Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Former top team TALES FROM THE CRIP was unseated this week as PETS moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top spot with a 2-1-0 record for the round. LITTLE HAT JONES caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as it skillfully bested PROXIED TC and was awarded 18 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, LITTLE HAT JONES put down PROXIED TC, causing it to lose 16 points of recognition in the process. This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper. All hail MIDNIGHT MUFFIN, Duelmaster of DAL SHANG! Would you believe that over half of the old women in DAL SHANG seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators? Many and various are the arts of battle. In DAL SHANG "art" is a word that has long since passed from the language! DAL SHANG, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of thy guilds is TOURNAMENT BLUES 65, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels. Apparently the stalwarts of TALES FROM THE CRIP are catching the bulk of jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after HARRUMPH. Watch your back! A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that ROSE BUSH posted a challenge against the more highly recognized HARRUMPH. The results, you ask? Well, the firebrand ROSE BUSH defeated HARRUMPH. Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel. Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand ready at your right hand forever! Some say a warrior is judged by the way he bears arms. One thing is sure, better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt! If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times already in DAL SHANG. Nice atmosphere you have here! More than a sharp eye must I keep, indeed a stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari await me! Till we meet again, remember: a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MIDNIGHT MUFFIN 8082 11 8 0 114 NIGHTSTORMERS (812) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME LAZY LESTER 8094 17 11 1 98 TOURNAMENT BLUES 65 (804) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BLOODY BEGONIA 8036 8 4 1 90 SATAN'S GARDEN (808) LAWNMOWER MAN 8095 12 15 0 84 WHILST I CHATZY (809) WINE JONES 8064 16 13 1 72 TOURNAMENT BLUES 65 (804) HARRUMPH 8021 8 43 0 67 SAND DANCERS (233) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ROSE BUSH 6523 4 0 1 64 TALES FROM THE CRIP (708) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SCORPIO 8138 5 1 0 48 PETS (818) HONDA HUNTS MOOSE 6521 3 1 0 34 TALES FROM THE CRIP (708) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME TROUBLES 8139 3 0 0 31 PETS (818) ULTRANEGATOR 8123 6 7 0 25 TEMERE (816) LITTLE HAT JONES 8142 2 4 0 25 TOURNAMENT BLUES 65 (804) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME CRIP HUNTS F-150 6524 2 2 0 19 TALES FROM THE CRIP (708) TC RIPPER 6522 2 2 1 16 TALES FROM THE CRIP (708) -BEATRICE 8140 2 1 0 16 PETS (818) PROXIED TC 6525 3 1 0 12 TALES FROM THE CRIP (708) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
