                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly ZUWAYZA games.  Former top team CHAOS KIDS was 
unseated this week as UNDER THE SEA moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top spot 
with a 3-1-0 record for the round.  Warriors--remember that glory waits always around 
the corner!  Witness how this week WRATHMEN 25-113 went 1-0-0 to move up 3 in the 
rankings.  Did only my eyes note the 4-1-0 record which DEMONIC CHILI'S managed to 
post this round?  I don't doubt that such a record will draw challengers!  In one of 
the week's more notable duels, JAWS put down PORCELAIN DOLL, causing her to lose 15 
points of recognition in the process.  Unwilling to wait upon the will of others, 
Duelmaster BLACK MAUL Dark Arena Challenged STONE GOLEM last week in a match to 
decide the fate of the throne.  The crowds were amazed this turn, as STONE GOLEM 
killed the Duelmaster, BLACK MAUL, leaving BLACK MELEE in mourning.  With bloody hand 
SWEET ONION has ascended to the throne of champions.  Is she that one which is spoken 
of in the ancient texts?  Informants "close" to the city champion have told me that 
he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor.  Watch out!   
     But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades 
that is city ZUWAYZA.  My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in ZUWAYZA 
these days is CHAOS KIDS.  At least, most blades in town are looking to avoid them.  
If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any of 
DEMONIC CHILI'S last week.  Busy avoiding CHAOS KIDS?  Mighty fighters cannot but 
expect competition from those below.  BRACE take warning!  You have more than a few 
enemies in ZUWAYZA.  A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it 
seems that CARIBEAN RED posted a challenge against the more highly recognized BROAD 
BILL.  The results, you ask?  Well, the firebrand CARIBEAN RED won victory over BROAD 
BILL.  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 ZUWAYZA.  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 next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a 
maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
