                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly OSKSI games.  There were bitter words at VALLEY OF 
KINGS' guildhouse after a 0-0-0 showing this week which dropped the stable into 9th.  
Dark Arena anyone?  Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner!  
Witness how this week PET SHOP BOYS went 3-0-0 to move up 5 in the rankings.  OTIS 
TAYLOR caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested 
WOHP DUH and was awarded 14 points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable 
duels, OTIS TAYLOR put down WOHP DUH, causing it to lose 8 points of recognition in 
the process.  This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper.  All hail SADIE 
SHEPARD, Duelmaster of OSKSI!  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 OSKSI.  I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's 
challenge seeking began.  THE BLUES 3 is feared.  This much I can say.  Apparently 
the stalwarts of THE COUSINS are catching the bulk of jests down at the challenging 
board for their large share of the avoids.  Mighty fighters cannot but expect 
competition from those below.  CALCULATED take warning!  You have more than a few 
enemies in OSKSI.   
     Vendettas.  Bloodied blades and broken spears.  Indeed the city has seen more 
than its fair share of red in recent times.  Look no more for ANDY SISCO in the arena 
or on the streets of OSKSI.  His fate was sealed in the Dark Arena.  Inevitable for 
one at 17-21-1.  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!   
     The girls are as pretty in OSKSI as ever I remembered them....and the fighters 
as ugly!  Don't let your reputation slip!  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:  a fool flies into a rage quickly and often.  The wise 
are angered by the same thing only once.  Zontani Sharp Eyes
