                                      SPY REPORT

    Tourney happiness.  All total, Chimlevtal sent 34 warriors.  13 of those were 
already dead.  I get that dead warriors that who perform well get to come back from 
the dead, but is that what you managers really want?  It seems like those warriors 
have some kind of taint or ickiness associated with them. While none of them came back 
from the dead (so I don't have to worry about that taint), they did have a winning 
record.  Even the dead challengers had a winning record.  Two other warriors joined 
the dead from the living tourney. One from Bash Bros Ocean, a worthless rookie.  The 
other from After Midnight, the mediocre Emergency Room.  On the positive side, 
Chamaeleon and Useful Weapons each brought back a tournament victor.  Well done, One 
Armed Bandit and Smithy (Not Lady Smith).  The final record: 96-101-7-3.  Weirdo 
counts deaths weird if he says that Chimlevtal had the highest kill percentage. My 
count: Chimlevtal killed off two mortals and had two killed.  Experience-wise, we won, 
killing a challenger and apprentice while losing a champion and a rookie.  Does 
killing a dead warrior again do anything?  These warriors are already tainted and 
icky.  A little more taint isn't going to make that much difference.
    I will give Weirdo credit, though.  His BAD BURRITO challenged ANAIS and it took 
less than a minute for that BURRITO to do its worst.  Channel Master loses his aimed 
blow on a down challenge.  Now that is the kind of DC that makes this girl smile!!!
    No other deaths, but plenty of DC's (and all but one of them was successful).  
Weirdo sent two more (COCKFIGHT to LAVA CAKE GOLEM and EL CHUPACABRAS to BRASS 
KNUCKLES).  Smithy sent one (DUMBBELL to BASARA KUBIKIRI).  Channel Master sent one 
(THE JEFF to COLD WIND).  I'm not sure if TANKEN challenging from the throne is 
strictly a down challenge, but TANKEN's challenge to RICHARD was the final, 
unsuccessful challenge.  RICHARD is our new duelmaster.
    Meanwhile, Weirdo also put his recent tauntings towards FLOYD'S BOOKIE on the 
sands as well as in the personals.  WITCHING HOUR challenged the BOOKIE, ignoring all 
advice to the contrary and found out first hand why Parry Lungers are normally a bad 
challenge for scum Total Parries.  This extends BOOKIE's undefeated start to 8-0.  It 
sure looks like FLOYD'S BOOKIE could go all the way through Chimlevtal without losing.  
I'd love to see HARPOON or MAJOR DISASTER test the BOOKIE.  Take the style advantage 
the other way!!!  Though it very well may be too late.  Enough development can 
completely erase style mismatches.
    Looking at team performances, the first thing I notice is how well distributed the 
awards were this turn.  9 awards went to 7 teams.  Cartoon Network picked up the 
Duelmaster and Team on the Move awards and Birds picked up both the unchartered 
awards.  After Midnight edged out Cartoon Network for the current top team by having 
one less loss.  Cartoon Network is in good shape to get that award on one of the next 
two turns, though, after going 4-1 for the best team record for the turn. 
    All styles except Parry Ripostes were represented.  Aimed Blows have the worst ten 
turn records, lower even than Bashers.  The computer didn't report any warriors as 
being most challenged.  I've always wondered why it occasionally doesn't report this, 
while on other turns, it may report someone as being most challenged likely on a 
single challenge.  Ah well, one of the main reasons I took this job is because I love 
this arena (not all the managers, though) and would rather see any human touch on 
these reports rather than a computer.
    Speaking of bad computer spy reports, the avoids reported by that computer are 
also not always correct.  This turn, it was a tie.  AFTER MIDNIGHT and USEFUL WEAPONS 
each received 6 avoids.  The most avoiding team?!?  AFTER MIDNIGHT was also the most 
avoiding team, sending 4 of the 12 avoids (all to USEFUL WEAPONS).
