                                      SPY REPORT

    Twas a mostly bleak day on tourney day for our city.  Only 6 warriors were there 
to represent.  Three of those were from Destitute Noble's JUST DESSERTS team. By turn 
5, all but one were eliminated (two from death, but one of those was already 
immortal).  That left LAVA CAKE GOLEM alone for Chimlevtal at a 4-1 record.  Champions 
is not well known for being kind to total parries, and so it was for LAVA CAKE GOLEM, 
who did get to 5-3.
    So to brighten my day, I will begin this report proper with a challenge. Ghab's 
CUTTHROAT challenge Omnimancer's SOLSTICE.  I won't say anything about the exchange of 
words a month ago in the bar when these warriors were celebrating their first victory, 
but CUTTHROAT cut his first throat this month. Well done and I can only hope to see 
more of this in the future!
    Other than that, the challenges looked mostly like the normal fare, except no 
challenges by Smithy, which is uncommon, though he only fought two, so maybe the 
commission just didn't award those challenges.  Or maybe the 6 warriors avoiding the 
USEFUL WEAPONS knew something ahead of time.  SOLIS MILITES sent half of those avoids.  
WAND, however, of 7-0 greatness, did arrive on the sands to defend its perfect start.  
One M. CHARDINEE and 1 minute later, WAND is 8-0. Perhaps not a great test, but it 
counts!  8-0 is one impressive start no matter how it is done!
    Departing Duelmaster TANTRUM challenged RAVEN.  RAVEN knew what TANTRUM did when 
he wins fight (3 times), so RAVEN didn't waste any time and made sure TANTRUM didn't 
have a chance to add a 4th kill on its way out.  Not surprisingly, TANTRUM threw one 
after the loss.  This time there is no question that Channel Master's warrior earned 
the throne.  The last time was a mystery to all of us and one of those fights where 
the unexpected happened.  Congratulations to RAVEN.
    I see that the team rankings are a bit messed up.  Expartiate's BLEAK LEGION's 
career record is missing and ODD SQUAD's 3 turn record is missing. Hopefully the 
commission can straighten this out.
    No team stood out as a whole, so I will recognize Smithy's USEFUL WEAPONS in the 
team rankings.  Every once in awhile, the career chartered top team should be noticed 
and remembered.  Going more than 60% over 450 fights in a competitive arena is 
impressive (2-0 this turn).  Probably would be higher if Lady Smith hadn't been in 
charge for so long!
    In case anyone cares, SEAGULL was the most challenged warrior.  I will leave you 
with this.  Be careful when signing your name.  It looks bad when you do it wrong.  
People might even think you are a dumbbell.  Fortunately, people will overlook it this 
time, since it WAS done by DUMBBELL!

Not another Tantrum?! Thankfully we will not have to put up with this behavior much 
longer. The Tantrum is outta here! -- Smithy (acting rather petty and jealous)

Vipra, what was that? I guess you straightened my prongs out! You cretin! -- Pitchfork 
(noticing that the dork really bent, not straightened his implement)

Beer Barrell, I tipped you over and took my fill. -- Bumbbell

Good luck to all our FTF managers. I hope every one of your warriors went at least 1-
3. -- Smithy

OAB? Two kills? Right before the tournament? Have you been training in the Mannequin 
Method? Are you sure you are in the right arena? Sheesh! -- Smithy

Wicked?! Belinda? That's what I like about you. (wink) -- Smithy (quite the flirt)

Yes, Expatriate, I will introduce myself. I am Smithy. -- Smithy, Useful Weapons

Solamancer -- I don't mind the loss, but did you have to drop me 45 recognition 
points!?! That seemed a bit extreme. -- Rocky

Expatriate -- here is my list of teams/managers:
     Useful Weapons -- Smithy, Consortium rep
     Chamaeleon -- One Armed Bandit
     Solis Milites -- Omnimancer
     Bash Bros Ocean -- Assurnasirbanipal
     Just Desserts -- Destitute Noble
     Assassin Nation -- Ghab
     Book of Thomas -- Papaiz
     2115 Bourbon St -- Riff-Raff
     Avengers -- Huckle Cat
     The Other Ones -- Ghab
     Birds -- ???
     Cartoon Network -- Channel Master

Wasn't surprised to get the invite last turn. My challenges go to Raven and 
Solamancer, the top two Challenger Champs, as it should be! Salute! -- Tantrum

Little Jane -- Do you have a death wish?!? Revenge is a dangerous business! -- 
Wickedness

Closed Beach -- I should have known better. Are you closed due to dangerously high 
bacteria levels? I think I caught pink-eye and I've been running to the bathroom for 
teh last couple of days! Thanks a lot!!! -- Vileness

Sunstroke -- Your unorthodox methods confused me. Thought I had you, but you ended up 
the victor. Until next time! -- Charybdis

Quicksilver -- A very entertaining fight! You were a good teacher too! -- Cuthroat
