SPY REPORT
Good day, in SUNSET a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.
So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. It seems the training can make the
difference, as RAGING LORDS is pushed out of top team by KANO CLAN, who came from 2nd
with a 4-1-0 this turn. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are
sorrows to drown for GRIM FANDANGO, whose 1-4-0 this turn dropped them by 7 into
17th. DARK AT HEART stable has parlayed this turn's 4-1-0 into a 5 space move up the
rankings. This brings them up to 3rd place. Good work, guys! The DEVIATION guild
has had a 5-0-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You never know where
this kind of thing can lead. And let's see, SLIM fought WHEELBARROW and gained 23
points and contributed to OMINOUS REIGN's 1-4-0. RHENNTHYL has lost to LEVEL OF
MALEVOLENCE, falling 14 points, while helping make BLOODTHIRST a 1-4-0 turn. This
turn TIME challenged CHESTERTON in what was SUNSET's Title bout. And not without
some honor, CHESTERTON now claims the title and throne of Duelmaster of SUNSET. Tell
me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable sources that Wildlife
Unlimited uses trolls in their stew. Talk about gristle!
The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more
could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that. BLOOD AND SAND has cause to stand
tall, as they were SUNSET's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team
to beat. And avoiding BLOOD AND SAND more than any other team we find CAJUN
APOCALYPSE. SUNSET, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? The most
challenged warrior this turn was KANO CLAN's warrior METARU HEI. More fighters
challenged him than challenged the Duelmaster! Well now, what do you expect when
someone like DAGGERMOUTH from RAGING LORDS challenges down 21 points to fight SALVIA
SALLY of COSMIC FREAK OUT? We're not surprised to hear that DAGGERMOUTH defeated
SALVIA SALLY, but I bet it would be interesting to hear why RAGING LORDS made such a
challenge. In a brave attempt, GREY FATAL from GOLGOTHA'S BLOOMS challenged up 23
points to fight OPHELIA DELPHI from the THE RED BLADES stable. GREY FATAL perhaps
got his just desserts, seeing as he was bested by OPHELIA DELPHI and ended up with 71
recognition points.
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? Banners at half mast, warriors, OMINOUS REIGN has lost ONE ARMED
BOXER, and you might say all of SUNSET has felt the loss, except maybe BEN & JERRY'S.
Congratulations go out to BEN'S BAZAAR, with SPEEDO SMURF revenging a bloodfeud
against TROWSUL THUNDER of RAGING LORDS. Wildlife Unlimited declares a free round
for BLAKSKUL and all of GRIM FANDANGO, for having revenged BEN & JERRY'S' DUBLIN
MUDSLIDE for killing one of their comrades. Kudos go out to SPEEDO SMURF this turn,
for revenging BEN'S BAZAAR's bloodfeud against RAGING LORDS' warrior TROWSUL THUNDER.
Well done. We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their enemies.
You know who you are; and it's considered rude.
I like this place, SUNSET, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.
Who could ask for more? Well, I'm burning daylight here in SUNSET and I've a long
road ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until you see my quill in SUNSET again, farewell--

PERSONAL ADS
Shog -- Thank you so much for relieving us of the burden imposed by that Striker in
our midst, Morikawa Take. You saved us the trouble of a DA fight. -- Kano
Batwamba -- Ask your manager to cut his losses and send you into retirement. Might
be the best for both of you. Your future looks bleak anyway, in my humble opinion.
-- Musubu Kin
Whirled Peace -- What in the world could your manager possibly be thinking by sending
you up 25 points to me? Stupid! Darn lucky you didn't get killed, man. -- Moshi
Haru
Mannish Boy -- Good job, bub! Now that's what is expected of your kind. Better
watch your back for all those Lungers lurking about from now on. -- Minami Tori
One Armed Boxer -- Whoa, man! You should have easily had me in that fight, but you
let it deteriorate into an endurance contest against me. Big mistake. -- Metaru Hei
Khorvinus -- Could care less about knowing you or not, little one. The evidence of
your statements indicates without any doubt you're just another jerk that thinks he
knows better. You demonstrate precisely the problem here with all you arrogant and
self-righteous ones that think it's cool to be punk. Small minds with mental
disorders. -- Kano
The Tribe was able to cut his losses and eliminate two of his bad seeds in DA fights.
