No manager has sent a Piker off to immortality as of yet. We are planning an SYP SPECIAL EDITION on Turn 100, and will be running other SYP reports intermittently until then. With the help of SwineTiger, we are going to attempt a super-retro edition that will only be available via the antiquated Diplomatic Note! Thanks to all the managers for a great 75 Turns and here is to 75 more! SYP Editor DUELMASTER'S COLUMN Notes from the arena champ. Greetings from the throne. Well, as this week's matches played out I was a bit surprised. First off, 4th ranked Angel Heart decided to take another week off, one less to worry about. Then 7th ranked Bili was challenged from below and lost to Iron Smith. Thank you, Mr. Smith! That left just my guild mates, Gerth and Dunnik, who are going up against my main competition for the top spot and myself. Gracchus was matched up against Gerth and Spirewolf went for the gold challenging Dunnik. That left me the odd man out having to face a commission standby opponent. The bad thing about facing the commission's fodder is that you don't know which one till the last moment and kinda ruins any pre-fight planning you want to do. Well, Gerth was up first and he took his sweet freaking time, but after four bloody minutes of I can top that, he finally was able to take Gracchus down. I have been trying to tell him that it is much easier to take your opponent out before they hit you, but he just doesn't get it. I give my guild mate a thumbs up as he passes me headed for the healers and I head out into the arena as my name is announced. As I am taking a few practice swings I see movement at the end of the tunnel and see what looks like a five foot tall and five foot wide garbage can with arms and legs. Shaking my head to clear my vision my opponent is announced as a Khalhums Dwarf. Slowly he waddles into the arena, how the hell he didn't drop from exhaustion before reaching the center I have no idea. Hell, it would have been easier to lay him down on his side and someone roll him in. Finally reaching the center of the arena, I look down at what appears to be an extra large ale keg encased in platemail armor and somehow able to hold onto a morning star and a shield. I finally can't contain myself anymore and burst out laughing. The Arenamaster clearing his throat finally gets me to stop laughing and he motions for the battle to begin. With a big grin on my face I let loose a series of attacks and the damned trashcan man parries every single on and on the fifth attack my weapon snaps of at the hilt. I curse several choice words under my breath and toss the hilt onto the g round and pull out my backup dagger. The damn thing looks so little in my hands I expect the thing to shatter with my next attack. Amazingly, it doesn't break, but the dwarf continues his parrying demonstration. At the end of the first minute I am gasping for breath and my leg and arms muscles begin to burn. Then he has the nerve to start talking trash, calling me a worthless slug and with my next attack I finally sneak one past his defenses. In the second minute he continues talking smack, though it was hard to understand what he was saying through his dumpster. Finally I started to figure out his defense and got a devastating attack through to his left arm and I could see the desperation in his eyes and asked if he wanted me to do it again. He managed to parry the next attack, then calls me a worthless slug again. That was it! I thrust my next attack malevolently at the same spot on his left arm and connect. The wound begins to bleed profusely and he grudgingly accepts his loss and motions to the Arenamster that he can't continue. Nearly exhausted, I acknowledge the cheers of the crowd and head for the tunnel. Dunnik is waiting for me and pats me on the back, "Don't worry, I won't be losing my last fight here in Shadowspire." I find a wooden crate near the tunnel entrance to sit to catch my breath and watch my Longbeard brother's last duel in the arena. Within a minute he made good on his word and the rest is history. Your Duelmaster Corrin SPY REPORT I was going on vacation, see? Surf, sun... But what do those bums say? "Hit the road, Debby Tonte. SHADOWSPIRE needs a spyreport." Oh, well. Uncool, MONSTER MANUAL. I mean 1-4-0 is bad. Will they will be allowed to fight? I say use 'em for training practice! The guys at WHO'S YOUR MAMA like really pulled together to get a 2-1-0 this turn, moving up by 8. One team deserves special mention 'cause they moved up 7 after going 4-1-0. Keep it up, KELLUMBO'S KIDS! MVP award for CTUCHIK? UNHOLY KNIGHTS' proud of him after beating LILLEKATT and getting 20 points. Don't you think the Duelmaster is being unfair? I think CORRIN should let GREGORR be Duelmaster for a while, without fighting about it. I hear the top team insists all their warriors get nine hours sleep. They want photogenic fighters for PR photos. Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right? The warriors of THE MONGOLOIDS II must be getting lonely. They were the most avoided team. Do you guys know something that I don't? Is there some deep dark secret why LA PENTARCHIE's been avoiding THE MONGOLOIDS II so much? Or is it just that they're too scared? Like, is VACA popular, or what? He was challenged the most in all of SHADOWSPIRE! He's got a 3-1-0, is that good? For sure, I was holding my breath when I found out LORD EXETER challenged GERTH. After all, haven't DRAGONBANE GUILD and CLAN LONGBEARD had a long standing duel in SHADOWSPIRE? It wasn't a spectacular fight, or anything, but GERTH wants me to write about it since he was beat by LORD EXETER. Satisfied? CHIMERA must not be a good enough fighter to get in fair fights. He challenged BAHBI. 12 is a big difference. (Well, that's what they tell me.) I thought CHIMERA showed great skill and promise when he was defeated by BAHBI. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal! Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other! Don't you guys ever give it a break? I hear MONSTER MANUAL sent EFREETI to the Dark Arena. What, is that like not well-lit, or what? How cruel! OTTO'S DINER heartlessly sent his to GUTBUSTER certain fate in the Dark Arena. Is a 4-8-0 bad or something? Hey you guys, don't you think your families would like to hear from you? Write! (Or have someone write for you.) I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be a famous Spyreporter? I gotta leave. SHADOWSPIRE is like such a dump, and you guys smell too much!

Ack, the life of an agent. -- Agent And in the next, Head Band loses too. It will be a looooooooooooong day. -- Agent (perspiring immensely) But, somehow, we pulled out a 3-2?! AND picked up top Team On The Move! Great management! Hallelujah! -- Agent (uncorking the champagne) Uh, Oski Noble? I lost? I did??? Am I DA Cannon Fodder? Will Agent revoke my contracts? Will anyone want to give me a contract? -- Book Mark (damning Osksi, but knowing it is his own fault) Congratulations to Duelmaster Corrin. I can get you some great contracts, Pal, if you really want to earn some serious money. Call me. -- Agent Maceo -- I hate you and the ugly brown mare you rode in on! I do. -- Head Band Kimbulee -- I sure put that one close, didn't I? Closed out the match on a brilliant shot! -- Flop Shot Bahbi -- If you want to sit down at the table with the Big Boys, you need to have an understanding of the odds. Capiche? -- Limp In Serafin Gawain -- I know better than to give you the high, hard stuff, because I knew you were a sucker for ... Low And away Detective Kellumbo -- Thanks for noticing and the compliment. Thanks, too, for creating the right stimulus package to get us here. At the boss's age, he needs all the stimulus he can get! -- Agent and The capital cartels "Hi there! -- I just wanted to introduce myself, I'm Manager and I run Superior Forces NT. Happy Dueling everyone! -- Manager" ... Hey Manager, we were wondering what NT stood for ... No Testosterone? No Touchdown (Nebraska)? Nasty Technicalities? New tricks? No Tournament? -- Agent (always the curious) Nicely done, Visionist, you own that dm title, and Gerth deserves to enjoy it this turn! -- Le Pentarque Who could I challenge? Hum... the bad guys are still struggling downstairs. I predict a crappy turn 76 for La Pentarchie. To think I made ABs to chase down the scums! Actually, Latrice, I'm the no-faves-at-all kind of guy. I can't get a crit out of a weapon. But I gave some hints to Lord Exeter, who is a real warrior. -- Cariec Tom DK -- I'm quite surprised to see you don't have more pride... You are happy to see the Agent taking the top spot? You didn't want to take it from my hands yourself? About the dm100, yes, you are right, I read the fights with more interest since you undertook your campaign of challenges! I could try to retaliate a little bit though... thinking about a few (down) challenges. -- LP Manager -- Who is it? What a weird name? Arf!! I'm happy to see that the Superior Cat is a winner, but I would guess he has not the same style as the First Cat. Agent, as is typical of many agents, was full of baloney, when he thought and posted that Book Mark lost to Osksi Noble. Such a dunce. He does, however, have some redeeming qualities.
