SPY REPORT
When last we met, the throne was empty! When the matchups were announced, it
looked like RESENTMENT was heading for the throne. OCTOPUS drew an Aimed Blow and
LITTER BLASTER drew a stand in. RESENTMENT did get the job done, but was awarded only
2 recognition for beating the lower ranked SEAGULL. Meanwhile, BAKERS 7, pulled the
upset and leaped over RESENTMENT in the rankings, gaining 20 recognition by beating
OCTOPUS. Surprisingly, WAND also pulled ahead of RESENTMENT by making a big mess of
LASAGNA and being awarded 22 recognition. I'm good with BAKERS 7 taking the throne by
beating one of the two top ranked warriors. But it seems a bit extreme for RESENTMENT
to only get 2 recognition. Though I suppose beating LASAGNA deserves a little extra
credit. That is 2 losses in a row for the messy dish and 3 out of 4 losses in the last
4 turns. Do we have a new normal?!? Wouldn't that make my day!!!!
BIRDS did house cleaning. Getting rid of GOLDFINCH, WREN, and BLUEBIRD and hoping
for better recruits. Perhaps some bigger birds are in order? Ones that are known
fighters?!? Perhaps it is time to bring out a Cassowary, Ostrich, Emu, or
Lammergeier?
Four challenges this turn, two by THE OTHER ONES and one each by WHAMMO & THUDDA
4U! and USEFUL WEAPONS. All four challenges were successful and don't think I didn't
enjoy the two downchallenges, courtesy of FORTY WINKS and BASEBALL BAT.
A surprising number of stand ins fought this turn. Five total in fourteen fights!
Fortunately for the managers, the stand ins did their jobs well this turn and took the
easy outs! It is always upsetting for managers to lose to the stands ins. Even worse
when they kill a prized fighter! It happens, but not today.
The awards were spread out pretty well. In spite LASAGNA's recent losing ways,
WHAMMO & THUDDA 4U!, the rest of LG's team has been close to perfect the last three
turns (11-1 for the rest of them). That easily earned them the current top team
award. THE OTHER ONES crushed the Team on the Move award with 41 recognition! Each
of these two teams went 4-1 this turn, which even with all the stand ins didn't leave
a lot of wins for the rest.
USEFUL WEAPONS was avoided the most. THE OTHER ONES and WHAMMO & THUDDA 4U! each
sent two avoids. BROKEN GLASS was the most challenged warrior. I know Assur plays
his own way, but BROKEN GLASS looks challenged in more ways than one! Perhaps BROKEN
GLASS should go the way of the birds?!?
As I review this report, I notice I've mentioned a team or warrior from every team
except JUNGLE CRUISE 2! So to close out my report, I'll note that NILE PRINCESS beat
BLOODTHIRST, ruining THE OTHER ONES' attempt to be perfect on the turn.
We have a tourney coming up! Perhaps we'll see a surprise from our small arena?!?
I can only hope! Perhaps Destitute Noble has a bunch of ringers that have been
waiting for just this moment and that is why he has been absent?!? Probably not, but I
truly believe Chimlevtal is underrated!

NAME CHANGE-O-RAMA
The gladiator known as Pretty in Pink Johnson came into the guildhouse in a
state of excitement that sat oddly on his large battered face. "There are goats on
the lawn outside the Commission office!"
His teammate Slinky Silver raised a languid eyebrow. "So?"
"That means a name-change coming! I can finally change my name to Pinkerton and
get some respect!"
"As badly as you fight, who will respect you?" his teammate asked.
"With a new name, I will fight better, just wait, you'll see. Because I will
respect myself!"
Slinky shook his head. "Circular reasoning won't help. You need more
managerial attention."
"If my name isn't embarrassing, I'll GET more attention.
Slinky shook his head again. "You're expecting a lot of a couple of goats that
may have been hired to manage the landscaping."
