Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. There were bitter words at AVALANCHE ARMADA's guildhouse after a 0-0-0 showing this week which dropped the stable into 11th. Dark Arena anyone? Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner! Witness how this week PSYCHO SQUAD went 1-1-0 to move up 4 in the rankings. My praise to CHAOS KIDS for their 4-0-0 week this time out. Indeed, it was a skillfully fought round deserving of notice! CLYDE caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested PEREGRINE FIREHAWK and was awarded 18 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, MCKINLEY put down MORAN, causing him to lose 7 points of recognition in the process. Due to hers absence and inability to defend the throne, OVERKILL has lost the title of Duelmaster. The city has turned out in honor of HOODOO MAN, for with his arena victory he may now lay claim to the highest position in the city! Heed this! A seer has warned that if exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole city shall perish! Just remember...5 or 7! But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades that is city TRANSEL. My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in TRANSEL these days is LANCIARII. 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 LANCIARII last week. Busy avoiding LANCIARII? At the gambling halls I have started to bet money on TUB THUMPING. It has got the courage it takes. Witness its challenge this turn against ASH! The TOP HITS stable will be up late tonight, for indeed it was TUB THUMPING who claimed victory in the contest, ascending 24 in recognition! What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his foe's mortality? Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this! The girls are as pretty in TRANSEL as ever I remembered them....and the fighters as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off city calling to me. I must away! 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 HOODOO MAN 8005 19 7 2 124 BLACK AND BLUES (575) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -OVERKILL 8010 13 5 0 103 BREWHALLA (668) SKIP 7838 20 14 0 102 BLACK AND BLUES (575) TUB THUMPING 8081 8 0 0 91 TOP HITS (675) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -RATIGAN-RAT 7820 18 16 3 89 RAT PAK (277) DOLFIN 7885 15 36 0 81 PSYCHO SQUAD (135) CLYDE 8028 10 11 1 78 CHAOS KIDS (669) MCKINLEY 8020 13 13 1 76 BLACK AND BLUES (575) ASH 8016 13 14 0 75 FIRST NAME BASIS (641) DOLLY 8030 14 7 0 72 CHAOS KIDS (669) -SLANG DU JOUR 8009 12 6 0 71 BREWHALLA (668) MORAN 7966 14 25 1 68 FIRST NAME BASIS (641) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME HEMLOCK 8077 8 4 0 64 CHAOS KIDS (669) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME KOKO TAYLOR 8108 5 3 0 53 BLACK AND BLUES (575) -WAIMEA BLAZE 8025 7 7 1 52 BREWHALLA (668) HALLUCENT 8001 9 23 0 50 PSYCHO SQUAD (135) -DON'T 8086 4 1 0 50 CLEVER CLEVER MGRR (676) -CO-PILOT THOR 8008 11 7 1 48 BREWHALLA (668) PAINT IT BLACK 8085 5 3 0 39 TOP HITS (675) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ULLANDER 7862 6 8 0 35 LANCIARII (635) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME WARBLER 8093 6 3 0 28 PHOENIX GUARD (677) ROUND AND ROUND 8084 4 4 1 25 TOP HITS (675) PSYCHO KILLER 8083 4 4 1 25 TOP HITS (675) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -SNOWSLIDE 7989 3 1 0 20 AVALANCHE ARMADA (667) BLACK BETTY 8082 2 6 0 20 TOP HITS (675) -FROSTBITE 7993 1 3 0 18 AVALANCHE ARMADA (667) REQUIEM 8112 3 2 0 17 CHAOS KIDS (669) -KOKOMO ARNOLD 8071 1 0 0 15 BLACK AND BLUES (575) -MARIONETTE-RAT 8106 0 6 0 6 RAT PAK (277) AMELITOS 8122 0 1 0 1 LANCIARII (635) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
