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.

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 LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS DURIN viciously subdued BRENNA in a 4 minute bloody Challenge fight.
