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 DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME TICOTIN 6178 11 1 0 143 FAR TRAVELERS (675) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DONN 5761 19 18 2 102 FIGHTING IRISH (648) DRESDEN 6176 11 4 0 100 FAR TRAVELERS (675) MORRIGAN 6179 8 2 0 94 FAR TRAVELERS (675) POOKA 6155 24 5 0 92 FIGHTING IRISH (648) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MISS BEA HAVED 5897 8 5 0 89 LADIES IN WAITING (115) FELDSPAR 5760 21 25 0 88 FIGHTING IRISH (648) DEIDRE 5762 21 20 0 83 FIGHTING IRISH (648) -THE PARSON 5061 6 1 0 83 CANTERBURY TALES (586) LUXOR 4619 14 18 0 82 TEN TON TOGAS (536) ROMULUS 4616 14 11 1 72 TEN TON TOGAS (536) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME POTTER SANDS 5448 11 31 0 64 MIDDLE WAY 11 (546) TOKYO ROSE 6180 8 5 1 63 FAR TRAVELERS (675) NEFARIUS PURPUS 6151 6 6 0 60 TEN TON TOGAS (536) MICROAGGRESSION 6216 5 1 1 57 YUPPIE HORDE 21.1 (678) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME COURTINGDISASTUS 6132 8 12 0 51 TEN TON TOGAS (536) -TOE JAM 6080 3 0 1 47 OFF THE DEEP END (669) CHAS 6166 11 12 0 45 MIDDLE WAY 11 (546) MISS FORTUNE 6189 6 2 0 43 LADIES IN WAITING (115) MISS CONGENIALITY 6225 4 1 0 39 LADIES IN WAITING (115) THE HABERDASHER 5062 4 2 1 36 CANTERBURY TALES (586) DREAD 6222 3 2 0 35 ASSASSIN NATION (377) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME THE MILLER 6219 2 1 0 33 CANTERBURY TALES (586) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -ZOMBIE ELVIS 6079 2 0 0 32 OFF THE DEEP END (669) MISS STIFF EYE 6159 5 4 1 31 LADIES IN WAITING (115) SUFFOCATE 6134 5 2 0 29 ASSASSIN NATION (377) BERTIE 6165 3 20 0 29 MIDDLE WAY 11 (546) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BETHANE 6187 4 11 0 23 MIDDLE WAY 11 (546) TUMULT 6163 4 3 0 22 ASSASSIN NATION (377) UL10-01 6232 1 0 0 20 UNDERGROUND LAB 10 (679) -HILLARY CLINTON 6210 1 0 0 19 OFF THE DEEP END (669) -ROBERT DE NIRO 6211 1 0 0 15 OFF THE DEEP END (669) THE PARDONER 5069 2 1 0 14 CANTERBURY TALES (586) UL10-04 6231 1 0 0 13 UNDERGROUND LAB 10 (679) CAILLEACH 6218 1 5 0 8 FIGHTING IRISH (648) UL10-05 6229 0 1 0 1 UNDERGROUND LAB 10 (679) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
