SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly WILLAF games. Former top team SERPENTS HOLD 114 was
unseated this week as GOLDEN GLADIATORS moved up from 4th ranking to take the top
spot with a 4-1-0 record for the round. Fortune did not smile upon POWER LEGION this
time out who this turn suffered a fall into 7th position in the wake of a 0-0-0
round. Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner! Witness how
this week GOLDEN GLADIATORS went 4-1-0 to move up 3 in the rankings. My praise to
SHADOWMONGERS for their 3-1-0 week this time out. Indeed, it was a skillfully fought
round deserving of notice! Although JOHN DERE made a valiant effort, it did not
suffice to topple the reign of victorious SNAKE. 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!
Many and various are the arts of battle. In WILLAF "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language! WILLAF, city of gladiators! Mighty among the
names of thy guilds is REALLY?, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly
duels. If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any
of GOLDEN GLADIATORS last week. Busy avoiding REALLY?? Loose talk at the arena has
reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after MORA.
Watch your back! A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it seems
that HEART OF GOLD posted a challenge against the more highly recognized HORI BULL.
The results, you ask? Well, the firebrand HEART OF GOLD bested HORI BULL. Remember
warriors, this is the discipline of steel.
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. Dark alleys may hide both secrets and
assassins. In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in WILLAF. 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 - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different
story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Khisanth -- It wouold be quite valuable to hear from our Duelmaster, Snake, in a DM
Column, now and then. We all enjoy hearing hissy fits now and then. There is much
to learn from them. -- Midas, Golden Gladiators
Golden Gladiators -- I had been worried of late, but your recent 4-1-0 success has
stemmed my fears. Well done, Team. -- Midas
Kung-Fu Master -- The fu-foo was nice and the dung-fung quite mild. It was a
pleasure adding the win to my collection. -- Goldplated
Derron -- You again? I sorta would rather avoid you. You BOBs are too strong and
smart and powerful and all. -- Heart Of Gold
Black Indekker -- See, golden flash means lightning, or is it flash in the pan?
Either way, I guess I was cookin' today. -- Golden Flash
Tulane Rhoades -- Today I can say that my practice fees were money well spent. --
Gold Dubloon
Dangerous Criminal -- Phbtt! No danger there! -- Golden Globe
May all your days be golden. -- Midas and The Golden Gladiators
Hmm, what does it say about Willaf that the popularity leader and favorite is Dee
Nile? What are we refusing to see?
Midas -- I hope so, but will they pay me a ransom? Pride is not much use when you
need to repair your ship. Gold is better. Hmmm, you have gold.... -- Black Indekker
Snake -- I was thrilled when you approached me, so slim and graceful... and then it
turned out that all you had in mind was violence. No, no, no, make love, not war! --
John Dere
Fission -- Quite right! I do NOT believe that. You paste those pieces back together
and you'll see that *I* won. I'm sure of it. -- Dee Nile
Gold Dubloon -- Maybe I should become a toll road? -- Tulane Rhoades
Golden Flash -- I have an occupational susceptibility to the flash of gold. Any
time, any place, gold gets my attention. -- Black Indekker
P.S. The NERVE of that steward, calling us "amateurs"!
Nightstalker -- You can go ahead and monger your shadows here, I don't mind. I like
to lurk in 'em. Maybe we can... oh, you're a golem. Well, some other shadowmonger,
maybe. -- Hori Bull
