                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly NIANIA games.  SERPENT2 caught the eye of many in the 
gladiatorial commission as it skillfully bested EMBEZZLING SCRIBE and was awarded 20 
points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, DESMOND TUTU put 
down HELENADERE, causing her to lose 15 points of recognition in the process.  
Although AMBEERDEXTROUS made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign 
of victorious HEMLOCK.  No confirmation, but my sources claim that the top team has 
gained their position using magical aids.  Charmed weapons perhaps?   
     Many and various are the arts of battle.  In NIANIA "art" is a word that has 
long since passed from the language!  NIANIA, city of gladiators!  Mighty among the 
names of thy guilds is 042909A, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly 
duels.  Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the 
better part of last week avoiding 042909A.  Indeed it was SERPENTS HOLD.   
     What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his 
foe's mortality?  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 NIANIA 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 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

I know my teammates tell us to "be nice to Seef Haraine, the Venomous Concubine,
because she's the concubine of our teammate, Lord Protector Yellow Pike."  But cheese

louise, isn't that supposed to work both ways?  I didn't say a single word, and she
just JUMPED out at me and whacked me right and left!  It's more than enough!  It's
too much. -- Helenadere

Ghandi -- Bah, and I hope they feed you BEEF.  This has been a rotten week, and the
next one's going to be worse, and I'm not cutting anyone any slack! -- Lorinda
P.S.  Nothing personal.

Immanuel Kant -- Oh, good skills!  I like that kind of teaching in a philospher.  Not
to mention that you lost, which is always desirable in an opponent. -- Fredililla

Desmond Tutu -- Your stamina is amazing.  I didn't think a guy could dance around
like that for so long in a steel tutu. -- Harkranz

Persistent Beggar with two Gees -- Again I say bah, and also pooh. -- Tarimez
P.S.  I don't see why you need two gees.  It's an encumbrance you could do fine
without, I'm sure.
