                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly ERINIKA games.  I have begun to suspect trickery on 
the part of SS06 01.  How else weeks like this one's 1-0-0?  How else the sudden move 
to 26th team?  RYTSARI bore the brunt of major assault on their standings this week 
as they dropped to 29th position as the result of going 0-1-0!  My tutors were fond 
of telling me that the higher you rise the harder you fall.  This week JUDGEMENT 20 
went 0-1-0 and fell 18 notches into 32nd!  Did only my eyes note the 3-0-0 record 
which ANTISOCIALS managed to post this round?  I don't doubt that such a record will 
draw challengers!  SUN DAZE caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as 
she skillfully bested EMBEZZLING SCRIBE and was awarded 21 points in recognition.  In 
one of the week's more notable duels, SCURVY SERPENT put down EVANGELINA, causing her 
to lose 16 points of recognition in the process.  Not for nothing has SNITCH TAGGER 
in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week it's proven its 
combat skill yet again.  Would you believe that over half of the old women in ERINIKA 
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 ERINIKA.  Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but 
confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after MY COFFEE.  Watch your back!   
     Vendettas.  Bloodied blades and broken spears.  Indeed the city has seen more 
than its fair share of red in recent times.  POSEIDON'S WRATH has sworn to take up 
religion upon living to tell of his recent bout with the Dark Arena horrors.  A rare 
thing indeed!  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!   
     The girls are as pretty in ERINIKA 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 - the pen is 
mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
