SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly LAPUR games. Former top team CARDOW HUNTERS was
unseated this week as THE TAKEN moved up from 5th ranking to take the top spot with a
3-2-1 record for the round. Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the
corner! Witness how this week THE TAKEN went 3-2-1 to move up 4 in the rankings. My
praise to CLAN CROW for their 3-0-1 week this time out. Indeed, it was a skillfully
fought round deserving of notice! SINISTER FINN caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested THE CREAM and was awarded 20 points
in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, SPIN MCDUECAN put down
WINDFLOWER, causing her to lose 22 points of recognition in the process. This time
victory fell to the grasp of the usurper. All hail THE CLEAR, Duelmaster of LAPUR!
Would you believe that over half of the old women in LAPUR seem to feel that they
could fight better than you gladiators?
Many and various are the arts of battle. In LAPUR "art" is a word that has long
since passed from the language! My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in
LAPUR these days is METAL MINCERS. At least, most blades in town are looking to
avoid them. If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find
any of CLAN CROW last week. Busy avoiding METAL MINCERS? Loose talk at the arena
has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after
BUZZARD. Watch your back! A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games this
week, it seems that HOPE posted a challenge against the more highly recognized
WINTERSONG. The results, you ask? Well, the firebrand HOPE defeated WINTERSONG.
Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel.
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? The warrior's path is harsh. For mediocrity there is but one
reward--death. This past week USHIRO, at 3-6-1, departed LAPUR forever. WINDFLOWER
must hold silent, for this week she was humbled in the arena by a successful
Bloodfeud won by SPIN MCDUECAN of CLAN CROW. Hail SPIN MCDUECAN for thy victory!
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!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? 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 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

Three new recruits? Two graduates and the first Metal Mincer DA in a long time, if
ever? (Steel Squeezer was 21(+1)-6(+1)-16-11(+1)-17(+1)-10-8(+1) and could not learn
at all -- three skills in nine tries; couldn't win either.) Will Oremaster and Ora
continue on? Can they even live together in harmony? Does an old miner really know
how to treat a trophey wife? Can a young, active, lovely put up with a scraggly old
man? If they do continue, can they win and sustain the required Consortium 60% W/L
record with newbies? Stay tuned for hopefully season 13 of Metal Mincers. (Showtime
at 9PM on Sundays) -- The Metal Mincers Advanced Publicity Team
Ambitious Guard -- You were a little too ambitious and it got you kilt! Har har. --
Tungsten Twister
P.S. I hope you come back so I can kill you again.
Hope -- Now that wasn't nice. It left me no hope. You are false advertising! --
Lead Lancer
Wintersong -- You showed me who is boss. Kudos. I am glad I am out of here. --
Plutonium Punch, retired
Argggggghh! 1-3?! Thisn ole miner done got hisn desserts, cuz Ora runned yon team
whilst he done gon ta yer Face. Aye. Sad. -- Oremaster
Oremaster -- Hon, can I design our new recruits? Can I, Hon. Please, please. I'll
make it up to you. (wink, wink) -- Ora
Hello, Lapur! I am back, hopefully for a while. -- Stillgard, mgr The Taken
We hope so, too. Good to see you here again.
Lead Lancer -- That was a great welcome back. -- Hope
Spin -- Almost had you. On a positive note, I think I found my favorite. -- Buzzard
Chisaharu -- I didn't think medium shields could break. -- Ravage
Ushiro -- Smash! Crash! Bam! Boom! -- Enigma
Aruba -- Really? Darn it! -- Hambone
Ora -- If the Oremaster is crochety, have you tried giving him a crochet hook and
some yarn? No telling what you might end up with. Some places, they're making a
kind of weird jewelry out of crocheted wire. -- Grassfire
Owsly -- I have to return your apology, it was NOT our intention to kill Double
McDipper. Heck, we weren't even formally bloodfeuding! Maybe the two of them--
Claybank and Double--will get together in the Great Hunting Grounds and have a
rebirth party? -- Jorja
Plutonium Punch -- This is a surprise to me, but I'll TAKE it. -- Wintersong
Sinister Finn -- I, um, thought you were an approaching shark? -- Snowflake
Double McDipper -- I salute a valiant foe, fallen too soon. Your passing is
regretted. -- Windflower
