                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly KOLACT games.  Former top team QUBIT was unseated this 
week as SIR AGLIO moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a 3-1-1 record 
for the round.  My praise to THE MOONDOGS for their 3-1-0 week this time out.  
Indeed, it was a skillfully fought round deserving of notice!  ESTRELLA caught the 
eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested QUASIMODO and was 
awarded 29 points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, ESTRELLA 
put down QUASIMODO, causing him to lose 32 points of recognition in the process.  
Although ACTAON made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of 
victorious QUO VADIS.  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 KOLACT.  Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. 
LAUGHTER take warning!  You have more than a few enemies in KOLACT.   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  I must report the passing of MR SHRDLU, veteran of 
many duels.  9-9-0 final record His was not illustrious--but death plays no 
favorites.  Cruelly, SIR ENDER of SIR AGLIO has slain the lesser ranked MR SHRDLU.  
Word already flies around town that SPRINGBORN plans a bloodfeud!  Fate is a fickle 
mistress.  She showers the miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the 
victorious.  Remember this!   
     If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times 
already in KOLACT.  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:  a fool 
flies into a rage quickly and often.  The wise are angered by the same thing only 
once.  Zontani Sharp Eyes

RIP Moonday

Cynica -- Arrrgh!!!  Slash and Gore... up to my armpits in it.  RRRrrrr...  I'm an
untamed berzerker on the loose.  "Killing's" my middle name and I threaten all who
face me face-to-face.  ...well, cept'n during tea time, of course. (gore and
crumpets?) -- Mr. Shrdlu

Sir Cumference -- Normally I'm a big fan of whale watching.  Stately behemoths of the
deep don't usually come this far inland though.  Must be the pull of the moon, you're
caught in the extremely high tide. -- Waldo

Sir Cophagus -- That's what we're talking about.  I'm gathering accolades while
Waldo's hacking at boulder brains... silly boy. -- Wanda

Quo Vadis -- And the good news is, you're graduating.  It isn't that we hate you and
want to see you leave, honest.  We like you and are glad to see you victorious.
Really. -- Actaon

Sir Broke Stroker -- If you could bet on yourself, you wouldn't be broke, would you?
-- Estrella

Quip -- H, n!  Killed by a sharp wrd! -- Ghst f Mnday, the ttally deflated

Mr Shrdlu -- You may CLAIM to be innocent of poor Moonday's death, but you're the one
who began it with your coveting of his Os. -- Cynica

Napoleon -- Very appropriate. -- Callisto
P.S.  But don't hold your hand inside your shirt, man, use it for a weapon!
P.P.S.  Against somebody else, of course.
