SPY REPORT Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport. I doubt FRATSFA will ever be the same. It seems the training can make the difference, as FLOWER GIRLS is pushed out of top team by WHERE AM I?, who came from 2nd with a 4-1-0 this turn. IRON CATHEDRAL stable has parlayed this turn's 3-2-0 into a 3 space move up the rankings. This brings them up to 3rd place. Good work, guys! The WHERE AM I? guild has had a 4-1-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You never know where this kind of thing can lead. XEENA has lost to BLEEDING MINARET, falling 10 points, while helping make THE CHOSEN ONES a 1-3-0 turn. The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and HU YAN ZHUO remains FRATSFA's top warrior for another turn. Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Victory Tavern until they win. Maybe? He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose for good reasons. My mama told me that one. FLOWER GIRLS has cause to stand tall, as they were FRATSFA's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. And guess who avoided FLOWER GIRLS stable the most? Believe it or not, it was WHERE AM I?. Anyone surprised? The most challenged warrior this turn was WHERE AM I?'s warrior SPECTRAL OSSUARY. More fighters challenged him than challenged the Duelmaster! In a brave attempt, MALICE from IRON CATHEDRAL challenged up 21 points to fight SUN QIAN from the WAH CHING stable. MALICE perhaps got hers just desserts, seeing as she defeated SUN QIAN and ended up with 60 recognition points. We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and shave it close? A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over. Consider well. Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the sweetest. It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until you see my quill in FRATSFA again, farewell-- Alarond the Scribe DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ABU JR. 2284 8 4 1 96 THE CHOSEN ONES (143) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -CHAMP CHUMP 4147 10 2 0 105 BLOOD AND GUTS!

I certainly wasn't expecting that! -- Sinister Saint Stand In -- Let us try that again. -- Vicar General Wonderful for them, but so sad for us. We will miss our old friends Zoum La Bouse and Saline Rees who were great gladiators and wonderful customers at The Flower Shoppe. We sent them gifts of silk underwear and activity chains to remind them of us. -- Lady Fern, Flower Girls A salute to Hu Yan Zhou, Fratsfa's new Duelmaster. My gals await your payoff visit to The Flower Shoppe. Haughty Holly is particularly vying for your affection. -- Lady Fern Ellis Tate -- Pleasure is never tiring. (giggle) -- Searing Sunflower Keep Of Shackles of Where Am I? -- Why you are right here feeling the pleasure and pain of interacting with ME. I had sooooo much fun in the arena, and you seemed to really get off on the pain. We will have to get together again at The Flower Shoppe. I can assure you there is more where that came from. I want you! -- Crazy Colea Xeena -- Girls just wanna have fun and I think you had the most. I like that in my ladies. We can go so far together. (smiling coquettishly) Meet me again at The Flower Shoppe and I will show you the time of your life. -- Deadly Daisy Malice -- You got the best of me and I loved every minute of it! Will I see you again, Luv? -- Searing Sunflower Happy Valentine's Day out there to all our associates, friends and customers. -- Lady Fern Salina Rees -- Good luck, but thanks for the dance before you left. -- Hidden Sun Qian -- And yes, it was necessary to deface your body with graffiti after I'd won. -- Graffiti Odd, we're not listed on the career team records, but we are on the last-three-turns records. And the numbers are even, so... who's left out? Ah, Blood and Guts. Maybe because they're inactive? Not that this MATTERS all that much, but we're in a mood to be disturbed by little things. -- those who walk the Middle Way P.S. It's been that kind of weekend. We congratulate Hu Yan Zhuo. -- Jorja and those who walk the Middle Way Another uninspiring oh-fer turn, plus the two missing team members have not yet shown up. Damn. We need to spread the burden of losing a little wider. -- Salina Rees, for the Middle Way LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS GRAFFITI was bested by URSILA RILVAR in a crowd pleasing 2 minute Challenge fight.
