                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Pitfall Harry, what a surprise to see you...dropping into that pit.  What
really amazes me is that the maintenance crew lets you dig the pit there in the
first place.  You'd think they would be against it.

                                        Balin

                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly MURSKA games.  Warriors--remember that glory waits 
always around the corner!  Witness how this week LORD OF MORIA went 1-0-0 to move up 
4 in the rankings.  LOONY caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he 
skillfully bested BILDIS and was awarded 23 points in recognition.  In one of the 
week's more notable duels, LOONY put down BILDIS, causing him to lose 21 points of 
recognition in the process.  Although PITFALL HARRY made a valiant effort, it did not 
suffice to topple the reign of victorious BALIN.  Informants "close" to the city 
champion have told me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor.  
Watch out!   
     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 THE BEARS, a guild shunned and avoided by 
many in the weekly duels.  Apparently the stalwarts of LORD OF MORIA are catching the 
bulk of jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids.  
Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that 
many fighters are after BRENNA.  Watch your back!   
     What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his 
foe's mortality?  Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins.  In the arena 
there is only the brightness of steel.  Keep vigil always!   
     If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times 
already in MURSKA.  Nice atmosphere you have here!  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

Jungle King -- I'm, er, sure it's amazing that you can balance a banana on your
elbow, but has it never occurred to you that the arena, in the middle of a fight,
might not be the place and time for this, ah, remarkable performance? -- Bildis

Dangerous Criminal?  Bah, humbug. -- Culann Coontz

The Userous Merchant has no shame.  He tried to get mine to make up for it. -- Aidan
O'Kai

To be a Convicted Thief should not be something to boast about. -- Brenna

20 April 2007
All -- I've been...out of circulation for the last couple of months, and my lists
are not up to date.  If you've announced a manager name, a new alliance, or changed
a manager name or alliance since the middle of February, let me know in the ads, via
diplo, or in an e-mail (Sue (at) solberg-mathews (dot) com).  For that matter, if
you just want to make sure I've got things right, you can always do the same. -- The
Saint, keeper of lists
