SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of TRANSEL! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. GREG caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested PRIVATE 3 and was awarded 29 points
in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, BLIND BLAKE put down
PRIVATE 1, causing him to lose 7 points of recognition in the process. Not for
nothing has JOE WILLIAMS in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this
week he's proven his combat skill yet again. 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 TRANSEL. Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those
below. SHIRLEY KNOTT take warning! You have more than a few enemies in TRANSEL. I
cannot but express pride for the fearlessness of DOVAHKIIN who cast caution to the
winds and challenged SHIRLEY KNOTT, a fighter 27 points higher. Do not the gods
reward courage? DOVAHKIIN it was that claimed victory in the bout, while also rising
35 points in recognition.
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? The warrior's path is harsh. For mediocrity there is but one
reward--death. This past week SHIRLEY KNOTT, at 12-15-1, departed TRANSEL forever.
My sources at MEDAL OF HONOR Y2 stable claim they've never seen the guild bitterer.
This as a result of the untimely demise of PRIVATE 2. Beware MATT! This week in
mortal passion DOVAHKIIN let the blood of SHIRLEY KNOTT, sending one more soul into
the void. Retribution by PSYCHO SQUAD seems inevitable! 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!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in TRANSEL. Nice atmosphere you have here! 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 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

PERSONAL ADS
Joe Williams -- I curl my lip in scorn at you. -- Shirley Knott
P.S. The only reason you get a personal personal is because you're the duelmaster.
Otherwise, I would ignore you as you deserve.
This Nurnin the Unlucky is out to GET me! He cut in, preventing me from fighting the
fight that would confirm me as the favorite of the crowds, and then he "overpowered"
me. Me! And I want to know who gave him that power to toss around the arena, it was
badly done! He should be--not sliced and diced, that's much too CIVILIZED--he should
be torn to shreds with hot pincers! Wait just a moment while I build up the fire to
start heating the pincers.... -- Son of John
My teammates... eh. *I* got the win, so *I* am top dog, or top Tiger, at our
guildhouse this week. -- Tom Tiger
