SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of NIATOLI ISLAND! Know me for who I am, Zontani
Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Former top team SUMMERTEETH
was unseated this week as SEA DOGS moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot
with a 1-0-0 record for the round. FRANK N STEIN caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested CONVICTED THIEF and was awarded 14
points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, TAVELSHAN KETHAL put
down ELT, causing him to lose 1 points of recognition in the process. Due to his
absence and inability to defend the throne, SHELLBACK has lost the title of
Duelmaster. The city has turned out in honor of KARINIRINA, for with hers arena
victory she may now lay claim to the highest position in the city! Would you believe
that over half of the old women in NIATOLI ISLAND 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 NIATOLI ISLAND.
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. 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? 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

PERSONAL ADS
Myrddin -- Got your diplo. I can't answer it with a diplo of my own at this time,
because key personnel in the Commission office are out of town (I didn't find out
that the staff had gone to Gencon until this morning). Annoying of them. But I can
make a few general suggestions here:
Drop your kill desires! High KDs tend to make too much action and not enough
result, flailing, berserk and unthinking attacks, that kind of thing. Somewhere in
the mid-range might serve your guys better.
Give the Huntress a different weapon, as she does not have the DF for that, nor
the WL to raise the DF.
Don't scrap anybody yet.
If you can PROMISE you won't take it wrong, I will send you a direct letter. I make
this request because some guys to whom I have sent letters directly have taken it as
some kind of a come-on. Honest to Pete, I'm just trying to keep new players
interested by helping them not lose so much! -- Jorja
Shellback -- No surprise there. -- Tavelshan Kethal
A Khalhums Dwarf? Ha! -- Karinirina
Gwenivere -- On the whole, not bad, but maybe you should slow down just a little. --
Kielandor Venansinde
Fishwife -- Flattened with a flounder! -- Hassimor Shomur
Elt -- It's those teeth. -- Kurelleu Zien
