SPY REPORT
Right idea, wrong warrior! Sure enough, our tournament victors are hunting scum,
but I forgot we have two of them, not one. THE JEFF sent a TV challenge to BASORN
KUBIKIRI. This challenge was looking for more than just an easy win, though. This
one was looking for blood. Channel Master likely noticed that the Avengers' warriors
are young and thought that there would be no retribution for a brutal killing of
BASORN. And quite likely there will be none... Today! Kills like this brighten fight
day! Looking forward to the reckoning, too!
Meanwhile, CONTEMPT of Assassin Nation showed us all that the top warrior can be
beaten! PI's streak ends at 5 wins and 3 turns on the throne. Amusingly, PI is also
prevented for at least one turn from getting win #14. Two more losses and I'll be
laughing it up as my PI count down will fail (otherwise the count down is at 2)!
CONTEMPT gains the throne and will be fighting for immortality next turn.
Any bets on the most challenged warrior next turn?!? SGT. ROCK, you've got what
looks like a big fat target on your back, with TV challenging scum-hunting warriors
all over the top of the arena and an Aimed Blow on the throne.
With all the other excitement, it would have been easy to miss the five minute
slugfest between FLOYD'S BOOKIE and SALT WATER. The undefeated BOOKIE came out on
top. CHAFFY TAFFY is also putting up a nice streak, winning #6 and still keeping the
recognition low. Amusingly, LAVA CAKE GOLEM's undefeated streak was ended at 4 by a
warrior who'd never won a fight before.
Lady Smith knows when hard times have come. She avoided a second opher in a row
by activating the dependable HARPOON. I wish I could offer a bounty for a broken
harpoon, but on my salary... USEFUL WEAPONS did retake the career win-loss award,
though. CHAMAELEON's 0-2 dropped them a lot more than USEFUL WEAPONS' 1-2.
Good times for ASSASSIN NATION and JUST DESSERTS, each winning 4. Not
suprisingly, they are #1 and #2 in the current top team standings and with 4 wins this
turn, likely to keep those spots for a couple more turns.
To close, I'll give all the boring number stuff. All ten styles were represented,
in spite of just 31 warriors fighting. We saw 3 dark arena fights, 1 TV challenge,
and 4 other challenges. Ten matchups (which saw two stand ins that lost - including
the infamous, dangerous, Dangerous Criminal). RICHARD was reported as the most
challenged warrior (Channel Master sure seems to be making lots of friends, both on
the sands and off). Avoids were split all over the place. 5 avoids each to ASSASSIN
NATION, JUST DESSERTS, and USEFUL WEAPONS. 4 avoids each to BASH BROS OCEAN and
CARTOON NETWORK. Clearly the most avoiding team is Assur's BASH BROS OCEAN, using all
ten of their avoids.
Before the next turn runs, there will be a tournament. Will our city continue to
see success? Go forth and bring back glory!
-- A highly entertained Belinda
