It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the clash and bustle of the weekly VEASTIAN games. Former top team FLYING CIRCUS II was unseated this week as DUREX 100 moved up from 4th ranking to take the top spot with a 5-0-0 record for the round. Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner! Witness how this week DUREX 100 went 5-0-0 to move up 3 in the rankings. My praise to NIGHT TRAIN II for their 3-1-0 week this time out. Indeed, it was a skillfully fought round deserving of notice! TUSK caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested SCRAGG TAGG and was awarded 20 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, OWL put down HIPPO SWAN, causing him to lose 17 points of recognition in the process. This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper. All hail GEIGER, Duelmaster of VEASTIAN! Would you believe that over half of the old women in VEASTIAN 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 VEASTIAN. My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in VEASTIAN these days is DUREX 100. At least, most blades in town are looking to avoid them. Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the better part of last week avoiding DUREX 100. Indeed it was PUD POWER. What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his foe's mortality? 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 VEASTIAN 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 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 GEIGER 5574 31 11 0 109 NIGHT TRAIN II (107) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BRUCE 5393 32 14 0 110 FLYING CIRCUS II (347) SPINY NORMAN 5559 11 7 0 103 FLYING CIRCUS II (347) -DOUG PIRANHA 5571 13 4 0 99 FLYING CIRCUS II (347) OWL 5585 18 20 0 95 NIGHT TRAIN II (107) TUSK 5588 19 18 0 92 NIGHT TRAIN II (107) LOOM 5570 15 20 0 91 DUREX 100 (546) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME HIPPO SWAN 5568 15 29 0 84 THE FAMILY (116) SCRAGG TAGG 2937 10 7 0 82 PUD POWER (298) MRS ATTILA HUN 5626 10 3 0 69 FLYING CIRCUS II (347) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME OJ LIGHT 4699 4 4 0 58 PUD POWER (298) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME CHOCK 5638 6 0 0 56 FAR TRAVELERS (553) CARVED IVORY 2934 9 5 1 55 PUD POWER (298) ROCK SHIELD 5619 9 12 0 46 DUREX 100 (546) INGOT 5651 4 1 0 46 DUREX 100 (546) GAPPDA GHOULASH 2933 8 7 0 45 PUD POWER (298) BRUTE 5610 8 14 1 39 NIGHT TRAIN II (107) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -IBRAHIM 5639 4 1 0 32 FAR TRAVELERS (553) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -THE NOID 4547 1 0 1 14 COVEY IX (454) -MAX HEADROOM 5633 1 2 0 13 COVEY IX (454) CASTER 5659 1 1 0 13 DUREX 100 (546) -OLD DENNYS CRONES 4546 1 0 0 13 COVEY IX (454) JALAPENO PAUPER 5622 1 0 0 10 SHEWISH BANQUET (481) -T BIZZ 5658 1 0 0 10 COVEY IX (454) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ARTHUR LEMMING BDA 5649 0 1 0 1 FLYING CIRCUS II (347) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
