SPY REPORT
Here we are again, my darlings, and it is wonderful to see you. Such exciting times
in the arena. We have a new Duelmaster! We have had new teams join us to battle for
those Unchartered awards! Good times! So, sit back and let me tell you about all the
important (and sometimes trivial) events that occurred in our wonderful arena this
turn!
After Torquil's long reign on the throne, it seemed inevitable that those following
him would not enjoy such lengthy stays. Many of them sat in Challenger Champions
ranks and caught the attention of more than a few officials. Now, once they take the
throne, their names are known and it feels like their graduations to the Isle come
much quicker. All that to say, we are quickly going through Duelmasters! We had
Sleepless and then Requiem, who both took the throne, and then they were off to the
Isle of the Eye! Requiem leaves us with a win, so that means Ascension's challenge to
our departing Duelmaster was not successful.
This turn's title fight came down to a bloodfeud between Parental Deceit and Allmight.
On our last turn, PD was able to get a bit of revenge, but would that carry over to
today's fight? Sadly for Parental Deceit, it did not! Allmight is our new Duelmaster
and with no graduation notice, he will have the opportunity to defend it all next
turn. Weirding Ways do not have any more bloodfeud challenges left, but they could
still play spoiler since Parental Deceit is ranked in the Challenger Champions.
And I have to say congrats to Parental Deceit for making it to the Isle of the Eye.
You are now immortal and get to enjoy all of those special training benefits that
Greywand offers to the elite fighters of Alastari! PD is managed by Weirdo, but we
don't hold that against him as a person or as a newly minted Lord Protector.
Time for the general information for the turn. There were 33 fights total with 6
challenges going to the Dark Arena. We have already mentioned the single bloodfeud
challenge for the turn. That leaves us with 13 regular challenges and 13 random match
ups. The most avoided team was Robo Village with Way of All Flesh avoiding them the
most. Our most challenged warrior was Mixl, who fought off the veteran Vox Sunfire in
2-minute bout.
There were many warriors sent to the Dark Arena, which is not that uncommon. The
strangeness of today's news is one of the warriors came back! Ceedra Maw of Darque
Knights did not look happy when she came into the gladiatorial meeting this morning.
I guess hearing that you are being sent to the Dark Arena unexpectedly can do that to
you. She was a bit more relieved after her fight with The Wreck King, but I would not
want to be in tomorrow's meetings with her manager.
Time for me to go, my sweets. Come back and join us next turn. I have no idea what
is going to happen, but I'm confident that it will be exciting! Battles for the
throne are always wondrous, but I just like it better when the Duelmaster is not on
his or her way to the Isle. The fight feels more real, but that is just a personal
preference! See you next turn!
-- Sidara Brightbell
P.S. I do feel the need to mention that Robo Village is now 10-0-0. I will have to
look back at my records, but I do not believe anyone has pulled off the perfect 3-turn
run yet. Maybe we will see another New Seam first on turn 144!

PERSONAL ADS
All -- My apologies. A strat was sent in for Captain Obvious last turn, but he didn't
run. I blame the Commission for not reading my chicken scratch properly. -- Weirdo,
mgr Weirding Ways
Robo Village -- I for one, welcome our new Robo Overlords! -- Weirdo
Eli & Hero's Inc -- Welcome. So, will you guys be sticking around a while? -- Weirdo
Loud Noises -- I fart in your general direction! -- Weirdo
Darque -- Pay Attention! -- Weirdo
Hydra -- Next time, I will wear more armor. -- Earthquake Season
Codex -- I doft my hat to you, sir. -- Urban Sombrero
Davina -- Don't eat the snow or you'll be a salty wench! -- Yellow Snowman
All -- Time to clean house. Vox and Fal are the last of the old guard, but I'm trying
to be more selective moving forward with the replacements. We will see how long that
lasts. -- Master Darque
Eli -- Welcome to Seam. First turns can be really rough, no matter the arena and
starting team. You can't challenge and avoid. You are really just at the mercy of
the fight coordinators -- and well, mercy is NOT one of their defining qualities. --
Master Darque, mgr. Darque Knights
Halftone -- It has been our fights that have really shown me what fickle, fickle
mistresses the Fates can be! I rarely change strategies, but do flip weapons from
time to time, yet we have such different outcomes each time we meet. -- Vox Sunfire,
shocked as everyone that he is still alive
Tarl -- I had no idea how that would play out, but glad I won. Now . . . I have no
idea who to challenge. -- Fal Icetooth
