced SEAM's Duelmaster. Now
I can't insult RAMIREZ, as he has gloriously dueled to the top. Oh great new
Duelmaster!!! (Stop me if I lay it on too thick) Word has it one team in SEAM is
taking speech lessons to try to bore their opponent to death. I'll bet it works.
And how sociable are SEAM's warriors? Come, let us see. Like the noble eagle
soaring amongst the mountaintops, so stand the warriors of DARQUE KNIGHTS, alone and
unchallenged. Like a pup with its tail between its legs, I'M NOT EGGBERT scurried
away from DARQUE KNIGHTS. Oh, the shame! Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes,
and CLOUDZILLA is it right now. Most challenged warrior. Isn't I'M NOT EGGBERT
proud! HARUSHU found himself challenged by a warrior 22 below: VIKTORIA. VIKTORIA
of OAKLEAF kept hers wits as she was subdued by HARUSHU.
Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.
You've heard about GNAT of LOST SENTINELS. Death plays no favorites, and neither do
I. What was a 5-8-1 doing on the fields in the first place? SAWDUST of HUCKLE'S
CATS spared POLLUX LYNXEAR (21-22-2) from having to lose any more fights. What's
your next plan, DARQUE KNIGHTS? Ask not for whom the sword slashes; it slashes for
thee.
Do not think spyreporting in SEAM is the highlight of my life. As the seasons
change, and the creatures of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave
this place. Can anything compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for SEAM? On
that giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir
