                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of ARKERS!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, 
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  Former top team BLOOD RITES was unseated 
this week as SMITHSONIAN moved up from 6th ranking to take the top spot with a 4-0-0 
record for the round.  Fortune did not smile upon NORTHERN BADLANDS this time out who 
this turn suffered a fall into 9th position in the wake of a 1-2-0 round.  
Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner!  Witness how this week 
THE LAST SAMURI went 3-0-1 to move up 7 in the rankings.  My praise to SMITHSONIAN 
for their 4-0-0 week this time out.  Indeed, it was a skillfully fought round 
deserving of notice!  BURPS FIRE HAMMER caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial 
commission as she skillfully bested ZANZIBAR and was awarded 25 points in 
recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, SUN-PE put down MEERKAT, 
causing him to lose 13 points of recognition in the process.  Unwilling to wait upon 
the will of others, Duelmaster LADY MACBETH challenged OL' GRIZ last week in a match 
to decide the fate of the throne.  Not for nothing has LADY MACBETH in the past laid 
claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week she's proven hers combat skill yet 
again.  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!   
     I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently 
transpired.  Indeed there is much I would report.  My inside sources tell me that the 
team to beat in ARKERS these days is ORCISH IDIOMS.  At least, most blades in town 
are looking to avoid them.  Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was 
that spent the better part of last week avoiding ORCISH IDIOMS.  Indeed it was 
YAKUZA.  Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the 
knowledge that many fighters are after UNHOLY TERROR.  Watch your back!  At the 
gambling halls I have started to bet money on TRANCE.  She has got the courage it 
takes.  Witness hers challenge this turn against CRIMSON MIST!  3 points of newly 
earned recognition and a dose of my admiration is what TRANCE must now weigh against 
the defeat which resulted.   
     What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his 
foe's mortality?  This week marked the last days of ZIPPETY who at 5-12-0 was 
dispatched to the Dark Arena by the command of Z GLADIATORZ's demanding management.  
My sources at YAKUZA stable claim they've never seen the guild bitterer.  This as a 
result of the untimely demise of GAARA.  Beware UNHOLY TERROR!  My condolences to Z 
GLADIATORZ for their loss of a very promising warrior, ZANZIBAR.  ZANZIBAR went to 
doom before the arms of BURPS FIRE HAMMER, a warrior of ACID FIRE HAMMERZ.  Let all 
swords of the city take heed!  By law, LA PENTARCHIE has but one remaining week to 
take their revenge upon TIMBER WALKER for the slaying of MORE MOORE.  My hearty 
congratulations MORNGRYM, for thy revenge upon UGLY KIDD JOE, slayer of thy fallen 
comrade.  Next time he will know better, eh?  BLACK WIND must hold silent, for this 
week it was humbled in the arena by a successful Bloodfeud won by HUSK of X-FORCE.  
Hail HUSK for thy victory!  Fate is a fickle mistress.  She showers the miserable 
with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious.  Remember this!   
     The girls are as pretty in ARKERS as ever I remembered them....and the fighters 
as ugly!  Don't let your reputation slip!  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 - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a 
different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

Death Walker -- My first lesson to you; "Practice what you Preach".  My second lesson
to you; "Thanks for being my Punching Bag".  My third lesson, and some really good
advice, to you; "Either learn how to fight or take your Sorry Self to the Dark
Arena"! -- Sun-Pe

All -- I won my first match. -- Sun-Ne (yeah!!)

The Aardvark -- You just stay where you are at!!  I will be to see you very soon. --
Sun-Pe

Curator -- Is there any way to tell what & how many skills you will burn by raising a
stat? -- Bushido Master, mgr. The Last Samuri

Penumbral Mists Stable -- The Last Samuri Stable thanks you for the welcome and looks
forward to honorable combat in the Sands with you. -- The Last Samuri (582)

Bigfoots -- That happens because both Curator and Lenpro are old coots and sometimes
cannot remember the difference between Lady Huntsman and Lady Macbeth.  How silly of
them! -- Lady Huntsman and Lady Macbeth
P.S.  Thanks for noticing.

V. Baltimore -- Hmmmmm, that must have been quite embarrassing?!  Your challenge.
Your massive style advantage.  My win.  Next time bring a sturdier and stiffer
weapon.  (wink) -- Lady Macbeth

No Chaos here, just an eye for an eye.... -- Hammurabi

Elixir -- You were by far the better fighter in that battle.  Salute. -- Lord Byron

Rapid Fire -- You got me again!  Just now in the arena and that time about 62 years
ago....  You have awakened the giant. -- Pearl Harbor

Guernesey -- Some how or another, I had to chuckle at that one. -- War Bond

All -- Thanks for sharing your time with us in Arkers.  A salute to you all. --
Curator

Outlaw -- You were no match for my one-uppers! -- Zinger

Morg Potts -- I think you have convinced The Z Man that's all for me.  He said
something like "Even I cannot make a putrid and worthless 12-15-14-3-17-16-7 piker
work!"  I think I'm in trouble of getting voted off.... -- Zippety

Mourngrym -- Endurance is my thing. -- Zanzibar

Congratulations to Lady Macbeth (Lady Huntsman too in Iaye!) for the repeat DM crown.
You are one bad momma! -- The Z Man (quite jealous, in fact)

Well, my team needs some rest.  Baltimore was so happy to meet the Lady that he
forgot to use his challenging strat, and tried to dodge her parries....  Time for a
break!  Good luck to you guys. -- Le Pentarque

Curator -- Thank you for answering my questions. -- Savant

You. D -- A lot of luck and heart. -- Husk

Morngrym -- I'm afraid Kylun will not be able to answer. -- Savant

All -- You'll have to give me another turn to get my affairs in order, then I'll come
and getcha all!!  (laugh)  A lot of real life stuff at the moment. -- Blackstorm

Rabbit -- You were such a fine dancer until you tripped over your own feet and fell
on your face. -- Blood Stain

Indior Landis -- 'Twas a fine struggle you put forth just not enough. -- Unholy Terror

Kerbin Notts -- Swing swing swing away but the real key is to try and not eat my
blade. -- Blackheart

Gaara -- You got me a little sweaty but I still managed to finish. -- Crimson Mist

Alley Cat -- You are to be my last victory.  My learning problems have earned me a
fight at night.  Good luck to you. -- Deathwalker

Kik Baket Ow Toe -- Well now, I guess I failed to account for the follow up swing...
nicely done. -- Nythia

Bruiser -- I haven't taken a beating like THAT since...well, never! -- Oniromancer,
the thoroughly bruised

Jersy -- I'm really not built to take hits like that.  Well fought, and sorry about
the head shot. -- Malborgia IV

Zanzibar -- Now wait one bloody minute!  I sought BLOODFEUD right with ugly!  Zip,
zing, nothing, we shouldn't have wrought.  Still, that's not your fault.  *sigh*

Salute, Z. -- Morngrym
P.S.  What's with the offhand draw thing with that weapon.  You're not the first I've
noticed doing it?

Polite Beggar -- Perhaps you'll come watch my next fight.  You've politely consigned
my fate. -- Kammerfel

Z Man -- Yes, I agree on your "Bgaz" eval...it was, as you say, a "funny". *wry grin*
-- Michael

Blackstorm -- I arrived in Double-X to note your dismissal...where does this leave
us?  I'm still going active there, so what do you recommend?  Also, was my Diplo
received? -- Michael Eldritch

Arkers Assembly -- Another cycle passes and no Spot creativity!  Just thought I would
let you know I am thinking of you!  Will continue here in Arena 8 for as long as it
is economically feasible!  Am expanding interests to other arenas! -- Hammer/Minister
of War

Got Cat's Tongue -- With the barbs on it and everything?  Stick it out so I can see!
-- Imber Lack
P.S.  It's okay, I promise not to cut it off or anything.  I just want to see.

Unholy Terror -- Oh, pooh.  I'm not afraid! -- Indior Lack
P.S.  Does that mean I have holy or unholy inclinations?
P.P.S.  And the way you suck up the skills, maybe I SHOULD be afraid, but...nah.

Blackheart -- That sounds like something you should see a doctor for!  Like it might
be a fungus or something. -- Kerbin Notts
P.S.  Or bacteria, which is just a fancy name for invisible demons of disease.

Timber Walker -- Ah, I can see where being a little guy would help you, sure enough.
You're lighter than someone like me, or, in fact, any of my teammates--I'm the short
one!--so you're less likely to break the limb you're out on.  I've heard it's bad to
be out on a limb that breaks.  Especially if it's way off the ground, of course, but
it's the principle of the thing even if you've only got two feet to drop.  Of course
you've only got two feet to drop, I don't mean to suggest you're a freak or anything!
-- Feordis Ink
P.S.  What is IN this glass that I'm drinking from, anyway?  Why would I say
something like that?  Or is it a case of demonic possession?

Feordis -- Bacterias, probably. -- Kerbin

Zippety -- Ha!  I KNEW if I could just get that net in the right place, you'd run
right INTO it.  Hot doggity.  Now if I can just peel you out of that can, we can get
down to serious tickling. -- Morg Potts

You know, on EVERY ONE of our fights, the audience rose as the fight began.  It was
darned annoying, and distracting, too.  What were they doing, anyway?  It was like
mass exercises or something. -- Jorja, Middle Way

Chaos Invader -- That was truly Chaotic, after all.  If you won them all, it would be
Orderly. -- Imber Lack

Malborgia IV -- A kerbin is a much tougher tree than a mere pine, I assure you. --
Kerbin Notts
