SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly ARKERS games. Former top team TRIAL BY COMBAT was
unseated this week as FIGHTING IRISH moved up from 5th ranking to take the top spot
with a 2-2-0 record for the round. Warriors--remember that glory waits always around
the corner! Witness how this week FIGHTING IRISH went 2-2-0 to move up 4 in the
rankings. My praise to BOOK OF THOMAS for their 3-1-0 week this time out. Indeed,
it was a skillfully fought round deserving of notice! ALEMBIC caught the eye of many
in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested LUXOR and was awarded 19
points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, ALEMBIC put down
LUXOR, causing him to lose 19 points of recognition in the process. As is fitting,
the most sought after warrior on the challenge boards this week was none other than
Duelmaster CORRECT CHANGE himself. Most watched of the fights this week, the
spotlight was on DEE NILE as she bore arms against the challenge of reigning
Duelmaster CORRECT CHANGE. This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper. All
hail DEE NILE, Duelmaster of ARKERS! Would you believe that over half of the old
women in ARKERS seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators?
Many and various are the arts of battle. In ARKERS "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. BOOK OF THOMAS 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 BB
PUBLIC TRANSIT last week. Busy avoiding BOOK OF THOMAS?
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? 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!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? Sadly warriors, now longer can I keep thy
company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till we meet
again, remember: a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a
lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
