SPY REPORT
Welcome back to Seam, my lovelies! Bad omens in the blood winds whisper of change in
our fair arena. With each passing turn, the size of our sands appears to shrink. It is
not in heart but in headcount. Still, those who remain are fierce, skilled, and full
of competitive fire. I know the tournament was this week, but we don't have any such
concerns here. Even without the tournament, we do not lack for drama.
All eyes were on the Duelmaster's bout, where Lexxee Lioneye made another claim for
the throne. She clawed her way back and did not allow a rocky record of 13-14-1 to
deter her. She stunned many in the stands with a win over I Know You Are from Rubber
vs Glue. Lexxee is poised for graduation and will leave us after the next turn. The
throne will soon be empty and ready for another champion to ascend!
This week's avoidance trend? No Tournament Blues was the most avoided team, and Rubber
vs Glue led that charge. Whether out of rivalry or self-preservation, the Glue crew
wanted none of the blues for this cycle. With an 11-4 record over the last three
turns, I would say the strategy is successful. If anyone knows what it means to be
popular, it is Lexxee Lioneye. She isn't at the top of everyone's list because she is
the new champion, but she was the most challenged warrior before her ascent. With her
final fight on the horizon, many in Seam want to test their mettle (or it could truly
be metal) against her one last time.
What was the biggest splash in the pond for turn 256? Rat Fink jumped 26 points with
an absolute crushing of Sau Sage, proving that mischief can get you far in life--or at
least in the arena. Conversely, Psyde executed Icky in one of the turn's most brutal
outcomes, reminding us that every bout has stakes in the arena.
As Seam's belt tightens with fewer blades meeting on the sands, my darlings, now is
the time to act. Encourage those veteran managers to return and continue writing their
stories. To new managers, take up your quills and make your mark on the sands of Seam.
There is room for every style, every story, and every goal in this fair arena. Until
next time!
