                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly NIYTYOLE ISLAND games.  Former top team COLGATE DAYS 
was unseated this week as JOYS OF BOOZE moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top 
spot with a 2-0-0 record for the round.  There were bitter words at ARENA FELINES' 
guildhouse after a 0-0-0 showing this week which dropped the stable into 7th.  Dark 
Arena anyone?  KANSAS caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as she 
skillfully bested CONVICTED THIEF and was awarded 13 points in recognition.  In one 
of the week's more notable duels, OLD MILLWATER put down TAPANGA, causing her to lose 
2 points of recognition in the process.  Although IRON CHEF made a valiant effort, it 
did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious DARTMAN.  Informants "close" to the 
city champion have told me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his 
armor.  Watch out!   
     But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades 
that is city NIYTYOLE ISLAND.  I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this 
week's challenge seeking began.  LUROCIANS II 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 LUROCIANS II.  Indeed it was COLGATE DAYS.   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  Some guilds are strict but few are as heartless as 
COLGATE DAYS.  Witness, last turn they sent DAVE GAGNON, a 2-0-0 fighter, to the Dark 
Arena!  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 NIYTYOLE ISLAND as ever I remembered them....and the 
fighters as ugly!  Don't let your reputation slip!  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
