SPY REPORT
Annnnddd, here we go again with the GREATEST spy report and spy reporter in the
land giving you a rundown of all the news that's worthy to print! Welcome back to The
Spire! It is I, the ever-humble Huard DePriest, that will be taking you on this
magical journey. So, strap into your arena seats and make note of the nearest exits
in case of an emergency. In the event of a splashdown, any unconscious neighbor can
be used as a flotation device. Well, I'd avoid the dwarves, they tend to sink like
rocks. Let's get down to it, shall we?
We can start where we also start with the Duelmaster. A new guy or gal was sure
to come into the big chair since the previous title-holder, Mandroid was heading off
for the Isle (congrats once again). You would like to see a challenge or six for the
throne, but we get stuck with a random matchup for the greatest honor in the greatest
no tournament arena! Sheesh, you guys are something else! Anyway, Finlegh beat
Mandroid, and what did we get out of it? A t-shirt? No! A Duelmaster's column? No!
Well, so long Mandroid, nice knowing you, ya bum! Congrats to Finlegh, who better
write a column next turn or I'm going to give Weirdo a kazoo and let him serenade the
arena for 3 hours!
Now it is time for the pertinent information. I am sad to say that Pray the Gods
are inactive this turn, so their streak for the biggest down challenge is now broken.
We'll see in a moment who takes up the mantle and starts their own streak.
Total Fights: 43
Dark Arena Fights: 9 (8-1 for the DA this turn)
Blood Feuds: 0
Challenge Fights: 15 (9-6-1 for the Challengers)
Biggest Down Challenge: 31 points
COTTON MOUTH was outwaited by SCRIPTORIA in a 12-minute expert's Challenge
duel.
Biggest Up Challenge: 37 points
RAT CATCHER luckily beat JAMES DICKEY in a popular 4-minute expert's
Challenge match.
Most Humble Spy Reporter - Huard DePriest, the Greatest EVER
As you can see from the stats above, I'm the GREATEST and the most humble among
the lowly spy reporters of this realm. Oh yeah, there were some fights too. Not as
many challenges as I would have expected. My guess is everyone is focused on that
tourney thing. We don't have much use for that around here, or at least people put
their aspirations in check until they get to AD. Inebriation wins the biggest down
challenge recognition, but they also get the honor of being the first to lose it since
we started noting it in the spy report (a whole 3 turns). Congrats to Philthy, I
guess . . .
Pray the Gods was the most avoided. Jumping at ghosts, are we? Kill 'Em All
avoided them the most, which after seeing Pray the Gods have a 2-turn streak of
biggest down challenge, who can blame them? Both Barrels was the most challenged
warrior, but it looks like Blackhart sent him packing to the Dark Arena. We did have
one warrior walk back out of the Dark Arena, but it was NOT Both Barrels. Robby
Wagner gets the turn's distinction as luckiest warrior after killing High Elf.
I think that is enough news to swallow for the moment. Finlegh! Write a
Duelmaster's Column for gods' sake! To the rest of you, write some personal ads. If
Tomahawk's knuckle-draggin' crayon scratch can make it to the editor in time, I know
the rest of you are capable. I mean, I THINK most of you are capable. I know words
are hard for many of you and sentences might as well be a lengthy scientific equation
written in the language of the gods, but put some effort into it! Come back and see me
next time. I know I don't want to miss what I have to say!
-- Huard DePriest

PERSONAL ADS
Well, that was a crash and burn of epic proportions. :( -- Mirkwood Orcs
I guess it's time for me to go over think last turns problems and dig the hole deeper.
It's what I do. -- Boss Orc
Darque -- Thanks for keeping my spot warm, champ. -- Weirdo
Tomahawk hit Mangonel on head in battle. Tomahawk make Mangonel see a few visions of
his own. Spectators cringe and look away as Tomahawk lay waste to Darque's Waste.
Tomahawk think warrior should be named Mangled instead. Tomahawk let Mangled Mongrel
live... this time. Tomahawk think Mangonel should count lucky stars.
Drake -- I want you to know that I think you're doing a bang up job with your
warriors. Monuntial was a storied arena and you are a worthy addition to our
dysfunctional family here in Shadowspire. Now you look like a man who likes a good
challenge, so in the true fighting spirit of the games, I hope you don't mind one
coming your way... at some point... maybe... *winces* What team do you run again? --
Weirdo
All -- Please note that I attempted to run my NEW warrior last turn, but the
Gladiatorial Commission clearly had more important things to do than to look up the
ID# of my NEW warrior. Instead, I received paperwork for a soaking wet hosed off
warrior. My apologies. I shall endeavor to run my full team this turn (and hopefully
with better results). -- Weirdo
For the Cincy FtF, Mannequin/Crip are organizing a visit to the Great American Ball
Park on the Friday night (16 Jul, 7:10 start time) to watch the Reds/Brewers game. If
interested, please contact Crip through gwerner - @ - twcny dot rr dot com. Because
of Covid, tickets are being sold in specific pods, so if 8 people want to go, we may
have to sit in two different groups. Please respond by 1 May if interested so we can
pre-purchase the tickets. -- Crip & Mannequin
Drake -- Honestly little fella, you talk way too much. Just say a few pertinent
things and people will pay attention better. Some don't even like talking, which is
why Vlad has a friend made out of latex, she never talks. -- Den
Weirdo -- I don't think anyone even knows, what team do you run here again? - Den
Chad -- Good to see the great Ricky Schmidt in action. He would be proud, if he could
read. -- Den
Philthy Phil -- Congratulations on yet another Teams on the Move award. The great
alliances in Alastari gauge their accomplishment by number of awards, and we own all
categories, for we are great. Keep fighting the good fight. -- Den
