SPY REPORT Hail and well met warriors of NIANIA! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. PIGSKIN caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested KORBRIZT HORON and was awarded 25 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, KINTHIRA put down FORBIDDEN FRUIT, causing her to lose 7 points of recognition in the process. This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper. All hail THE LIZARD KING, Duelmaster of NIANIA! Would you believe that over half of the old women in NIANIA seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators? But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades that is city NIANIA. NIANIA, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of thy guilds is HAMOI TONG, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels. Apparently the stalwarts of MISNOMERS are catching the bulk of jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand ready at your right hand forever! 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! 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 THE LIZARD KING 5763 6 5 0 106 THE FUNNY FARM (409) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME KINTHIRA 5705 22 19 0 103 THE GOLDEN FISH (147) -GHUDA III 5786 13 6 0 94 HAMOI TONG (469) ROBOT CHICKEN 5728 17 14 0 92 THE FUNNY FARM (409) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -PAPEWAIO 4124 19 7 0 87 HAMOI TONG (469) FORBIDDEN FRUIT 5762 11 4 0 87 MISNOMERS (672) POLISH CAVALRY 5761 11 5 0 80 MISNOMERS (672) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -JIRO 5785 11 8 1 65 HAMOI TONG (469) -DUMB BULL 5882 5 2 2 60 DRAGONS (679) KESTRALINE 5783 12 12 0 57 THE GOLDEN FISH (147) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME KORBRIZT HORON 5742 11 22 0 55 THE GOLDEN FISH (147) PIGSKIN 5887 4 0 1 50 THE FUNNY FARM (409) WILE E COYOTE 5821 6 2 0 47 THE FUNNY FARM (409) ELINTERRI 5794 9 9 0 36 THE GOLDEN FISH (147) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME LUGBRUK 5822 3 10 0 24 THE GOLDEN FISH (147) -BUNTOKAPI 5874 2 2 0 24 HAMOI TONG (469) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME HOLY COW 5886 3 1 1 20 THE FUNNY FARM (409) ORANGE 5897 1 0 1 14 COLORS (681) GREEN 5896 1 0 0 8 COLORS (681) -STAR GIRL 5878 0 5 0 5 DRAGONS (679) -HARSHNAG THE GRIM 5881 0 4 0 4 DRAGONS (679) -KULL 5879 0 2 0 2 DRAGONS (679) RED 5894 0 1 0 1 COLORS (681) -SASHA 5880 0 1 0 1 DRAGONS (679) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

I could wish, A LOT, that you'd lost. Everybody else on my team lost, so me losing is not a big thing, in one sense. BUT they will stick ME with the onus of having produced the ohfer turn, just because I was last. I hate it when that happens. -- Lugbruk P.S. And they'll SAY it is all because I'm an orc.
