                                      SPY REPORT

    When I last reported the tourney results, it was a bright day for Chimlevtal.  One 
of our brightest, in fact.  Especially given our low participation, any TV is a big 
deal, let alone a TC like DROKK brought back.  This tourney was not one of our better 
moments or showings.  Ten warriors entered the tournament.  Only one, PANTOMIME of 
DARKNESS FALLS, had a winning record, going 4-3-1 in the Champions class.  18-30-1 all 
together.  Maybe next time.  Though on other days, I question why I even bother 
reporting on the tourney results since it is fairly clear and certain that most of you 
here are not as interested in the tourney as even I am (a lowly spy reporter).  I 
actually attended this one and got to see some of the best up close.  So I can 
sympathize with the lack of interest.  The best specimen of a warrior here doesn't 
come close to what I saw this last weekend.
    SPECTRUM of the AVENGERS was the most challenged warrior.  COPS!' challenge was 
the one that went through and it looks like a beauty.  A DC win to a more experienced 
warrior.  That is likely going to give lots of learns (and of course the boost to the 
record).  However COPS! also managed to stay in the Challenger Adepts so he can make 
the same challenge again next turn!  Now that is how you manage your warriors!
    PATRICK BATEMAN again tried for the throne and again showed why strikers are one 
of the best styles in basic.  TAR made short work of PATRICK BATEMAN and stays on top 
again.  If he'd write a column, I'd live with the mess he leaves around, but no 
column?!?  Someone dethrone him!!!  Send him off to retirement, Commission!  Kill him!  
Do something, but get him out of my arena!
    Something you don't see every day is a three way tie for the most avoids. Not only 
that, but two other teams were one shy of the three way tie.  The teams were YUPPIE 
HORDE II, USEFUL WEAPONS, and AFTER MIDNIGHT.  I can't think of a more motley crew 
than that.  Doing the most avoids were a combination of AFTER MIDNIGHT and USEFUL 
WEAPONS (likely avoiding each other, but I didn't go into as much depth as I normally 
do - too many late nights during the tourney, you know).
    And unfortunately, the paperwork last month was completely off and thus my report 
was lost and the prior turn's report was reprinted.  So you can read this newsletter 
for the rest of this turn's results and I'll just do the housekeeping required to 
bring back a couple of good memories from last turn. I apologize to those who were so 
looking forward to my report last month. I will claim that it was a commission 
paperwork mix up, but I haven't checked for fear of discovering otherwise and 
confirming AFTER MIDNIGHT's claims. And if I did check after writing that prior 
sentence and discovered it was my filing mistake, I'm not telling!!!
    WELCOME BACK MIDDLE WAY!!!  We are more than pleased to see your team return to 
the game.  I said more last month and perhaps I can get you a copy of that report 
privately.  And perhaps soon we'll see you back in the personals?
    And just in case you all missed it (and given the fireworks between Destitute 
Noble and Lady Smith you may have), AVENGERS took 5 challenges last turn.  One of 
those resulted in death. (yes, I love stirring up the pot)
    See you next time.  

                       -- Belinda, still reporting and having a blast and still hoping  
                          to help make Chimlevtal the best arena in all Alastari

 "Lady Smith -- After all the humiliation and pain that your squad has HEAPED upon me 
 I feel no remorse.  I look forward to being a thorn in your collective sides whether 
 it be by Numbers Game, All Night Long, or my Just Desserts squad. -- D. Noble"

Mr. Noble, I can only express my surprise and sadness at such remarks, but I must 
temper my emotions and realize that you are the most destitute being that I know of. 
Smithy and I wish you only the best and offer you roses rather than thorns. -- Lady 
Smith

Tar is Duelmaster?  Well, my goodness.  Congratulations to him.  What a feat!  Assur 
must be proud.  (And surprised.) -- Lady Smith

Yeah!  I be supprized to.  Ehaw! -- Smithy

Third Beer, I must have had four, because my throwing arm felt awfully woozy.  That 
was rather unfair of you. -- Lasso, Useful Weapons

Serenity Now, I feel no serenity!  I feel hurt and embarrassed and MAD! You must have 
taken advantage of me and I am filing suit! -- Ms. Acid, Useful Weapons

Red Pepper, I can only say you are my better.  Are you my uncle? -- Pool Cue, Useful 
Weapons

Mandin Orwell!  You?  Really?!  You caught me on a dry day and I was at my best. -- 
Umbrella, Useful Weapons

Middle Way 7!!!!!  Welcome back!  Yes!  We are so glad to see you again! -- Lady 
Smith, Smithy, and The Useful Weapons (And Consortiumites everywhere.)

First Date, Mom told me you were way too old for me, but I didn't listen.  I can't 
believe you did that!  Never again! -- Bolo, Useful Weapons

Belinda, oh what the heck, Happy New Year. -- Lady Smith

Bolo -- Does your belly still sting from that first loss? -- First Date

Lasso -- Care for another beating? -- Third Beer

3 Nights In Vegas -- Simple.  The same as the ratio of Unicorns to Leprechauns. -- 
First Date

Middle Way -- Welcome back to Chimlevtal!  Won't you stay a while? -- After Midnight

Belinda -- Copy and pasting the previous turn's Spy Report so you could knock off 
early and get drunk?  Classic!  I guess we aren't the only ones mailing it in around 
here.... -- After Midnight

ATTENTION:  Have you or a loved one has been diagnosed with the heartbreak of 
Muffintheliomariasis?  You may be entitled to financial compensation!  
Muffintheliomariasis is a common nervous system disorder linked to the destruction of 
self-worth and confidence due to the regular down-challenging of The Muffin Man.  
Symptoms and side effects include involuntary twitching, irritable bowels, sweating, 
abdominal pain, headache, gender impermanence, acute hygienic arrest, nausea and 
death.  These side effects typically occur after his down-challenging warrior has 
whomped up on you, your warrior or a loved one.  Are you at the end of your rope?
