SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! 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
