Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. BLACKHAWK caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested CRANKY OLD COOT and was awarded 15 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, TEX IMPERSONATOR put down LAME OX, causing him to lose 2 points of recognition in the process. Not for nothing has FRANKIE in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week it's proven its combat skill yet again. Would you believe that over half of the old women in DULLENS seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators? But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades that is city DULLENS. What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his foe's mortality? Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this! 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 DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME FRANKIE 5579 13 13 0 93 SERPENTS HOLD 929 (591) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME PARAGON ORCA 5573 18 13 0 70 7TH SANCTUM (590) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BLIND OWL 5561 10 27 0 62 CARDOW HUNTERS (445) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SKYFIRE 5593 8 3 0 56 CARDOW HUNTERS (445) LAUGHTER REDKNIFE 5594 4 1 0 44 CARDOW HUNTERS (445) LAME OX 5592 8 5 0 38 CARDOW HUNTERS (445) -KYRENE 466 7 2 1 35 ARMOURED SAINTS (7) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -CRANADOR 465 5 3 0 18 ARMOURED SAINTS (7) BLACKHAWK 5596 1 0 0 15 CARDOW HUNTERS (445) -STEVN 563 2 0 0 11 ARMOURED SAINTS (7) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -RACTON 562 0 2 0 2 ARMOURED SAINTS (7) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

NOT TRUE. He's just trying to weasel out of something. He is OURS, and we have pointed this out to the Commission. -- Blind Owl, for the Cardow Hunters LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS FRANKIE bested TOODLES ENSLAVED! in a 4 minute Title fight.

There often was, but surely not now? Alarond the Scribe, who had drawn office duty today, frowned at them. A stocky, fit, moderately handsome gladiator stepped up to the counter. "I want a name-change," he said. "How can I do my best known as," he shuddered, "'Dangling Eyeball'? My name is Joe, and I want to use it." A small and very shapely woman stepped up beside him. "And I am really tired of being known as 'DA Bait'." She smiled, causing Alarond to sway where he stood. "I'd like to be known as... Aphrodite, I think." The others crowded forward, each advancing a claim, the babble of voice rising to a roar, the crowd beginning to look like a mob--and every member of it armed and dangerous. Alarond raised his hands to quiet them, without much success. He raised his voice, too. "We'll do it! A Name-Change-O-Rama, as soon as we can get the paperwork lined up! Two or three months, maybe--" The gladiators howled in protest at the delay. "No, listen! The files here are HUGE, it will take time to get everything straight. You've got to be patient. It WILL happen!" * * * * * Warrior and team name changes will be accepted during the month of January. If you have names you want to change, please contact Customer Service. -- RSI
