SPY REPORT
Welcome back to New Seam, my darlings! The stands are still mostly empty, but I see
Arenamaster has placed some wooden cutouts in the upper sections of the arena along
with strawmen in a few of the lower sections. I appreciate his efforts, but it is the
roar of the crowd, not necessarily the sight of them that gets the blood pumping in
our wonderful games! The games have continued uninterrupted, so I cannot complain!
Let's see what happened in this cycle's fights.
Torquil remains top in the arena, and I have to say I am impressed with our
Duelmaster! Many champions in today's games are the product of tournament training
mixed with strategic activity in the arena. While there may be many strategies (and
changes) involved, Torquil has been on top with a consistency we have not seen in a
long time! This turn, our fearless Duelmaster received a bloodfeud challenge from
Parental Deceit. This was the second attempt Weirding Ways has made to avenge the
fall of Rick Roller on turn 134. Alas, poor Rick is still unavenged? Non-revenged?
Rick Rolling in his grave? I'm not sure at this point, but Torquil remains
Duelmaster!
The most avoided team this turn is Weirding Ways, yet again. They were mostly avoided
by Vendetta. The most challenged warrior award (well, it really isn't an award as
much as a distinction that few want) goes to Codex of Lost Sentinels. From the Left's
warrior, Antifa, challenged down a mere 21 points to defeat Codex. I'll refrain from
political commentary because frankly, that isn't why we come to these games! I will
however completely call out down challenges in an Andorian arena! Shame on most of
you!
We are without a top team as Phantom Regiment and From the Left sit at 10-5-0.
Phantom Regiment has been consistently at the top the last few turns, but From the
Left shot up the rankings from the 7 spot. Darque Knights also move once again into
the top 5 and sit in 3rd place with an 8-7-1 record. They are tied with Huckle's
Cats, who are also the team with the largest recognition gain today. 80s Fantasy
finishes out our top 5. Mirkwood Orcs go missing, but it is nice to see Way of All
Flesh return to us, even if it is mostly at the night fights!
If my records are correct and he has the skills, Torquil should get an invitation to
the Isle next turn. As I mentioned in the last turn's report, Torquil has now tied
the record for most consecutive turns as Duelmaster. If he retains the title next
turn, he will have broken it! Torquil is now tied with former Duelmaster and Lord
Protector Smokehead from the Thirsty Thugs guild. Exciting stuff going on here in New
Seam!
Time for me to go, my sweets! I must update my autumn closet and there is no better
time than the present! All this rain makes it a dreary day, but nothing so bad that
it cannot be cured with therapy . . . retail therapy at the company's expense! Ah
yes, I think that will do just fine! Have a wonderful afternoon and I hope to see you
soon, let's say in 2 weeks?
