SPY REPORT
It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty,
and despair! He who laughs last didn't get the joke. Speaking of laughing at jokes,
observe LITERATE LOONS. Last week they got 2-3-0 to drop by 5! What's a move up by
6 you ask? (alright, maybe you didn't ask) Cause for celebration, according to
DARQUE AGES. KILL 'EM ALL posted a nice gain, to come in 5th. Everybody loves a
winner... Practice pays for SHIRLEY JACKSON, who pummelled THE REPLACEMENT, to
pocket 18 points. A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice
more, after losing 14 points to ANDURIL. (Discrete enough, JIM TULLY?) You could cut
the tension with a scimitar as GURTHANG of MIRKWOOD ORCS met the Duelmaster.
GURTHANG found out that SHADOWSPIRE isn't a democracy. You've gotta be the best to
be Duelmaster here! So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and
challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic problem...
My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter.
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights! Like the noble eagle soaring amongst
the mountaintops, so stand the warriors of KILL 'EM ALL, alone and unchallenged. As
a woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of PRAY THE GODS, so did that sorry
team shy from KILL 'EM ALL Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and MAGE DAN is it
right now. Most challenged warrior. Isn't WICKED MARTYRS proud! Willing to win at
any cost is LEEROY JENKINS, who challenged MAGE DAN, 11 points junior. Our
sympathies, MAGE DAN! I thought LEEROY JENKINS showed great skill and promise when
he subdued MAGE DAN. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.
Like a tattered, worn-out, faded, out-of-fashion garment cast out to rot, MERA of
CULT OF BACCHUS has been summarily sent to the Dark Arena. Ask not for whom the
sword slashes; it slashes for thee.
Do not think spyreporting in SHADOWSPIRE is the highlight of my life. My
fingers tire and I fear my incessant prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my
impeccable character. Do not despair! I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Well another 4-1 turn, good start I suppose. Not sure this team has long term
potential so I'll be watching the training of these guys and if they start to waiver
I'll have to send them to the dark arena. My favorite warrior outside of ADM was
killed in a random matchup against a warrior he had beaten handily several times
before. I'm mystified how a masters in initiative fails to attack at all in a fight
where the winner actually hesitated in the opening seconds and let an attack pass him
by..I mean, one attack even dodged would have been more respectable than getting
slaughtered in less than a second without even one attack. Made worse to be sure that
he was the duelmaster at the time and quite possibly heading to adm afterwards.
Instead he will have to suffer the indignity of a dead tourney where everyone will
laugh at the mockery of life the dead provide and will no doubt get slaughtered yet
again by others who met his fate in the same fashion. I haven't yet gotten a decent
Parry lunge style to adm. Two now have been killed as champions, this was my first
duelmaster to get killed. His stats were not even bad. 7-8-10-17-17-9-17 yeah he would
have eventually been yet another bit of cannon fodder for the aimed blows of adm, but
at least he would have been nice to look at... sigh. -- Eli
Tomahawk -- Well fought, till we meet again. -- Xobias
Finlegh -- Congrats on your invite and schooling me on your exit from the arena. --
Ulrich
The Limper -- A couple months later and the same results. -- Uhkant
Aeglos -- Arghh, I could have won and I could have died. It was so close! -- Zagrid
Agave -- You are a tough cookie. Your training should be of great help. -- Zehdea
Congrats to Snollygoster on your invite to the Isle. -- Clan Longbeard
Visionist -- Update on the mighty Sye the Bearded, he fought for years in Storm Rock
where he was occasionally Champion of the Horn, but not for any extended period of
time. He skilled out and I did a poor job of watching his skill count so he overshot
physical increases and was inducted into Primus where he is happily retired. Good
things happen to those that deserve it. -- Den
Eli -- What team do you run? I need to know so I can challenge you and get very easy
wins. -- Den
Shadowspire -- I did it again, had a warrior die and am fighting on maintenance so I
will be fighting my team short. My apologies as that is against the charter we all
agreed to. The replacement is actually at least average which is better than normal
for this arena, so I had a good chance at a win. -- Den
