SPY REPORT Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport. I doubt NIATOLI ISLAND will ever be the same. It seems the training can make the difference, as NOT A SPORT is pushed out of top team by KLKASINO HAMMERZ, who came from 3rd with a 3-2-0 this turn. And let's see, DUCK CREEK HAMMER fought PEEP and gained 24 points and contributed to KLKASINO HAMMERZ's 3-2-0. PEEP has lost to DUCK CREEK HAMMER, falling 16 points, while helping make ERRATA a 1-1-0 turn. This week's Duelmaster bout was between ARENAMASTER KAGHAL and our Duelmaster THE ANVIL, making a Dark Arena Challenge. The crowds were amazed this turn, as ARENAMASTER KAGHAL killed the Duelmaster, THE ANVIL, leaving RAVAGING LORDS in mourning. This incredible death has allowed, I might add, DUCK CREEK HAMMER from KLKASINO HAMMERZ to ascend to the throne of Duelmaster, and I hear DARK ARENA is not happy. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Don't Drop Inn uses trolls in their stew. Talk about gristle! Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' Inscrutable, but true. NOT A SPORT has cause to stand tall, as they were NIATOLI ISLAND's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. And avoiding NOT A SPORT more than any other team we find KLKASINO HAMMERZ. NIATOLI ISLAND, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace. Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. Is it really true that NIATOLI ISLAND has more dishwashers per capita that fighters? Just thought I'd ask... I like this place, NIATOLI ISLAND, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls. Who could ask for more? It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the Scribe DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DUCK CREEK HAMMER 7360 7 8 0 60 KLKASINO HAMMERZ (576) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -THE PIKER 7569 6 3 0 64 RAVAGING LORDS (44) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BEAR CREEK HAMMER 7366 8 7 0 49 KLKASINO HAMMERZ (576) -REAUX-CHAMBEAUX 7576 3 0 0 46 NOT A SPORT (624) ACE HEARTS HAMMER 7493 11 2 0 43 KLKASINO HAMMERZ (576) PEEP 7494 7 3 0 40 ERRATA (619) THE CLAW 7520 8 10 1 39 RAVAGING LORDS (44) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME WALTER 7496 4 7 0 33 ERRATA (619) HARE CREEK HAMMER 7367 6 9 0 27 KLKASINO HAMMERZ (576) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SNAKE EYES HAMMER 7593 2 0 0 23 KLKASINO HAMMERZ (576) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -THE TUSKER 7568 4 5 0 19 RAVAGING LORDS (44) -POKER 7577 2 1 0 16 NOT A SPORT (624) -POCKET 7594 1 0 0 16 NOT A SPORT (624) -SLAPJACK 7573 2 1 0 7 NOT A SPORT (624) -CHECKERS 7574 2 1 0 7 NOT A SPORT (624) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
