It is I, the best aimed blow in Shadowspire! I would like to acknowledge Mr Den for the assistance on Pooh Scheuer's design. My first aimed blow climbs the ranks, to rest my airy butt on the throne! Now shut up Phil and get me a frothy pint! Tutter, pray harder. -- Pooh Scheuer SPY REPORT Welcome back to Shadowspire! It is good to see a nice collection of warriors on the sands for our games this turn. Let's get the technical stuff out of the way at the start, shall we? There were a total of 28 fights and 16 challenges. So, while there were a few inactive teams, the ones that were active were REALLY active! This is a good thing! In our 28 fights, there was a single Dark Arena challenge, 2 bloodfeuds, and finally 2 fights with arena stand-bys. Overall, it was a pretty amazing turn for all involved. Now, let's get to talking about the details! Tutter won the throne and then lost it last cycle to Pooh Scheuer. Tutter went back for the throne and perhaps wanted to serve a little vengeance on Pooh. Our title fight was set with the top Basher challenging Shadowspire's top Aimed Blow. Many of the young spy reporters and old guard type journalists like to pump up even the most boring fights. They will use terms like exciting and spectacular. Our title match was none of those things! It was one-sided and over pretty quick. When all was said, done, poked and prodded, Tutter took back the throne from Pooh Scheuer. Hail to the returning Champ! Tutter is managed by Vlad along with all the other warriors at Pray the Gods. Our turn found Darque Ages as the most avoided team. They were mostly avoided by Pray the Gods. Our popularity leader is Gray Goose. The fans love him and are constantly swarming the gates where they believe he will enter or exit the arena. There is another type of popularity in the arena, but it isn't as glamorous. No, this popularity is one where everyone wants to challenge you. Lon Pepper from OHS Alumni gets this dubious distinction this turn. Lon was the most challenged warrior, but it was Lon who got a challenge through to Rishvi, who just happens to be 9 points below him. Lon lost the fight and will probably think twice before going after another one of Vlad's warriors in the future. Three dead bodies littered the arena sands at some point during our cycle. I guess only 2 actually caught anyone by surprise. The last one was not shocking at all when Otto sent a warrior to the Dark Arena. The non-Dark Arena deaths were both challenges and both were down in the rankings. Eh, not much to report here. We see it all the time. Fraid Nought killed Arthur Miller and Korbel slaughtered Uhdar. I'm not sure if there is any history between the killers and victims, but next turn is as good as any other to get a nice long feud started between guilds! Time for me to go, kiddies! There were no new graduates, so this closing is going to be pretty standard. I like to bid farewell to new Lord Protectors, but you bums just aren't pushing them out every turn. Bah! We have a few that could possibly go next turn. I'll keep my eye out for Commission flunkies delivering the goods news. Until next time! -- Huard DePriest DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME TUTTER 3015 16 14 0 111 PRAY THE GODS (155) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME TOURS 3114 16 5 1 115 DARQUE AGES (29) GRAY GOOSE 3083 15 12 2 99 INEBRIATION (27) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ALISTAR 3037 18 14 0 93 CULT OF BACCHUS (4) M'LORD 2959 23 22 0 91 CULT OF BACCHUS (4) ALASKAN AMBER 3060 20 9 0 91 INEBRIATION (27) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME POOH SCHEUER 3099 14 9 1 87 OHS ALUMNI (183) GREASE TRAP 2998 22 16 1 83 OTTO'S DINER (96) AQUINAS 3135 11 6 0 82 DARQUE AGES (29) ASASHI 3173 8 4 0 70 PRAY THE GODS (155) -CROTLEY MOO 3071 15 11 2 69 DYSLEXIC MUSIC (182) RISHVI 3045 16 11 1 68 PRAY THE GODS (155) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME EVON 3067 17 11 0 66 CULT OF BACCHUS (4) -MEATWOOD FLACK 3070 14 12 0 64 DYSLEXIC MUSIC (182) OMAR KAYYAM 3158 8 7 0 62 DARQUE AGES (29) PAVIL 2270 16 9 0 57 CLAN LONGBEARD (39) LON PEPER 3103 11 12 0 57 OHS ALUMNI (183) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SUSIE STEFFEN 3139 10 7 1 56 OHS ALUMNI (183) TUMMY TUM TUM 3223 3 1 0 56 PRAY THE GODS (155) INNOCENT III 3204 5 3 0 55 DARQUE AGES (29) -BAT PENATAR 3075 9 16 0 53 DYSLEXIC MUSIC (182) GINSU 3181 6 6 1 53 OAKLEAF (184) WHAM! 3183 7 3 1 52 CULT OF BACCHUS (4) -PENGO 3202 4 2 1 51 THE COMMODORES (150) KRYPTONITE 3149 7 8 1 41 OAKLEAF (184) LEPER'S OTHER HAND 3171 7 6 0 40 BIG LAKE SOLUTION (178) WHING 2890 9 4 0 39 CLAN LONGBEARD (39) AVERAGE JOE 3150 9 6 0 39 OAKLEAF (184) -FLINT KNIFE 3186 6 3 0 39 THE COMMODORES (150) PRINCESS HOYT 3125 8 11 1 36 BIG LAKE SOLUTION (178) FLYING TURTLE 3201 5 3 0 36 WICKED MARTYRS (148) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME PRETTY PETUNIA 3130 8 9 0 33 CULT OF BACCHUS (4) FRAID NOUGHT 3172 4 9 2 33 BIG LAKE SOLUTION (178) TOM STOPPARD 3198 7 2 0 32 LITERATE LOONS (40) HASTINGS 3230 4 0 0 31 DARQUE AGES (29) VITRIOL 3219 4 2 0 27 WICKED MARTYRS (148) -MR.
