SPY REPORT
This week, I will start with the team news (even though it is probably not the
best news of the turn. I give my 'best' of the turn to the AVENGERS. Most
importantly, they claimed 4 awards and even though 3 were won by the same warrior, it
is still a lot of awards. If I was sympathetic, I'd have empathy that they missed out
on winning 5. But since I'm not so nice, I laugh! 4 awards and they only get credit
for 2!!! The did have a nice 3-1 record, too; more wins than everyone except
SHADOWHOLD. SHADOWHOLD also won 3, but had 2 losses. To their credit, they added a
kill as well. But their medicore turn only gets them a 4th place finish for the "best
team this turn." AFTER MIDNIGHT and USEFUL WEAPONS claimed the rest of the awards for
the turn and get my #2 and #3 spots. It seems rare that so few teams gather all the
awards here, which is why I gave the nod to those teams.
There were only two challenges this turn, both by USEFUL WEAPONS. And as is so
often the case, the down challenger won while the up challenger lost. When will you
people understand that while the rankings aren't perfect, they do mean something.
More of the warriors below your own warrior are worse than the warriors above your
warrior. Even better, the down challenge was a scum fight!!! DC and scum your
opponent! Classic!
There were 12 other fights and 28 total warriors represented 9 teams (though one
warrior/team was likely not suppposed to be here). Those totals do not include the 4
Dark Arena fights (the only surprise there was TERROR TWIN, a 13-16-1 warrior, getting
the honor to fight at night).
There was one casualty outside the Dark Arena. And serves BASH BROS OCEAN right.
CLOSED BEACH?!? That just isn't acceptable! Two other warriors also deserve mention.
SKIN A. MAX has reached 3-0. A nice start, but we all know how difficult it is to
maintain starts like that! NECKTIE gets a different type of mention. He was the most
challenged warrior, and yet he was matched up with a warrior. (probably this means
there weren't many total challenges and the one or two challenges made against NECKTIE
weren't recognized).
USEFUL WEAPONS seems to be getting a lot of mentions and they also get mentioned
in the avoids situation for the turn. USEFUL WEAPONS and AFTER MIDNIGHT collectively
sent 6 avoids (3 each) to MILITARY MAYHEM, the most avoided team. Pretty funny since
MILITARY MAYHEM didn't fight. So the other 15 avoids were much more useful than those
6.
URAKO WITSTEALER returned to action this turn and found himself matched against
the duelmaster, ODACHI. Aimed Blow versus Slasher. The odds were heavily favoring
the slasher (of course, that is to make sure there were bets for URAKO, so the house
get their cut and make money). ODACHI won and showed why at this level, slashers beat
aimed blows. It wasn't a very good fight and the only reason I mention it is because
it IS the title fight. Maybe OROKE will come back next turn and we'll have a Slasher
versus Slasher fight. ODACHI will fight for the throne yet again (which surprises me -
After two turns as duelmaster, I would have guessed the 50 fight warrior would get his
invite, but not yet...)
That all I have to report this time! It was a nice day, being able to belittle
LADY SMITH's stable and managing ability several times! Though as much fun as it is
to make fun of her, I am quick to admit that she does more than just about everyone
here, writing ads almost every turn! Thanks, LADY SMITH! I appreciate you (for your
activity and for being able to use you as my favorite punching bag - Sadly the ads
were a bit garbled so I'll have to wait until later to read them once the computer
system un-garbles them)

PERSONAL ADS
Belinda, Belinda. Why would you want to do that? Calling First Date "unworthy" and
implying worse stuff, just because she wrote a personal ad? How mean and silly of you
to pick on her like that. I think I am going to tell your Great Great Uncle Mikey
about this. -- Lady Smith
Kanen Vilestar, thank you for the opportunity to compete with a Lord Protector.
Apparently I was neither skilled enough, nor good enough to compete, though. But I
suspect you and your manager are quite embarrassed not to have killed me. Kinda pansy
weak, don't you think? I mean all your obvious massive experience and significant
expertise, and all you can do is barely eke me out? Tsk. Tsk. -- Umbrella, Useful
Weapon
Shark? I lost to you? Oh, what the heck, a salute to you and your manager. You both
need someone to say something positive about both of you. Have a nice day. -- Pool
Cue, Useful Weapons
Third Beer, that is really your fourth and I am hoping you will have five. -- Lasso,
Useful Weapon
Belinda! Well done! You finally wrote a decent spymaster column. (Except for trying
to belittle an ad writer.) Who did you plagiarize? -- Lady Smith
Muh wepuns got sum gud stuf. yeah! -- Smithy
Uh, Crip; I knew that tabling with Mannequin was going to rub off on you. A TC! Two
kills here! Soon the world will be proclaiming Killer One and Killer Two. -- Lady
Smith
Lasso -- Beauty is in the eye of the beer-holder. -- Third Beer
Litter -- Sorry about trashing you like that. -- First Date
Major Disaster -- I think you just had a meltdown. -- Second Base
