                                      SPY REPORT

    It was a pretty crazy turn for challenges, this time.  11 challenges, all up in 
the rankings.  Only TWO of those challenges succeeded.  I don't recall such and 
extreme set of results ever.  Though my memory is suspect, not to be trusted. The two 
that succeeded? ST-ANDARD handily defeated ONE FISH TWO FISH in a 1 minute uneven 
Challenge melee.   CAPTAIN HOOK vanquished MOONSTRUCK in a 2 minute one-sided 
Challenge duel. What a bizarre outcome for this turn.
    STIKE FORCE and WHAMMO & THUDDA 4U! were the best two teams this time going 4-1 
and 3-0, respectively.  They split the rolling Team on the Move and Current Top Team 
awards!
    NILE PRINCESS, our Duel Mistress, took a challenge from EMPTY ROLL.  Perhaps EMPTY 
ROLL should have checked with LASAGNA before making such a challenge.  NILE PRINCESS 
has proven twice in two turns that she can beat scum.  EMTPY ROLL is a taking the 
problem to the Isle of the Eye and hopefully our janitors keep us fully stocked in the 
future!
    JUST DESSERTS was avoided by BASH BROS OCEAN.  KELP was reported as the most 
challenged warrior, but then gets a match up.  Good use of avoids?  Bad information? 
Incredible luck?  KELP lost to a much younger warrior with a .500 record.  I guess 
that 12-6 record is inflated and people should be challenging KELP...
    One death on the sands.  LITLER was killed by TAKE UP ARMS!  I guess one young 
initiate is better than none.
    Last news from the turn is CHARYBDIS getting its invite to ADM.  It was a long 
time coming, but veteran wall of steel is now immortal.
    Finally, I was very disturbed by Smithy's post and absence from the sands.  It 
will be a sad day if Smithy leaves us, but all good things must come to an end (though 
how Smithy turned a one night stand into a relationship where I dumped him I still 
have yet to figure out).

    That is for today!