Am thinking that at least two more of his need to go via the same means. Perhaps
he'll get lucky and choose the right fighting style in accordance with the attributes
on his new roll-ups.
The Battle Report for this last turn is nothing short of fascinating. I love this
arena! A whopping 21 Lungers with only 6-15 record should not be the case; 14
Strikers at 7-7 is not surprising at all; and Parry-Rips with 7-3 and Plungers with a
5-1 (Again!) is something remarkable indeed. All of which indicates a rather
bloodthirsty level of competition here. This is great!
And look at all the killing going on in Sunset! The Arena of Death! For 14 warriors
to get killed in one turn is a lot, guys. Yes, 8 of them were DA fights, but among
the other 6 were some pretty significant slayings. Let the BFs fly! You boys are
certainly maintaining the reputation of Sunset as the arena of death. Yiiha!
All right, all of you. Am noticing something interesting in the content of your PAs,
and that is this "black and white" mentality with respect to this game we're playing.
You really need to drop out of that mode. Virtually nothing with regards to Duel is
simply black and white. It's all gray area. Almost nothing can be nailed down.
There are no absolutes. Nothing concrete. Get it? You just cannot say it has to be
one way of the other. This game doesn't work like that. There's just too many
moving parts like 10 styles, 20 weapons, 8 armors, 10 digits in 3 places on the Turn
Sheet, a dozen hit locations, and 7 attributes from 3 to 21, etc. etc. All of it is
sort of like the Yin and Yang of Confucianism. You have to find that balance and
you'll then begin to understand what people like Bruce Lee meant when he said, "Don't
think. Feeel." -- Kano
After experienceing a few thousand fights in this game and observing a few thousand
more, there appears to be a point at which the PPs (Popularity Points) play an
exceptionally significant role in the outcome of a fight. Somewhere between 10 and
15 or more points difference will almost certainly result in the higher point total
winning the fight. Of course not all the time, but the majority (probably guessing
between 60 to 80%) of the time. I've even seen a deficit of as much as 38 points
actually win a fight, but the occurrence is exceedingly rare. The fighter with the
lower Points total has to get some very lucky rolls in the program that runs these
fights. -- Kano
My opinion of the PPs is a very negative one. It completely defiles the notion of
'the better fighter with a superior strategy'. For instance, you might have the
better warrior in every way than the opponent he faces. But because he suffers under
a PP deficit of let's say 18 or 20 points, it's almost a sure bet he loses. And the
only reason for it is because he had less PPs. That's ridiculous and infuriates me
to no end. BUT, the good folks at RSI hold to a different mentality. What's your
opinion?
Kano Clan -- Just remember, you challenged ME. -- Shog
The Hunter -- One day you WILL be the HUNTED. -- Reduvius
The late Ninja Barbie -- You definitely HAD skills. -- The Cajun
Red House -- What the hell? BOTH of us broke scimitars??? Where is the quality
control on the arena armorers? -- Seliora
P.S. You need to draw that backup weapon if you're planning to win.
Feather -- Did someone say "go?" I think I missed it. -- Praechyon
Lenny Spark -- That was quite an education bout, for both of us. Thanks. -- Idaria
Metaru Hei -- Bravo, you win this round. Pity my strat wasn't optimal but at least
it was pointed out. -- One Armed Boxer
Elise Isla -- I can sing and pretty darn good! Count me in! -- One Armed Boxer
P.S. I'm glad I don't have 8 pusses lol.
P.S.S Do I have to wear a Tutu?
