It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the clash and bustle of the weekly MURSKA games. Former top team BUSY, BUSYTOWN was unseated this week as THE BEARS moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a 2-0-1 record for the round. Fortune did not smile upon FLIPPERS ARCADE 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 PHILANTHROPISTS 3 went 0-1-0 to move up 3 in the rankings. FARON caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested KHALHUMS DWARF and was awarded 13 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, VETERAN MERCENARY put down BALIN, causing him to lose 8 points of recognition in the process. Unwilling to wait upon the will of others, Duelmaster OH OHLISH OMINAH challenged TAKE COVER last week in a match to decide the fate of the throne. This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper. All hail TAKE COVER, Duelmaster of MURSKA! Would you believe that over half of the old women in MURSKA seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators? I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. MURSKA, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of thy guilds is CHILDREN OF LLYR, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels. Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the better part of last week avoiding CHILDREN OF LLYR. Indeed it was THE BEARS. Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. TAKE COVER take warning! You have more than a few enemies in MURSKA. Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more than its fair share of red in recent times. The warrior's path is harsh. For mediocrity there is but one reward--death. This past week BELGO, at 2-7-0, departed MURSKA forever. Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always! 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.

Good work if you can get it. And graduation, as well! Amazing, congratulations. -- Faron Take Cover -- Do you ever plan on giving the covers BACK? It gets cold here at night. -- Cadal Coontz Noreaster -- A final cold blow as you leave town? (sigh) Okay. But you could have taught me something! -- Kai That Convicted Assassin is a tough little bugger. I'm not surprised they convicted him, I've seldom seen anyone more villainous. But I'm surprised they caught him in the first place. He doesn't look like someone who would come easily. -- Balin The One -- Okay, I'll bite. The one what? -- Belgo 11 August 2006 All -- I support Vendetta Cartel's observation of The Dark Knights! If war is declared on V.C. by The Dark Knights, then war is also declared on The Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire by The Avengers of Light! We have been quietly awaiting such a chance to expose ourselves (all interested parties contact me c/o The Barbarians: DM 31, Attn: Timothias)! Come, Vendetta Cartel, let us show these broke-down "Knights" what true warriors are! -- Gemini Goldphoenix, Overlord of The Avengers of Light LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS OH OHLISH OMINAH was devastated by TAKE COVER in a 1 minute Challenge Title fight. FARON viciously subdued KHALHUMS DWARF in a action packed 1 minute brutal battle. KAI overpowered VETERAN MERCENARY in a 1 minute mismatched duel. BALIN was devastated by VETERAN MERCENARY in a 2 minute brutal one-sided fight. CADAL COONTZ devastated KUNG-FU MASTER in a 1 minute uneven brawl.
