It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the clash and bustle of the weekly NIANIA games. Former top team THE FUNNY FARM was unseated this week as THE GOLDEN FISH moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a 4-1-0 record for the round. Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner! Witness how this week MISNOMERS went 2-0-0 to move up 3 in the rankings. My praise to THE GOLDEN FISH for their 4-1-0 week this time out. Indeed, it was a skillfully fought round deserving of notice! GNUTON caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested EMBEZZLING SCRIBE and was awarded 16 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, POLISH CAVALRY put down KORBRIZT HORON, causing him to lose 10 points of recognition in the process. Due to his absence and inability to defend the throne, I. M. WEASEL has lost the title of Duelmaster. The city has turned out in honor of BIG BIRD, for with his arena victory he may now lay claim to the highest position in the city! 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! Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand ready at your right hand forever! BIG BIRD, may you forever slay thy enemies with impunity as you did GNU BOOK. Are there none left in GNU TEAM who hold honor as a virtue? Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this! The girls are as pretty in NIANIA 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 BIG BIRD 5703 11 4 1 116 THE FUNNY FARM (409) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -I.
