It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the clash and bustle of the weekly MORDANT games. Former top team SWEORDMASTERS was unseated this week as HOMICIDAL MANIACS moved up from 4th ranking to take the top spot with a 4-1-0 record for the round. ROOKIE MANAGER caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested GRUNESH THE ORC and was awarded 17 points in recognition. Although BRICK WALL made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious SNAG. Heed this! A seer has warned that if exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole city shall perish! Just remember...5 or 7! I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand ready at your right hand forever! Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this! A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise manager learn the secrets of them all? More than a sharp eye must I keep, indeed a stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari await me! 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 SNAG 6519 13 8 0 128 OF WOLF AND MAN (478) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -HELLACIOUS 7541 10 2 0 98 MANNEQUIN'S BEST (537) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BRICK WALL 7478 24 14 0 90 HOMICIDAL MANIACS (121) HAYDAN 7356 13 43 1 83 HOMICIDAL MANIACS (121) -HONEST JILES 7576 6 1 0 78 LAB EXPERIMENTS (261) -MESSIAH 7607 9 3 3 77 MANNEQUIN'S BEST (537) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -LORD BLEEDS 6520 9 3 0 66 OF WOLF AND MAN (478) -TERCERO ENCANTO 7635 5 1 1 66 LAB EXPERIMENTS (261) BOTTLE OF BEER 7620 8 6 0 57 HOMICIDAL MANIACS (121) -HREOWAN 7669 4 1 0 57 SWEORDMASTERS (138) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -DEMONSEED 7653 7 1 1 52 SWEORDMASTERS (138) -PRIMA DONNA 7682 4 1 0 48 MANNEQUIN'S BEST (537) -MISCHIEVOUS IMP 7627 8 2 1 46 SWEORDMASTERS (138) -HAIKU 7681 4 1 1 46 MANNEQUIN'S BEST (537) ROOKIE MANAGER 7639 6 6 1 45 HOMICIDAL MANIACS (121) -KRAZY KAT 7525 3 2 0 45 ARENA FELINES (559) -SPEEDWELL 7667 4 1 0 41 LAB EXPERIMENTS (261) -JIMMY WONG 7674 4 1 1 35 LAB EXPERIMENTS (261) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -OPEN 7688 3 0 1 33 SWEORDMASTERS (138) -WISHFUL THINKING 7659 4 3 1 25 MANNEQUIN'S BEST (537) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -LAP LOVER 7665 1 2 1 15 ARENA FELINES (559) -BLACK CAT 7527 1 0 0 15 ARENA FELINES (559) DEADLY BORE 7657 2 8 0 14 HOMICIDAL MANIACS (121) -HEADSNAPPER 6576 1 2 0 11 OF WOLF AND MAN (478) -DAEL 7696 1 0 0 10 SWEORDMASTERS (138) -SNAPPERHEAD 6561 0 4 0 6 OF WOLF AND MAN (478) -TENDER VITTLES 7523 0 4 0 4 ARENA FELINES (559) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn. THE DEAD W L K TEAM NAME SLAIN BY TURN Revenge? PERSONAL ADS Tercero Encanto -- I don't think the Wall knows what to make of a lab experiment. I guess that by nature brick walls are, um, not at all experimental. Very down-to- earth, your average brick wall. Besides, for some reason, the Wall seems upset with you. Like a fight is anything new? Oh, well. Channeling follows: Tercero Encanto -- Your attack upon my fabric is unjustified. If the Mason had intended that I be of chipped bricks, I would have been so designated on the Master Plan and built OF chipped bricks. Chipping my integral bricks after they have been assembled and pronounced correct inclines toward the not-plumb (I think this means something like "heresy." -- BoB). It is a violation of the Building Code. I had not anticipated this from a Wooden (I think that means a "female." -- BoB), who should be softer and more yielding than a Stone (A male, presumably. -- B), especially one who is an associate of the radiantly symmetrical Swallowtail. Do not make such attacks again. -- Brick Wall channeled by Bottle of Beer Hellacious -- Oh, so it was YOU who killed the houseplants! I might have KNOWN. -- Haydan Prima Donna -- You have no RIGHT to be taller than me! And you shouldn't carry ON like that. Big warriors are supposed to LOSE a lot, you know! -- Rookie Manager P.S. Why aren't you a basher? Wishful Thinking -- I see a lot of that, my dear. It does look good on you, but is unsuitable for arena wear. How about trying it at a dancing bar? -- Bottle of Beer P.S. Beer isn't enough to make me unsteady on my feet. You can dance with me quite safely. Open -- Hit the Deadly Bore HARDER. He can still talk, or he could if we hadn't stuffed an old sock in his mouth. -- Bottle of Beer 21 May 2005 Amendment for "Fratsfa's Quest for the Best!" Managers that have teams already established in Fratsfa need not have (3) three warriors in the initiates. FE will NOT be a factor. Stables may be entered at any time. Just announce your stable in the p-ads. *************************************************************************** This in my invitation to all managers who wish to prove their mettle against managers from all over Alastari. We have limited TP's in this contest to one a team at a time. We DO NOT want this contest to become a scum fest as many others have, hence the Andorian arena. Good luck to all who come to prove their skills. "May your enemies' blood flow freely" -- Dark Knight Toker, Desolate Empire Alliance 7 June 2005 I am in the process of moving house, and spotlight writing for the next two months will be very hit-and-miss. -- the Scribe LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS SNAG viciously subdued BRICK WALL in a 2 minute gruesome master's Title fight. HAYDAN subdued TIEN-SHU OF GENRAI in a 2 minute one-sided melee. BOTTLE OF BEER overpowered MONEYBAGS MEFRIN in a 1 minute mismatched duel. ROOKIE MANAGER devastated GRUNESH THE ORC in a 1 minute brutal one-sided fight. DEADLY BORE bested GRALL THE DESERTER in a 1 minute brawl.
