SPY REPORT
Welcome back, my darlings! I perhaps spoke too soon and too well of the weather
last cycle! It is a dreary and rainy day here for our games at the moment. Ah, what
can we do? I know there are some wizards that can control the weather, but tampering
too much with nature is never a good idea. One never knows when they are going to
anger a deity, river sprite, or even a street vendor! I have heard rumors some of the
gladiators like the rain as it adds a new, uncertain element to the fights. I enjoy
it because it is the only bath some of these warriors will get for a few weeks!
Alright, let's take a look at all the arena action today!
Janitor Joe was doing so well upon the throne. It really looked like he had
found his niche as champion as he defended his throne the last 3 turns from all that
wished to unseat him! Sadly, that streak came to an end today. JJ challenged Mixl,
and our stalwart arena veteran was able to seize his chance and take the title! He
also got an invitation to the Isle, so Mixl is doubly rewarded on this day! Congrats,
warrior! Mixl is managed by DMobster and the Thirsty Thugs guild is one of New Seam's
founding teams.
The most avoided team today is Darque Knights. They were mostly avoided by the
Metal Blade guild. Mr Read-a-Lot is once again our most challenged warrior. I know
that 43 losses makes him a juicy target, but a 37 point down challenge from Oblivion
seems a bit much, especially when he isn't the Duelmaster. Just when I think you
gentlemen can't disappoint me more, you reach for the stars.
Trance died during the regular matches and gets the distinction of being the only
non-Dark Arena death today. With all of the down challenges that I am counting, I am
sure it is not for lack of effort on the gladiators' parts. There is no top team this
cycle, as 3 teams are tied with a 9-6-0 record. It would not take much for someone to
swoop in a displace all of them on turn 158. We should have a few more warriors
graduating next turn as well, so I will keep an eye on those teams that are brining
fresh gladiators to our beloved sands.
Time for me to go, my sweets! I hope you have had a wonderful time in our fair
city and will join us next time. We will be back here in two weeks for more fights,
and we will most likely crown a new Duelmaster. I say most likely because there are a
few factors that can lead to no one being crowned Champion of the Games. Come back
next time and see how it all plays out!

PERSONAL ADS
Handyman -- I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish with the multiple
challenges each turn. I'm beginning to think you think I'm a soft target. So I'm
returning the favor and will be attempting to challenge you this next turn and see if
I can continue my winning ways. Pretty sure when we do it your way the past couple of
turns its been 2-1 for me, and you currently are sporting a 10 fight losing streak, so
if you don't figure something out soon you are going to lose your precious top spot in
the arena. Of course it seems your MO is to down challenge less experienced warriors
for the easy wins, which worked for you in the beginning because You have a bunch of
crap styles that usually are fast out of the gate but long term are weak. I mean I
enjoy a good basher now and again, and your total parry is a nice scummy type. Your
Wastes are not doing so hot, although I cant really say anything since Hydra is
batting 500 right now, and wolverine is way below that. I'm keeping him around because
he has a 21 will and an attack of 75, or whatever the new measurement is. So
eventually he will either start winning or at the very least survive long enough to
get to Home Guard and then train up some stats. I figure that in the next 10 turns
Beowulf should graduate to ADM and perhaps 1 or 2 others as well, perhaps then you can
target my squad again since they will be a bunch of noobs ripe for the picking. Hope
the rest of you fine folks are doing well. -- Eli
Eternal Witness -- Not sure why you complain about a fight you won. Just so you know,
on my second and third turn in this arena I was down-challenged multiple times, when I
commented about it in the PA's I was told "that is how things are here". Thus, our
team does the same. If you want to enter into an agreement where you never down-
challenge my warriors by points or FE's, I will be happy to do the same with your
team. -- The Landlord, Robo Village
