SPY REPORT
Sigh . . . Welcome back to The Spire. Fights and blood and other stuff. I mean if
you are into that kind of thing, which I totally am! Yeah, it is time to take a look
at the best arena in Alastari or wherever we are - I know we are far to the south, but
are we still in Alastari? Where is Jorja when I need her? Anyway, time to take a
look at all the arena action from today's games.
Crown Vanilla stays on top of the arena after another victory over Spekt. It wasn't a
challenge this time. A random match-up brought us our title fight, but the result
remained the same. Crown Vanilla wins! CV finally caught the eye of enough people at
the Commission to get an invitation to the Isle too. Philthy and the boys will have
lots to celebrate this evening! Congrats to CV, Duelmaster, and now the newest Lord
Protector crowned in The Spire!
To mix it up a little bit, Pray the Gods avoided the most today, or at least, they
avoided our most avoided team the most. Mostly? The mostly? Eh, this writing thing
gets weird when you break from the regular formula. Big Lake Solution was the most
avoided team, which if none of that made sense to you, congrats, there is a likelihood
you're normal! Probably not, but I like to give hope. The most challenged warrior
turns out to be Mutombo from the NBA Legends squad. Jihl Blazefury posted the
challenge, and it was a LOOONNGG fight, going 25 minutes. Mutombo eventually
prevailed, but he and Jihl were the least popular fighters for the entire turn.
BY THE NUMBERS is brought to you by Otto's Diner, who would like to remind you it is
International Women's Month. Women avoid Otto's Diner, but our sponsor still wanted
to recognize them.
Fights: 33
DA Deaths: 5
Non-DA Deaths: 0
Challenges: 13
Largest Up Challenge: +26 Points - SAI (81-3678) (16-6-0,85) of PRAY THE GODS
challenged CLYDE THE GLIDE (81-3732) (13-7-1,111) of NBA LEGENDS. SAI
unbelievably bested CLYDE THE GLIDE in an 8-minute veteran's Challenge
competition.
Largest Down Challenge: -4 Points - OTTO'S BIG-TIPPER (81-3833) (1-0-0,6) of
INEBRIATION challenged LUKHA (81-3826) (0-2-0,2) of CLAN LONGBEARD. OTTO'S BIG-
TIPPER was overpowered by LUKHA in a 1-minute one-sided Challenge match.
No deaths outside of the Dark Arena and only a 4-point down challenge? What is wrong
with you people? Sidara is getting better death and DC action over in Seam! You are
getting out-brutalized by a pack of Andorians! Sheesh, I don't know how much more of
this I can take. I need a drink or six! You know what, I'll just go! You bums
aren't worth the time right now. Listen, I'm not angry! I'm SUPER disappointed in
each of you though! Come back next time and all that jazz! Bye!

PERSONAL ADS
Sir Charles -- Thought I would be easy win again? Surprise! -- Gayne
Privid -- Good match til we both went into sleep mode halfway through. -- Bavil
Spartan -- Interesting challenge. -- Hruan
The Game -- Expert in your 2nd fight!?! My boss was very impressed with that. -- Lukha
Boss Orc -- Last year I went through colon cancer surgery and repair umbilical hernia
at the same time and it took 6 weeks off from work to recover. Your recovery time
should be shorter. Wishing you well for a quick recovery and hope you can return
sooner rather than later to the game. You got this. -- Visionist/Chris
The incursion of chaos creatures into northern Alastari has been stopped. However,
the gate they came through is open, and there are people from Alastari trapped on the
other side. They need to be rescued, and the gate needs to be closed. If you have a
Lord Protector whom you would like to send on this mission, please send a message to
the Gladiatorial Commmission (email csr@reality.com or via diplo). We will need to
know their physical description, personality, and method of fighting. We will select
no more than a dozen volunteers. Thank you!
