SPY REPORT
Welcome back to the Big House! I know that means prison for some of you villains, but
I mean Shadowspire! You know, the great jewel of the no tourney arenas? Of course,
you know this! Why else would you be here? Silly question and I am certain some of
your answers would frighten me, so keep them to yourselves! Let's look and see what
happened in our glorious arena this turn.
No personal ad, no Duelmaster's address, and a no-show to the arena! This is not what
being Duelmaster is about, but this is exactly what we got from Meatwood Flack! Sure,
he is off to the Isle and can't be bothered by us little people any longer, but show
some respect! Our title fight came down to Pretty Petunia and Bouvines. Petunia was
the highest-ranked warrior going into the turn, so all she had to do was hold onto
that distinction. She did it with gusto, beating Bouvines and claiming the throne.
She also got an invite to the Isle, which probably just capped the fight for our girl!
Congrats Pretty Petunia on the Duelmaster's title and immortality! I will say that we
expect you to be here next cycle and expect a Duelmaster's column too!
Big Lake Solution is the most avoided team for the turn. They were mostly avoided by
the newly returned Kill 'Em All. I typically say all of this avoiding is just
paranoia at work, but perhaps Weirdo isn't TOO crazy after all since Leeroy Jenkins is
this turn's more challenged warrior. Leeroy was challenged by the higher-ranked
Ridwan. The fight took 5 minutes, but Leeroy Jenkins was able to overcome his
opponent and improve to a 6-1 record.
More than a few managers were disappointed after today's fights. I do not think
anyone felt worse than Chad. He lost two warriors this turn. Chris Kohler challenged
down 14 points to fight Mandroid, and we will just say this was a horrible idea! It
only took 1 minute and Chris didn't even know what hit him before falling down dead
into the sands. Next, Marcia Lyons posted a challenge too. This one was up, but it
didn't matter! The outcome was the same. Roxstar killed Marcia, and while it was not
as one-sided as her teammate's fight, dead is still dead. Pray the Gods may need to
rework their offerings a bit as Sapna died today also. It was a blood feud from
Literate Loons, so perhaps the offerings were fine and the gods were just angry at
Sapna.
Mirkwood Orcs continue their rise in the arena and take over the top spot! Cult of
Bacchus rises to 2nd place, while our former top team, Big Lake Solution, slips into
3rd. Despite losing 2 warriors this turn, OHS Alumni rises in the ranks to 4th.
Darque Ages drop one to finish out our top 5. Mirkwood Orcs had the largest gain for
turn 349, and Otto's Diner, who fell 6 spots, had the largest loss.
That brings my time here to an end! I'll see you bums next turn. We are sure to have
a new Duelmaster since Pretty Petunia will be waving goodbye. There are still lots of
warriors in the Challenger Champions, so I do not even have a good guess about who
will slip into the big chair. Come back to the Big House next turn and find out!

Just a note:
Our DM writers (both staff and players) put quite a bit of effort into writing content
for the newsletters: spy reports, spotlights, and personal ads; fiction and non-
fiction. If you enjoy these, if you want more, or even if they make you laugh, it
would be kind if you could drop a personal ad or even send them a note.
Assur and Consortium, especially, put tremendous effort in Noblish Island, writing new
content and tweaking/correcting older content to help new players learn the game.
A special shoutout should also go to our varied human spy reporters in the ADM arenas,
Seam, Chimlevtal, Shadowspire, Telorinthe, and occasionallly contest arenas.
Kudos and thank you to all of our writers! I'm sure we don't thank you enough.

The short spotlights that Jorja has been writing were intended to be amusing but also
possibly to provide a jumping-off point for further fiction. If you're interested in
collaborating with a story, please contact her -- or just write it! (Let CSR know if
you need her email address.)
