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 COLORS moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a 4-1-1 record for the round. Did only my eyes note the 3-0-0 record which THE MOTHERSHIP CH managed to post this round? I don't doubt that such a record will draw challengers! YO SOY FIESTA caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested HOLY COW and was awarded 21 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, YO SOY FIESTA put down HOLY COW, causing her to lose 18 points of recognition in the process. Although KINTHIRA made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious THE LIZARD KING. No confirmation, but my sources claim that the top team has gained their position using magical aids. Charmed weapons perhaps? But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades that is city NIANIA. I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's challenge seeking began. MISNOMERS is feared. This much I can say. If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any of THE FUNNY FARM last week. Busy avoiding MISNOMERS? I can not but mention with disdain the name of THE LAW FIRM who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 9 points below in the rankings. I thought THE LAW FIRM showed great skill and promise when he defeated LUGBRUK. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal! What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his foe's mortality? Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always! If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times already in NIANIA. Nice atmosphere you have here! Sadly warriors, now longer can I keep thy company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till next we meet remember: a fool flies into a rage quickly and often. The wise are angered by the same thing only once.

THE DEAD W L K TEAM NAME SLAIN BY TURN Revenge? CONVICTED THIEF 0 0 0 RED 5894 594 NONE PERSONAL ADS Our congratulations to Robot Chicken. -- Jorja and the Golden Fish Forbidden Fruit -- Didn't we just DO this? It is not improved by repetition. -- Kinthira P.S. Although... maybe if it were stewed with brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon peel, and... a little butter, I think, yeah, that might improve it a BUNCH. Pigskin -- Well, I was HOPING for chitlins. -- Kestraline The Law Firm -- Wow! I beat a bunch of corporate lawyers? This is incredible! A once-in-a-lifetime experience. A gross mis-match, too, but that wasn't my doing. -- Korbrizt Horon Nose-Face Killer -- Oh... I hadn't imagined.... IS there anything to your face beyond the nose? I couldn't seem to look away from it. -- Elinterri Yo Soy Fiesta -- Achk, soy. Nothing good comes of soy, ever. Well, except worstersher sauce. -- Lubruk All -- Farewell to me! As anyone who has faced me knows, I'm not your typical TP. I was 10-11-6-21-15-9-13, something of an experiment. While not exactly a failure, I can't be called much of a success either. I leave with 73 skills learned, in 38 FE, with a few turns spent raising ST and CN. Bonused in Attack +4, and it was my favorite learn. Longspear and Mod/VL, Parry tactic were what they gave me for my other favorites. I'll likely end up retired on the Isle, Cya all! -- Robot Chicken LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS NOSE-FACE KILLER devastated ELINTERRI in a 1 minute mismatched Challenge fight.
