                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly ARKERS games.  There were bitter words at ASSASSIN 
NATION's guildhouse after a 1-2-0 showing this week which dropped the stable into 
10th.  Dark Arena anyone?  Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the 
corner!  Witness how this week LADIES IN WAITING went 4-0-0 to move up 4 in the 
rankings.  My praise to CANTERBURY TALES for their 3-0-0 week this time out.  Indeed, 
it was a skillfully fought round deserving of notice!  TOKYO ROSE caught the eye of 
many in the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested CHAS and was awarded 22 
points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, TOKYO ROSE put down 
CHAS, causing him to lose 19 points of recognition in the process.  Not for nothing 
has TICOTIN in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week she's 
proven hers combat skill yet again.  Would you believe that over half of the old 
women in ARKERS seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators?   
     But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades 
that is city ARKERS.  I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's 
challenge seeking began.  LADIES IN WAITING is feared.  This much I can say.  
Apparently the stalwarts of ASSASSIN NATION are catching the bulk of jests down at 
the challenging board for their large share of the avoids.  A match that raised a few 
eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that MICROAGGRESSION posted a challenge 
against the more highly recognized POTTER SANDS.  The results, you ask?  Well, the 
firebrand MICROAGGRESSION overcame POTTER SANDS.  Remember warriors, this is the 
discipline of steel.   
     What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his 
foe's mortality?  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 ARKERS.  Nice atmosphere you have here!  Ahh, but I can hear the spires of 
a far off city calling to me.  I must away!  Till next we meet remember - the pen is 
mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
