                                      SPY REPORT

Recently we have been accused of partisanism in the Spy Reports.  The Yellow Press is 
appalled by such an accusation.  We have been in Shadowspire since the beginning with 
our first report being published on Turn 2.  But, in the interest of taking all 
criticism with some modicum of grace, I want to present to you the new "Fair and 
Balanced" Spy Report for Shadowspire!

In response to a meandering, "You're either with us or against us!" speech by Den a 
few turns previously, The Empress Wu let it be known that she is whole-heartedly 
against the AA by bloodfeuding Havana Black.  While typically bloodfeuds are relegated 
to the 4th or 5th page of our publication, this bloodfeud also had the pleasure of 
being a title match!  The Empress Wu defeated Havana Black in a blood feud title shot.  
The Empress Wu maintains that she is a strong, independant woman and will "punch their 
teeth in with a shield" if anyone wants to press her on the issue.  Congrats to The 
Empress Wu and condolences to Havana Black!  The question on everyone's mind is, will 
we see a rematch next turn?

Dragonbane Guild avoided Inebriation the most for the turn.  Rumors have swirled about 
alcohol addiction in the Inebriation guild house for years.  The SYP is still waiting 
for our information requests to be answered from the Shadowspire officials.  We have 
requested arrest records for public intoxication and riding horseback while impaired, 
and various other alcohol related charges.  Nothing but the facts for you fine folks 
and The Yellow Press promises to get to the bottom of it!  The other facts for the 
turn include Thrax from Warmasters challenged down in recognition by 2 points to No-
Teeth Keith of Shanghaied.  No-Teethe Keith killed Thrax and leaves Warmasters with 
the task of recruiting a new warrior for next cycle.  The debate will rage on this one 
as to whether it was actually a down challenge.  Sure, it was down by 2 points, but it 
was up by 6 FE.  What says the masses?

Now, some more of those pesky facts as we seek to be "Fair and Balanced": the AA wins 
the down challenge award again this turn.  Old Mill of Inebriation challenged down 15 
points and 9 FE to fight Two-Ton Timmons of Shanghaied.  The only redeeming quality of 
a fight this caliber is Old Mill lost!  War Machine, Warmasters, and From the Left 
also posted down challenges, but each of those bring us back to the above debate 
concerning arena recognition and FE, so I only mention them in passing.

Death, death, and more death.  It is a fact that no one gets out of this life alive, 
so be sure to live a little.  Shadowspire was quite bloody this turn with 10 deaths.  
The majority of those came via the Dark Arena, but the warriors are no less dead than 
if they died by any other means.  Den sent his 3 top warriors to the Dark Arena, two 
of which had winning records.  Callamytie of Doom Brigade bids farewell to arms and 
life as he was put down by Wilt the Stilt of NBA Legends.  This death coincides with 
Doom Brigade's sending of Fenn and Vilbradr to the Dark Arena.  Big Lake Outcasts and 
Doom Brigade will be sporting many new warriors next turn, so luck to you both in the 
recruiting process.

The top 3 teams remained unchanged as Cult of Bacchus, Warmasters, and Inebriation 
hold on to the top 3 coveted positions for one more turn.  The tiny sliver of 1 kill 
separates Warmasters and Inebriation, each sitting at 10-5-0 for the last 3 turns.  
Kudos go to Shanghaied as they went 5-0-1 this turn, improving their already 
impressive overall record to 35-20-1.  I am impressed you made it to 35 victories 
before registering your first kill.  Congrats to Blackhart!  With the 5-0-1 turn, 
Shanghaied also jumped into the top 5, moving up 6 spots from 10th to 4th.  La 
Pentarchie rose 8 spots to 11th following a 3-0 turn.  Send in the new recruits, Le 
Pentarque!  NBA Legends also climbed 8 places to take over the 15th position.  New 
team, From the Left, on their 2nd turn in Shadowspire improved upon their 2-3 opener 
to go 3-2 and march up the ranks to 16th.  The biggest drops this turn came from Big 
Lake Outcasts and Bone Munchers.  They each fell 5 places respectively, taking over 
the 18th and 19th positions.