Ben's Bazaar -- Thank you, Sir. -- Time
The Foiler -- A Bandit? Who? Hehe. -- One Armer Boxer
Ophelia Delphi -- Your time's almost up here. Wish you luck. -- Time
Pietros -- Dang. -- Slim
Praechyon -- (Looks around) Who really won this fight. -- Feather
Librarian Smurf -- MEOW! -- Azreal
Rhennthyl -- You gave me a good shot, but pain turned to anger and the Thracian
inside awoke. Apologies for your new limp. -- Spartacus
Slim -- Have a sandwich and two Aleve, the headache will subside eventually. --
Pietros
Daggermouth -- I thought robotic sharks were banned from Sunset. Nice job. -- Barca
Trelaine -- One freaking skill...thanks for little. -- Crixus
Trowsul Thunder -- I think you should change your name to TROWSUL THe UNDER taker. --
Yodle Layhe Who ain't no more
Ruin -- Do you realize you ruined a perfectly good Pink Leather Bandana? HMMM? --
The Late Ninja Barbie
Chabon -- Shake your Cha-Bon-bon, baby! -- The Foiler
Ruin -- I hope to foil your plans. -- The Ruiner...I mean the FOILER of dreams
Holy Moly -- Caught ya eyeing the speedos, these I got just for you, extra tight. ;)
-- Speedo Smurf
Azrael -- I see you have a studied the Dewey decimal system. I shall take that into
account the next time that we meet. -- Librarian Smurf
DM LP Time -- Where has the time gone? The time has gone to the Isle. Now how are
we suppose to know when to show up to fight with out you screamin' at ALL hours of
the day and night what time it is (the night part we could have done with out by the
way)? -- Ben's Bazaar
Gen Ikillu -- Taking top team! Nice job there, killer! -- Gentleben
Khisanth -- Welcome back, you snake. ;) -- Gentleben
Bitter Dove -- I am stubborn. I don't learn much. -- Wheelbarrow
Walli Weeble -- Every time you're above me I am going to challenge you. -- Sledge
Oooh I was popular! Thanks, Walli. -- Grass Seed
All -- Wow, that was a bloodbath...Halo was a 9-13-13-17-7-14-11 dixie ST, pretty
much win or die, no big loss. Like Water, on the other hand, was a favorite. 9(+1)-
12-12-21-9-7-15 PR, blessed with great damage. Started off 5-1 and I had high hopes,
but you see where that went. Learned very inconsistently and not enough attack to
ever throw any crits. Replacements are runnable, at least worth a try. R.I.P., boys
and girls. Bloodfeuds a comin'! -- Stik
Hope Springs -- And I would be the spring board, I guess. Damn. -- Blakskul
Chunky Monkey -- At least we posted one win against you guys. I'll take it! --
Helrazor
LP/DM Time -- Congrats on the title and immortality! -- Grim Fandango
Gen. Ikillu -- Rage on, dude. Nice three-turn. -- Stik
Nomad -- Kano continues the personal attacks because, recent rash of unexplainable
wins aside, he has no leg to stand on to defend any of his comments/rants/opinions to
any of us, as demonstrated. Pick them apart and you get called names or told to shut
up. I used to think at this point it was all adults playing this game, guess not.
Good hunting at any rate! -- Stik
Like Water -- Who doesn't? But for most of them, "decent lerns" run through their
minds, well, like water. -- Kallia May
Our congratulations to Time, it's definitely time he left. -- Jorja and the Sword
Opera cast
Hardy -- Easy to see that YOU don't know what it's like to be late to have your nails
done. Ernestine threw a FIT when I was half an hour late. -- Celina Hye
P.S. But the skills were good, and I thank you.
Level of Malevolence -- Oh, golly, have we seen THAT this past few days. Not so much
malevolence, maybe, but the level of Jorja's fury was... high. Good thing she's
coming down off it now, or we wouldn't have written personals. -- Kallia May
Celine -- That was more unpopular with ME than with the entire audience put together.
Ouch. -- Elise Isla
Crixus -- I see this turn going down into the nethermost pit of ohferdom. Truly, a
turn from the Dark Side. -- Trelaine
Wheelbarrow -- Didn't we just do this? -- Bitter Dove
