DM 72 DRAGONHEAD (turn 264): HAMMY HAMSTER of MEAT YOUR MAKER (Crip, mgr.) SPY REPORT Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the clash and bustle of the weekly MORDANT games. Former top team CARNIVAL FREAKS was unseated this week as RUN DMC moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top spot with a 3-1-0 record for the round. In one of the week's more notable duels, FIANNA QUINN put down MUTANT BLOWBY, causing him to lose 22 points of recognition in the process. Due to his absence and inability to defend the throne, RUN'S HOUSE has lost the title of Duelmaster. This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper. All hail DOWNWITHTHEKING, Duelmaster of MORDANT! Informants "close" to the city champion have told me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor. Watch out! I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's challenge seeking began. HOMICIDAL MANIACS is feared. This much I can say. Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the better part of last week avoiding HOMICIDAL MANIACS. Indeed it was VOID. Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after S... MC. Watch your back! I cannot but express pride for the fearlessness of TWO-HEADED FERRET who cast caution to the winds and challenged MARY MARY, a fighter 26 points higher. Do not the gods reward courage? TWO-HEADED FERRET it was that claimed victory in the bout, while also rising 21 points in recognition. A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that BOBO THE DOG BOY posted a challenge against the more highly recognized BLACK BONKER. The results, you ask? Well, the firebrand BOBO THE DOG BOY bested BLACK BONKER. Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel. What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his foe's mortality? 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? 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 DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DOWNWITHTHEKING 8736 18 9 1 111 RUN DMC (636) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -GRASSCUTTER 8750 14 0 2 229 SWEORDMASTERS (138) -RUN'S HOUSE 8735 9 1 1 133 RUN DMC (636) FIANNA QUINN 8970 9 2 0 107 LOW ROAD 3 (644) BOBO THE DOG BOY 7229 10 4 0 98 CARNIVAL FREAKS (192) BLACK BONKER 8749 23 23 1 93 HOMICIDAL MANIACS (121) TWO-HEADED FERRET 7193 9 3 0 93 CARNIVAL FREAKS (192) 2000 YR.

Even us Homicidal Maniacs, and it was a Low Roader that got killed. We know it was an accident, but we're still all upset. Beltran Moss was an okay guy, and he'd been AROUND a while, you know? To have an old warhorse like that killed, well, it gives us all a chill. Ah, it gives most of us a chill, Masked and Bonker had some snarky things to say, but that's just them. -- Schoolbus Driver If you sent personals to hal and they do not appear in this newsletter, it's due to the disruptions associated with the tourney.
