SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly BONSUR games. Fortune did not smile upon INDIFFERENCE
this time out who this turn suffered a fall into 13th position in the wake of a 0-0-0
round. Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner! Witness how
this week THE BEARS II went 2-0-0 to move up 5 in the rankings. My praise to
IMPORTED FOOTBALLERS for their 4-1-0 week this time out. Indeed, it was a skillfully
fought round deserving of notice! ANZAI MURO caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested GOKU and was awarded 22 points in
recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, ANZAI MURO put down GOKU,
causing him to lose 14 points of recognition in the process. Unwilling to wait upon
the will of others, Duelmaster PESCHISOLIDO challenged TERRI TOWEL last week in a
match to decide the fate of the throne. This time victory fell to the grasp of the
usurper. All hail TERRI TOWEL, Duelmaster of BONSUR! Informants "close" to the city
champion have told me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor.
Watch out!
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city BONSUR. BONSUR, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of thy
guilds is FLOWER CHILDREN, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels.
Apparently the stalwarts of IMPORTED FOOTBALLERS 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. TALLAHASSE TINA take warning! You have
more than a few enemies in BONSUR. A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games
this week, it seems that BROUHAHA posted a challenge against the more highly
recognized THYME. The results, you ask? Well, the firebrand BROUHAHA overcame
THYME. Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel.
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 BONSUR. Nice atmosphere you have here! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of
a far off city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember - the pen is
mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

All Readers -- Due to the pressures resulting from preparing for and dealing with the
Face to Face, no spotlights will be written until it's over. -- the Scribe
17 July 2004
I am currently trying to put together a favorites chart for AD warriors. I
desperately need help with this. What I need are style, favorite rhythm (ex.:
hi/low), favorite weapons, and tactics. What would be great is if you could send me
a copy of the invite with the warrior's name, id#, and arena blacked out. This way,
I can verify that this is an actual warrior. Minis will work, too!
For those interested, I have both a challenge style vs. style and a match-up style
vs. style chart. There's about 250 fights calculated in these charts, and I'll be
happy to send a copy to anyone who asks. You can contact me (if you're a free world
player) at: Rick Stringer, Merit/East, SCI, P.O. Box 500, Georgetown, DE 19947-0500.
If you're in prison, just send a diplo to: Baphomet, Mgr. Knights Templar (568), DM
#47--North Fork. (I also have a lot of other charts and info for anyone who wants
it.) Thanks!
