SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of WILLAF! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Former top team PUNNY AMINALS was unseated
this week as GOLDEN GLADIATORS moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a
3-0-0 record for the round. Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the
corner! Witness how this week GARBAGE PAIL KIDS went 1-0-0 to move up 3 in the
rankings. Did only my eyes note the 3-0-0 record which AIMER'S INC managed to post
this round? I don't doubt that such a record will draw challengers! ARCANUS
DARKSTAR caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully
bested EMBEZZLING SCRIBE and was awarded 20 points in recognition. In one of the
week's more notable duels, GOLDEN GLOBE put down MOONSINGER, causing her to lose 9
points of recognition in the process. As is fitting, the most sought after warrior
on the challenge boards this week was none other than Duelmaster GOLDPLATED itself.
Most watched of the fights this week, the spotlight was on MISDIAGNOSIS as he bore
arms against the challenge of reigning Duelmaster GOLDPLATED. Although MISDIAGNOSIS
made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious
GOLDPLATED. Would you believe that over half of the old women in WILLAF seem to feel
that they could fight better than you gladiators?
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. WILLAF, city of gladiators!
Mighty among the names of thy guilds is GARBAGE PAIL KIDS, a guild shunned and
avoided by many in the weekly duels. Methinks more than a few here could name the
guild it was that spent the better part of last week avoiding GARBAGE PAIL KIDS.
Indeed it was GOLDEN GLADIATORS.
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. My hearty congratulations AARON, for thy
revenge upon HAZEL NUTTE, slayer of thy fallen comrade. Next time she will know
better, eh? 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 WILLAF 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 next we meet remember: a fool flies into
a rage quickly and often. The wise are angered by the same thing only once. Zontani

PERSONAL ADS
Misdiagnosis -- Those pain killers you prescribed don't have much value when used
against weak, namby-pamby, limp-wristed opponents. Hence, I didn't use 'em against
you. My beautifully intact gold-plating was plenty sufficient. -- Goldplated
Punny Aminals -- Top point-gainer! Hubba, hubba. -- Midas and The Golden Gladiators
Moonsinger -- You fought like a million dollars; I, on the other hand, fought like a
mere dubloon. Kudos! I bow to my better. -- Gold Dubloon
Black Indekker -- Little can I say except, ho hum. -- Golden Flash
Dangerous Criminal -- Well, I know you were caught, but you were probably better at
your former job. -- Golden Girl
P.S. But thanks for being my cannon fodder.
The ides of June are ere upon us, and the ides of July are nary far away. See you in
Orlando. -- Midas
Evebringer -- The more I think about it, the more I realize that I don't want to ever
get hit by you. -- Well Don
Misdiagnosis -- I'm ready for a rematch. -- Well Don
Goldplated -- Hey now! Don't be dragging me into this. -- Well Don
P.S. Congrats on getting your throne back. And keeping it.
Midas -- True, the golden-haired Southern bimbos are absolutely peaches, but the
sultry brunettes are good, too. And the fiery redheads! In fact, all of them,
provided they have hair. -- Black Indekker, not fond of the bald bimbos
Ashton -- You should probably have brought more experience to the fight. -- Hazel
Nutte
Golden Flash -- I wish you wouldn't flash at ME. I get so involved trying to find
out what there is to see--it's, um, subtle--that I forget to defend myself. -- Black
Indekker
Abel -- Bad luck for you, good luck for me. If there has to be luck involved, I want
the good stuff, okay? -- Whip Sawyer
Aaron -- What is it with you aimers? Are you out to be gotten by us? -- Hori Bull
The Peristent Beggar thought he could sit around and nag at ME! Ha! -- Sofa'yam
Goldplated -- Very amusing. I'd take offense, but my pay rating is orders of
magnitudes above yours. I can get pure gold, not just gold plated! In the meantime,
enjoy your victories. -- Misdiagnosis
