                                      SPY REPORT

     It was a dark and dismal day in Chimlevtal.  Only five teams participated in the 
fighting.  USEFUL WEAPONS won 3 and lost zero.  BASH BROS OCEAN won 3 and lost a dark 
arena fight.  MILITARY MAYHEM won 3 awards.  RONDOR SENDAL singlehandedly gave MIDDLE 
WAY 7 the throne.  AVENGERS simply had a terrible bad day.
     CAPTAIN OBVIOUS didn't want his career to be obviously headed towards the dark 
arena, so he slew the young, but well named MONTANA OREO.
     The personals were active, with three of our five active managers and their 
warriors participating.  Thanks as always.  (Even to the Smithy's). Lady Smith even 
gave advice this turn to use avoids.  And 13 of the 22 warriors did use avoids.  Two 
avoids each, even.  Not that it helped them. Avoiding inactive teams does nothing!!!  
AFTER MIDNIGHT received 6 of those avoids and JUST DESSERTS received 5.  RONDOR was 
the most challenged warrior.
     STORM SEASON won #7.  That is a 7-0 start, approaching the elite start range, but 
not quite there yet.  I find it amusing that WITCHING HOUR sits inactive at the same 
recognition level.
     Once again, the tourney performance for the arena was poor.  At least in April 
tournament, we had DROKK to cheer about.  This time there was no DROKK and nothing at 
all to cheer about.  6 total entries with 4 total wins spread to 4 of the warriors.  I 
will thank the 4 managers who participated, but start sending the good warriors to 
tourneys!  Bring home something to talk about.  Is the city so bereft of talent that 
1-3 is the best we can do?!? I sure hope not.  VINDICATOR's 1 win was enough to earn 
the status of Lord Protector (don't ask me why - 1-3 does not a good warrior make)
     So.  Here is my proclamation for next turn.  Everyone should start cleaning their 
teams to find tourney worthy recruits.  Then come October, we can really show the rest 
of Alastari what our fine city is made of! I want an average of 1 Dark Arena per 
team!!!!

Oh, my, Belinda! If I said something nice or even half-nice to you, I deeply 
apologize. -- Lady Smith

All right! I real warrior takes over the throne. Deservedly so. Congrats to The 
Colonel. The dingbat boozers and the wild weirdo are OUT! -- Lady Smith

Shucks! Luv me wepuns, Yup. Goy me yer 3-0! Yup. -- Smithy

Norrison Rose, fooled you, huh? -- Bolo, Useful Weapon

Basorn Kubikiri, we may have fought and fought (and fought) but the cream rose to the 
top in the end. -- Lasso, Useful Weapon

Nearly Parker, perhaps you would have had a chance if you were a Full Parker? Anyway, 
get a doctor to pull out all those slivers. -- Shard

All, some advice --- avoid. -- Lady Smith

Colonel Klink -- Fair enough. -- Rondor Sendal

Sergeant Schultz -- Ask me if I care now that I'm graduating!  I figure it was a good 
fight:  I didn't die, and you got a winning record. -- Lumus Nelp

Major Disaster -- Damn, are we looking at a losing turn here?  Just so my teammates 
remember that I didn't do it alone. -- Panda Ross
P.S.  You're welcome for the skills.

Bolo -- You weren't useful to ME.  I got tangled up in the rope and bopped by the 
weights. -- Norison Rose

Shard -- Heck.  An oh-fer turn.  Like Panda said, I didn't do it alone. -- Nearly 
Parker

Sergeant Schultz -- No, you weren't a good student. -- Panda Ross

Lady Smith and Smithy for couple of the year?  I can agree they were made for each 
other! -- Assur

Lumus Nelp -- The truth (and fiction) of Belinda's words about lands for Lord 
Protectors is a lot more complicated than she implies.  First you have to realize 
you're eligible for lands.  That announcement that comes with your notice of 
graduation talks about it.  That assumes you read all the fine print of the notice 
before recycling.  Then you need to hire a lawyer to go through all the terms and 
conditions.  That same lawyer can also assist you with the paperwork required to apply 
and fulfill all the eligibility requirements documentation for the commission.  Then 
the approval process.  I've seen it take as much as three years, but average is about 
13 months.  Yes, Lord Protectors are eligible for land, but the actual acquisition of 
that land is a different process. -- Assur

What happened to my paperwork.  I get to the arena last week and am turned away 
because Assur didn't submit my intent to fight paper!  It was in the same stack as the 
others.  I saw it!!! -- Winter
