                                      SPY REPORT

Well I completely missed all the fights this week and get to the office this morning 
with piles of paperwork to look through in order to write this report and the first 
thing I open (since it is clearly the most entertaining and important piece of 
information) is the dead report.  ZILCH!?!  What is going on here?  Another turn 
without any bloodshed?!?  I understand that 16 fights isn't the most in the world, but 
it should be enough to generate at least ONE kill.  I guess this won't be the 
highlight of my day!!!

ADIOS AMIGO!  Yes, another turn on the throne after devastating MANDIN ORWELL was 
enough for the commission to send him away.  A shame, because he was one of the better 
killers around.

The graduating class of turn 426 will also include veteran HUAYRA.  My records are a 
bit shaky, but I don't believe HUAYRA ever sat on the throne.

Three teams won two awards each.  LEGIONS OF FATE (more on them in a minute), OTTOBAHN 
(welcome back), and USEFUL WEAPONS.  USEFUL WEAPONS is on a 9-0 run over the last 
three turns.  Even though I'm not a Smithy fan, I do appreciate the way they hide 
warriors from turn to turn, DC, and win win win!  Though while that normal MO is 
admirable, I question whether even that would be enough for them to go 9-0 over three 
turns.  No, the commission bribes to get a Mordant Deserter and Embezzling Scribe this 
turn were what pushed them over.  Though I suppose the commission bribes are perhaps 
even more impressive than a massive down challenge.

LEGIONS OF FATE, in the meantime, is struggling to find its way.  Hopefully their 
challenges this turn netted them plenty of skills (they challenged and lost to three 
more experienced warriors).

In fact, with one exception, it sure looks like everyone was challenging for skills 
this turn.  The exception, of course, was WITCHING HOUR of AFTER MIDNIGHT.  WITCHING 
HOUR challenged the VERY BOTTOM ranked warrior in the arena last turn!  What a 
glorious way to move to 6-0!  And STILL a chellenger initiate, so another similar 
challenge can be made next turn!  I'm putting money on AFTER MIDNIGHT being the most 
avoided team next turn. (This turn it was the previously mentioned USEFUL WEAPONS).

So I guess this turn wasn't entirely a loss from my point of view.  WITCHING HOUR's 
challenge and victory makes me smile.  Appropriate, also, as we approach Halloween, 
that WITCHING HOUR should be featured!

Until next time, I remain much more than your humble servant, 

Belinda
