It is truly a milestone as the premier and first No Tournament Arena reaches 300!  So, 
let me welcome you to the turn 300 report.  I know it is turn 302!  I do apologize for 
the delay, but news and golems being what they are, we can only do so much as 
reporters.  What better way to celebrate our anniversary than to take a look at 
Shadowspire's best and brightest?!?!  We can also throw a few nods to our worst and 
smelliest!  Managers need not apply, we are putting the focus on the warriors today, 
though there will probably be many cases of "guilt by association" in these lists.

Today we will take a look at a number of categories related to our fair arena.  Stats 
and records shared in this report will cover only turns 1 through 301.  With 301 turns 
under our belts, we have quite the collection of data points, and out data pool only 
continues to grow.  Most of these categories are self-explanatory as they declare 
certain warrior and team achievements.  For categories such as "Best" or "Worst", a 
brief explanation will precede the lists.

**CATEGORY 1 -- DUELMASTER

1A.  BY STYLE -- Striker (58); Lunger (56); Total Parry (48); Wall of Steel (26); 
Aimed Blow (23); Slasher (22); Basher (21); Parry Riposte (18); Parry-Lunge (14);

**CATEGORY 7 -- BEST WARRIOR BY STYLE

This distinguished group is the very BEST that Shadowspire has to offer.  They are 
ranked according to their win/loss record when they received their invitation to the 
Isle of the Eye.  It is a straight-forward and objective method for recognizing  
Shadowspire's elite warriors and managers.  We at the SYP know there are many factors 
that tie into a warrior's success upon the sands, but we have no means of measuring 
every variable.  What we can do; however, is calculate who makes it out of the arena 
as a Lord Protector and their concrete success on that road to immortality.

I think I will hold off on the WORST category this time.  This milestone is supposed 
to be a happy occasion, so why introduce all the negativity into it.  As always, 
thanks to each of you for making Shadowspire great!  I hope these records motivate a 
few of you to strive harder or even take aim at a particular goal.  Challenge 
yourselves to be the best that our arena has to offer.  Fight, scheme, and conquer to 
be the best upon the sands and in the glorious journals of the SYP Record Books.  Good 
luck to each of you for the next 100 turns (technically 98, but it doesn't sound as 
dramatic)!

                                      SPY REPORT

     Good afternoon, duel fans!  It is me, Huard DePreist, here to give you all the 
news you need for Shadowspire turn 302!  You've probably noticed the SYP Special that 
my boss published this turn.  He has been breathing down my neck the whole week, so 
I've had to look busy!  It probably isn't good that I just wrote that down for all to 
see, but there isn't an easy way to erase this ink once it has been put to parchment!  
So, let's take a look at our arena's action!

     Benjamin has been enjoying the throne for the last 2 turns.  It has not been a 
bad reign, considering we rarely get Parry Ripostes in the big seat.  He has been 
enjoying the time, but still no word from the Commission about him going to the Isle 
of the Eye.  In the meantime, we fight!  Dante has steadily climbed through the ranks 
and decided now was his time to take a shot for the throne.  It looks as if his timing 
was juussst right!  DANTE (81-3002) (11-9-2,93) of DARQUE AGES challenged BENJAMIN 
(81-2905) (20-13-0,116) of WICKED MARTYRS.  DANTE won victory over BENJAMIN in a 2-
minute veteran's Challenge Title duel.  Debby says she saw a tear in Dante's eye as he 
was declared the champion.  I asked him about it and he said, "No! Sand was in my 
eyes!" 

     The most avoided team for the turn is Kill 'Em All and they were mostly avoided 
by Pray the Gods.  Kill 'Em All had a nice turn if you are just looking at the 
numbers, but we call this a paper tiger around the office.  4-1-1 will certainly get 
you some attention, but not the kind you probably want in this racket... I mean game!  
Kill 'Em All only had 2 quality fights in which they racked up a 1-1 record.  The 
other three were 2 down challenges and an arena standby.  I might want my money back 
if I was a paying fan.  That's as disappointing as going to a circus sideshow and 
discovering they have a bearded man!  Pray the Gods had a respectable 3-2-0 and most 
consisted of quality fights. Quality is so much more important than quality in the 
arena.  I get paid by the word, so we just completely ignore that logic in the spy 
reporting racket... argh, I mean game!

     Since the boss is here, I feel obliged to note the down challenges and ridicule 
them.  I personally don't care except in regards to the reporting perspective, but the 
boss has to have some Andorian blood in there somewhere.  Or, more than likely, he's 
spending too much time around that softy Sidara in Seam.  Either way, blah, blah, 
shame on you guys and whatnot!  Sower Mood challenged down and beat Alistar.  I have 
alluded to Kill 'Em All already, but more specifically Terminator challenged down 30 
points and killed poor Mrs. Bacon.  I thought everyone liked bacon?  The most 
challenged warrior for the turn was Dante, our newest Duelmaster.  I am not sure if 
those that challenged him are sad or relieved at this moment?!?!

     There were 9 deaths this turn, but most of them came via the Dark Arena.  Five 
deaths to be exact were Dark Arena deaths, and most of them were new recruits with the 
exceptions of Magna Carta and Skara Brae.  Another death was an arena standby, 
Convicted Thief.  Maybe this fate will serve as a deterrent to other thieves.  The 
three other deaths involved a new recruit from War Machine, Dracilia from Cult of 
Bacchus, and the aforementioned Mrs. Bacon.

     Alright, time for me to split!  The boss is giving me the stink eye because I'm 
taking longer than usual to push this report out the door.  I like it better when he 
stays at the office and leaves me to my own devices.  Bleh!  Whatever!  Let him read 
it!  I'm not saying anything I haven't voiced in the office on numerous occasions!  
I'll see you guys and gals next turn!
