SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly TALCAMA games. Former top team CAULDRON OF HATE was
unseated this week as IMPURE THOUGHTS moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot
with a 2-3-0 record for the round. There were bitter words at STAR WARS: KOTOR's
guildhouse after a 0-2-0 showing this week which dropped the stable into 16th. Dark
Arena anyone? Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner! Witness
how this week FUNKY FOLK went 2-0-0 to move up 6 in the rankings. My praise to
WIZARDGUARD for their 5-0-0 week this time out. Indeed, it was a skillfully fought
round deserving of notice! PEZ caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission
as it skillfully bested MISSION VAO and was awarded 20 points in recognition. In one
of the week's more notable duels, JB BLAH put down KELP FISH, causing it to lose 13
points of recognition in the process. Due to his absence and inability to defend the
throne, CHARNEL has lost the title of Duelmaster. This time victory fell to the
grasp of the usurper. All hail AKAI, Duelmaster of TALCAMA! 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 TALCAMA "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. CAULDRON OF HATE is feared. This much I can
say. Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the better
part of last week avoiding CAULDRON OF HATE. Indeed it was IMPURE THOUGHTS. Loose
talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many
fighters are after MIDNIGHT. Watch your back! I can not but mention with disdain
the name of PIGSTICKER who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 15 points
below in the rankings. I thought PIGSTICKER showed great skill and promise when he
beat HOFFA. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! Was I the only one shocked to see the well
respected fighter HATE ME? (6-1-0) appear on the sands of the Dark Arena? He is now
dead. Some guilds are strict but few are as heartless as CAULDRON OF HATE. Witness,
last turn they sent CONCRETE, a 3-0-0 fighter, to the Dark Arena! Walk proud,
warriors of BIG MEAN FISH! By striking down XYLICARE you have avenged the honor of
your dead. Your virtue is known to all in TALCAMA. Fate is a fickle mistress. She
showers the miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember
this!
The girls are as pretty in TALCAMA as ever I remembered them....and the fighters
as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! More than a sharp eye must I keep, indeed
a stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari await me!
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
