                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly ZUKAL games.  Former top team BLUE MOON was unseated 
this week as THE MONGOLOIDS moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top spot with a 
4-1-0 record for the round.  WILYUM caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial 
commission as he skillfully bested BLU JON and was awarded 17 points in recognition.  
In one of the week's more notable duels, WILYUM put down BLU JON, causing him to lose 
17 points of recognition in the process.  Not for nothing has NAHTALEE in the past 
laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week she's proven hers combat skill 
yet again.  No confirmation, but my sources claim that the top team has gained their 
position using magical aids.  Charmed weapons perhaps?   
     Many and various are the arts of battle.  In ZUKAL "art" is a word that has long 
since passed from the language!  I can not but mention with disdain the name of STEEV 
who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 13 points below in the rankings. 
I thought STEEV showed great skill and promise when he won victory over ULTORINO.  
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?  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 ZUKAL.  Nice atmosphere you have here!  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

Donahue -- Let that be a lesson, child, and don't go sassing your elders. -- Blu Jon

Donahue -- You note that Blu Jon had the sense not to say "betters," because we, his
loyal and understanding teammates, would have handed him his head over such a
comment. -- Ultorino and the rest of the Blue Moon crew

Atari 2600 -- I don't think I'm rated to twenty-six hundred.  Only twenty-four fifty.
So I have to pass on this one. -- Bluette

Ha!  The Dangerous Criminal, dread Horlinse himself, is helpless before me!  Am I
good, or what? -- Ultorino

Incisor -- That bites, doesn't it? -- Blue Blotto
P.S.  You might need a crown on that one.

The Cult Member could not withstand my cogent arguments!  He yielded to me, he will
reform and join an Established Church! -- Tiko Ben
P.S.  Unless he's lying, of course.
