                                      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 2ND DIRE LANCERS was 
unseated this week as THE RUNAROUND moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot 
with a 1-4-0 record for the round.  Although ANSWER PACK made a valiant effort, it 
did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious OOZING MY MIND.  Heed this!  A seer 
has warned that if exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole city shall perish!  
Just remember...5 or 7!   
     Many and various are the arts of battle.  In NIANIA "art" is a word that has 
long since passed from the language!  I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when 
this week's challenge seeking began.  THE RUNAROUND is feared.  This much I can say.  
Apparently the stalwarts of YELLOWSTONE YOGIS are catching the bulk of jests down at 
the challenging board for their large share of the avoids.  Mighty fighters cannot 
but expect competition from those below.  SAM THE WHALE take warning!  You have more 
than a few enemies in NIANIA.  A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games this 
week, it seems that MIKE PIAZZA posted a challenge against the more highly recognized 
GENERAL PATTERN.  The results, you ask?  Well, the firebrand MIKE PIAZZA defeated 
GENERAL PATTERN.  Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel.  I can not but 
mention with disdain the name of EAU DE PERE who this week posted a challenge to a 
warrior a full 9 points below in the rankings.  I thought EAU DE PERE showed great 
skill and promise when he was beat by SAM THE WHALE.  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!   
     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 next we 
meet remember:  a fool flies into a rage quickly and often.  The wise are angered by 
the same thing only once.  Zontani Sharp Eyes

One-four again, and this time it was me, truly the BEST, who got the win.  That's one
in the eye for Peter, and Sam, too.  *I* can win a fight if I have half a chance.  So
there! -- Butter the Best

Eau de Pere -- Dogs don't bother me.  I like 'em.  Er, that does mean dog, doesn't
it?  Like, I don't know, a wet dog?  The way it's been raining, how else could a dog
BE except wet? -- Butter the Best

Answer Pack -- (sighing in a put-upon manner)  You little guys just do that to annoy,
don't you?  Eh. -- Pikestave

Brad Penny -- Can't BELIEVE you did that.  Is the yoga stuff really that helpful?  If
I learn to turn myself into a pretzel, will my record improve?  I mean, I've heard
some of the positions are really WEIRD, like "Cow-Faced Posture"?  Can this be REAL?
-- Peter Netley, arch-conservative

Gatlith -- You're dire, sure enough.  But I bet if Jorja would stop LAUGHING about my
name and FIX it, I'd do better.  I mean, it's hard to take myself seriously if I'm
called... Teh Haddock
P.S.  It isn't even a word.  Teh.  It sounds like someone thinking of spitting.

Mike Piazza -- Oh... I thought you were something to eat, and I was looking around
for a napkin... and you clobbered me.  You shouldn't do that.  I'm probably an
endangered species. -- Sam the Whale
