SPY REPORT
While we are not a tourney arena and certainly not a tourney powerhouse, because
of the heavy focus on tourneys within the dueling community, I always like to be able
to report on how our arena did... 10 warriors hailing from Chimlevtal entered the
tourney. One in Contenders, one in ADM, two in Challengers, two in Initiates, and
four in Apprentices. All total, as an arena, we went 29-30. Not very impressive at
all, but at least we can know that against the very best warriors from all arenas, we
hold our own. Unfortunately, (or maybe fortunately for those who don't want to get TV
challenged), we didn't have any warriors reach the runoffs. The best showing was TIRE
IRON of USEFUL WEAPONS, who went 6-3 in Apprentices. Every warrior but one won at
least one fight. He knows who he is, so no need to call him out...
RESENTMENT took a shot at the throne. Obviously making the challenge, he was able
to go in prepared as well as possible to beat an AB, but BAKERS 7 just did the AB
thing and quickly took down RESENTMENT. RESENTMENT was on the cusp of graduation,
though, and just had to stay in the challenger champs to get the PP's needed to
graduate. Congrats to both BAKERS 7 (for the throne) and RESENTMENT (for surviving to
win immortality).
BOOK OF THOMAS and BUSHMASTERS both returned to the sands this turn. The tourney-
focused BOOK OF THOMAS is likely prepping for next time and went 3-0 outside of the
DA. BUSHMASTERS had a rough return, going 1-3 outside the DA. And I will report that
SHADOW LORDS appeared on the sands, but every once in a while, some clown finds old
records and comes to the commission on fight day and has just enough info to let them
pass into the sands with false credentials. I haven't heard which the case is this
time, but I have my suspicions.
And for those that enjoy such things, we have some undefeated streaks going!
MISSISSIPPI QUEEN, TIRE IRON, and WRATH are 3-0, 5-0, and 3-0. All three are near the
top of the Challenger Initiates, so the first testing will likely be coming soon, but
you can't get to a large undefeated start without winning those early fights! And it
doesn't matter how many stand ins you fight, either! Undefeated is undefeated! Take
them however you can get them!!!
Once again, the awards were split across the arena. As is often the case,
maintaining that Current Top Team award is a challenge. WHAMMO & THUDDA 4U! easily
held on to the award this time, but they'll need to work to keep it going into next
turn. Three wins on the turn was the most any team did. USEFUL WEAPONS was also 3-0,
but without the DA.
My second favorite fight of the cycle was CHARYBDIS vs SEAGULL! CHARYBDIS sent a
challenge and these two walls of steel clashed for three minutes in a very good fight!
I was sad to see the fight end, but with that much blood... That win put CHARYBDIS in
the challenger champion class for the first time.
In the typical stuff spies are supposed to report, 13 warriors sent 25 avoids.
USEFUL WEAPONS was the most avoided team (with 5 avoids sent to them), but WHAMMO &
THUDDA 4U!, THE OTHER ONES, and 2212 BOURBON ST each received 4 avoids. WHAMMO &
THUDDA 4U! was the most avoiding team, sending 2 of the 5 to USEFUL WEAPONS. No
warrior was reported to me as being the most challenged, so I'll give that title to
ERADICATE, who has started his career winless at 0-3.
Finally, my favorite fight of the cycle! LASAGNA lost number 3 in a row! That is
4 of the last 5 fights in the loss column! What more can a gal ask for!? Oh, that's
right. Aim for the head!!!
-- until next time, Belinda, signing off, who is very sad that the dead listings
will begin empty next turn (or maybe that is opportunity calling?)

Mr. Assur and Belinda, out of character, I must say, that was one fine and well-done
spy report (T507). Kudos. -- Smithy (forced to compliment by his Consortium
associates)
Da Zagagna, is that all you've got? -- Wand
Sparrow, you came flying by, and I swiped a double down the left field line. Life is
sweet! -- Baseball Bat (not from a West Coast Team)
Just to make Belinda and Co. happy, (And, boy do I keep her happy!) I send Tire Iron
to the FTF. I expect little from Tire Iron, but lots (wink) from Belinda. -- Smithy
