                                      SPY REPORT

     I don't even know how to open this spy report.  I'm looking over the names of all 
the warriors in the arena and it is hard to take it all seriously.  Captain Fizz, 
Fuzzy Wuzzy, and so on and so forth! What is this?  Are we an arena filled with 
warriors or cutesy named weaklings?  You want to fight and possibly die for your 
chance at honor or do you want to become rich off of endorsement deals and selling 
cheap products in the arena?  You know what, I've answered my own question.  Lap of 
luxury from peddling some junk or permanent limp from an old sword wound?  Carry on 
gentlemen and gentlewomen!

     Captain Fizz, oh what a name!  It screams of sugary-filled glass bottles and 
comfortable royalty checks!  He has been our Duelmaster for a few turns now, and it 
doesn't look like he is growing tired of the title.  Well, like it or not, he leaves 
after fight next turn due to graduating to ADM.  But for this turn, he had the chance 
to defend his seat against Ginsu, which isn't much of a match up.  But, it was a 
bloodfeud, so all is fair in love and attempted impalement for revenge!  Congrats once 
again to Captain Fizz, who is still managed by Hombre.

     The most avoided team for turn 311 is Kill 'Em All once again. Avoiding them the 
most is Pray the Gods . . . once again.  What in the 13 Hells?!  Really, again?!?  At 
least the most challenged warrior changes from turn to turn.  Ah, here we go, Pretty 
Petunia was the most challenged warrior.  She was challenged by Slack Babbath.  It was 
1-minute bout but well fought by both warriors.  Pretty Petunia gets the win! 

     Kill 'Em All climbs into the number one position with a 12-3-0 record over the 
last 3 turns.  It seems the squads 5-0-0 was very helpful in moving from 3rd to 1st 
place.  The Commodores slip a spot into second, while OHS Alumni climb to 3rd.  Cult 
of Bacchus sits in the 4th spot, and Oakleaf lays claim to the turn's biggest gains 
moving from 10th to 5th.  Big Lake Solution fell down to 7th place. Their 3 spot drop 
is the biggest loss for turn 311.

     Five deaths for the turn, but 3 of them in the Dark Arena. Darque Ages sent two 
warriors, and those fights ended as expected with the Dark Arena "monsters" 
victorious.  Otto's Diner sent Miso Honey, but she came back after slaughtering Black 
Orc.  Will she go back to the Dark Arena next turn or will Otto give her a reprieve?  
On the regular arena sands, Sailor Jerry of Inebriation fought his first and last 
fight on turn 311.  He was killed by Croak M'Dam.  Also, arena veteran Lord British 
has fought his last fight, falling to the blade of Rutu Parna.

     I've just been handed an anonymously authored note.  It says, to make up for the 
corrupted style data pool, everyone should just post their warriors' styles next turn.  
It is nearly illegible and written in crayon.  Your guess is as good as mine to the 
author's identity.  I assume this is in response to Blitz Wolfer's personal ad.  I 
would just ignore that note completely if I were you, but hey, I'm not your life 
coach.  If I were, things would be looking up for you!  Anyway, time to go.  See you 
next turn!

Tomahawk hit on head in battle.  Tomahawk have terrible vision.  Tomahawk see green 
hilltop with Great Oak growing out of earthen soil.  Tomahawk hear booming voice enter 
mind.  Tomahawk cover head and cower in fear.  Great Oak speaks to Tomahawk of those 
here without sound moral compass.  Tomahawk see a man, no.. a manager appear before 
Great Oak.  Tomahawk see image of Vlad.  Tomahawk think Vlad is shady.

Head's up!  Someone entered incorrect fighting styles for a couple of my warriors in 
Terrablood.  It wasn't me!  Don't know if it was inadvertent, or if the data pool is 
widely spoiled, but just be careful about trusting it. -- Blitz Wolfer, mgr Dyslexic
