SPY REPORT
Ladies, gentlemen, and the rest of you welcome back to Seam, where men and women far
braver than they are competent to test their luck and life expectancy on the arena
sands! I am Huard DePriest, the familiar voice of barely contained disdain for
warriors, managers, and fans. If you are tuning in, you have not missed much except a
few mediocre comedians trying to do crowd work. I've seen funnier displays at public
executions. Do not worry! I am sure there is plenty more poor planning and desperation
to come!
Today's championship fight promised?.. . well, let's call it "entertainment." Two
seasoned warriors entered the sands and proceeded to cure the fans' insomnia. I will
be honest: Faz tried to make a good show out of it, but there is only so much a Piker
can do under the best circumstances. But What Am I was our returning champion and top
Total Parry, so it is not hard to see why the match took the turn it did. I am
probably being too harsh, but then again, I just described a Total Parry and Piker
title match, so probably not! Congrats once again, but what am I for holding onto the
throne and getting another opportunity in the next cycle to defend it?
Give me a drum roll so I can announce the most avoided team! What do you mean it is
not in the budget? Okay, then give me an air drum roll to say Huckle's Cats is the
most avoided team. Who do we find running away every time Huckle's bundles of fur and
hate make an appearance? You might be surprised to know that it was the Local Girls. I
thought girls liked cats. I continue to be confused by this arena. How does Sidara
keep up with all the paradoxes in this place? It is none of my business if something
is shady about those cats over at Huckle's place. The most challenged warrior, this
turn, has an interesting story attached to it. Lola Doomfist found herself the target
of a 28-point down challenge from Square (is that a double entendre?). Most of the
bookies thought this one was a foregone conclusion and that Square was sure to win. If
you took the underdog in that fight, you can buy me a round later tonight! Lola
overcame Square in a 1-minute bout to move up 16 points in the rankings, while Square
dropped by 28.
Darque Knights takes over as the top team. They moved up from the fourth spot and
replaced Pandemic Boredom, which dropped to fourth place. Rubber vs Glue made the most
significant leap, moving from seventh place to second. Thirsty Thugs was the only team
to drop out of the top five rankings. Unlikely Heroes jumped the largest points and
took home the Team on the Move award. Mississippi Sheiks continues as our Popularity
Leader. The obituaries are brief this week and only come from the Dark Arena.
And so, dear patrons of the games, as the last drop of blood spills and the last sword
is sheathed, it is time for us to bid farewell to one another. It was another great
day. . . "entertainment," yes, that was the word we were using. So, we close the
curtains on another day of questionable decisions and fleeting glory. Remember to
return in 14 days, and let's do it again. If you survived this day, well done! You've
earned another go at death in a fortnight. Bye!

Tutto -- Fantastico! Vado a Legoland! -- Duolingo
Yes, it's true, we're going to Legoland. Now that I have 38 million Shiba Inu "crypto
coins", I'm pretty free and easy with treating the family to treats like food,
clothing, and trips to far-off exotic places like Land of the Lego. Everything truly
is awesome. -- Pappy
