Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. There were bitter words at OLD HOBBITS' guildhouse after a 0-0-0 showing this week which dropped the stable into 15th. Dark Arena anyone? My praise to DARK MECHANICUM for their 4-0-0 week this time out. Indeed, it was a skillfully fought round deserving of notice! DYRE caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested DEAD BIRD 36 and was awarded 20 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, CRUEL DOOM put down CENOBITE 2.0, causing it to lose 15 points of recognition in the process. Who here was not present for the title fight this week as DUMB DILLY boldly challenged WICKED in order to strive for the Duelmasters honors? Not for nothing has WICKED in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week he's proven his combat skill yet again. 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 NIYTYOLE ISLAND. My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in NIYTYOLE ISLAND these days is BIG LAKE BANDITS. 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 THUNDERBIRDS last week. Busy avoiding BIG LAKE BANDITS? Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. SOMECALLMETIM take warning! You have more than a few enemies in NIYTYOLE ISLAND. A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that SANDY CLAWS posted a challenge against the more highly recognized SOMECALLMETIM. The results, you ask? Well, the firebrand SANDY CLAWS was overcame by SOMECALLMETIM. Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel. Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more than its fair share of red in recent times. Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always! The girls are as pretty in NIYTYOLE ISLAND as ever I remembered them....and the fighters as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Sadly warriors, now longer can I keep thy company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till next we meet remember: a fool flies into a rage quickly and often. The wise are angered by the same thing only once.

I expect them to do well, so well in fact that I have three bets of $100/each with friends that the Steelers will win at least 12 games. Considering my track record of winning bets, I have essentially doomed their season. Speaking of doomed seasons, you just cannot catch the AA in Current Top Team. -- Den Bashturd -- They say that eventually you get what you deserve, seems so in this case. They also say to never get involved with the AA when death is on the line, you learned this as well. Seems my Sweater has been tossed aside, into the human refuse heap where it belonged. And then even Emu killed one of your guys, a manager so insignificant that I didn't even bother with a nickname. You're falling apart old man, you should try harder. -- Den Filthy -- Seems your Squalor is on a bit of a killing spree as of late. The morgue is starting to smell as bad as your breath. -- Den Darkfart -- Bottom of the 3-Turn huh? Times are tough for you BoB guys. Maybe with a handwritten and grammatically correct apology letter we would allow you access to our abilities and coaching. We would certainly bring you higher than those other puds you covet. Think about it, but not for long or we will once again throw you out on your butt! -- Den 1980's -- Looks like you are still using designs and strats from the 1980's considering you have only mustered three wins in the last three turns. Pretty pathetic, like your chest. -- Den Tyrant Apex -- Good to see the sands are once again in your shoes. And, you even killed one of Studcraft's guys, that had to feel nice, like getting a new pair of socks that fit correctly. -- Den Thunderturds -- Hopefully you don't come back. -- Den Old Hobbits -- Hey, your record is 69-69, probably the only one you will ever see in your lifetime, you perverted drunken freak. -- Den LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS DUMB DILLY was viciously subdued by WICKED in a 7 minute master's Challenge fight.