Remember my words, I, Phineas Rannulf, Senior Editor for The Yellow Press, Head 
Reporter for the Shadowspire division, vow to report the "Fair and Balanced" news to 
you good citizens.  Or not, it really depends on which golems are working correctly 
each week.  My nephew Abe has given me 2 new reporting golems.  One has TMZ stamped on 
its forehead, and the other is marked with The Onion.  I am not sure what either of 
those stamps mean, but it would be rude not to use them at some point.  Until next 
time, I bid you farewell on behalf of The Yellow Press and the Commission. 

                                          -- Phineas Rannulf

All -- I am Shadowthrone, manager of From the Left.  I am here to spread the vast 
wisdom of the progressive movement.  My warriors represent the very best of our 
concepts and tactics.  Unfortunately, there are a few ignorant hold-outs who insist on 
denying the cold hard facts on which the Left has built its foundation.  
     Can you believe there are those who will deny that trees have feelings, animals 
conceptualize, and rich people are inherently evil?  What idiots, eh?  These same 
fools cling to such out-dated ideals as liberty and limited government.  They even 
refuse to accept that all the world's problems are America's fault.  Never fear, 
comrades, I shall do my best to root out these deviant morons and destroy them.  Soon 
we shall all be proud again.  We will march in unison in our drab gray jumpsuits to 
our assigned factory work stations and we shall laugh at the memory of these nitwits.  
Join me, comrades! -- Shadowthrone

For your Yuletide bloodletting pleasure, sung to the tune of "Winter Wonderland."

Slay bells ring, are ya listenin'?
Beneath the moon, blood is glistenin'!
A grisly sight, we're happy tonight,
Watchin' all the Dark Arena fights!

In the daytime we can catch the action,

as the Duelmaster defends his crown!
All the criticals and bloody drama,
and if you're nasty you can challenge down!

Later on, by tavern fire,
managers, they'll conspire,
to face unafraid, the challenges made,
Duelin' in that Alastari land!

Wishing all good D2 managers a Happy Holidays!

-- Stik and Grim Fandango of Sunset

Den -- Well, it's official; not only are you a pansy, but you're a sniveling whinny 
snitch, and you've pretty much lost all of my respect.  Oh, wait; there wasn't any to 
begin with. -- Scorpio *sending a smile toward Keyoke*

Den -- It's ture I called you a coward and for that I apologize.  My words were hasty 
and ill-considered.  What I should have called you was a hero.  It occurred to me 
that, while on the surface your choice of "Down-challenged" opponents has 
traditionally been suspect, you have in fact tirelessly given your time and experience 
to those you believe to be in most desperate need of these qualities from someone with 
a far more comprehensive body of gladitorial experience than they themselves possess.  
Through this process of 'paying it forward,' you have proven yourself 
(unintentionally, I'm sure) to be the type of persont those of us who have been 
playing this game longer should strive to be more like:  a paragon of altruistic 
virtue.  You have, by doing this, up-challenged us all to be better people, both in 
our shared game world and in life.  Thank you. -- Keyoke

Kareem -- I bet you thought you had that fight locked up?  Surprise! -- Krow

Hakuna Frittata -- Just because I'm named after an AA manager, doesn't mean I'm a 
pushover! -- Baby Crambus

Monoceros -- Is that how you remember it? -- Ringo Deathstar

Have a great Holiday Season managers of Shadowspire! -- DeGotti

Dicky Tourville -- Come back for more! -- Monoceros

Swaygen -- A good, close, fight! -- Armageddon

Old Mill -- That fight took a lot outta me -- like about 2 quarts of valuable fluids!  
Still, though I left my blood on the sand, I managed to limp off with victory.  My 
next fight is at night.  Maybe that will go better. -- Quark

Credits -- You ned to teach better skills! -- Astri

Two-Ton Timmons -- Did you come out of your coma in time to watch my patented victory 
dance? -- Eclipse

Den -- Enjoyed the spotlight.  Few managers write them any more.  Keep 'em coming. --
