SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in ERINIKA this turn, and let's start
with a look at some of the teams. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there
are sorrows to drown for BASH BROS WASTE, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 7
into 9th. THE BULLS stable has parlayed this turn's 2-0-0 into a 4 space move up the
rankings. This brings them up to 5th place. Good work, guys! The ALPHABET SOUP
guild has had a 3-0-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You never know
where this kind of thing can lead. And let's see, THE BIG BANG fought TURKEY VULTURE
and gained 24 points and contributed to THE BEGINNING's 1-0-0. TURKEY VULTURE has
lost to THE BIG BANG, falling 21 points, while helping make WORLDWIDE GORE a 2-3-0
turn. F.U.B.A.R. challenged for the Duelmastership this turn, attempting to dethrone
MIDDLE WAY 18's warrior. We should ask F.U.B.A.R. about the thrill of victory, and
what being the new Duelmaster does for a warrior, he's now the one to ask. By the
way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The
Swinging Aardvark?
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one. DARQUE WATERS has cause to stand tall,
as they were ERINIKA's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to
beat. And guess who avoided DARQUE WATERS stable the most? Believe it or not, it
was WORLDWIDE GORE. Anyone surprised? The most challenged warrior this turn was
MIDDLE WAY 18's warrior RAEMOND PURR. More fighters challenged him than challenged
the Duelmaster!
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. We'd like to remind certain teams
not to rob the graves of their enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered
rude.
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. 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
