SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of XOCHITHLAN! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Former top team KIWI CONNECTION was
unseated this week as THE MIDDLE WAY moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top spot
with a 5-0-0 record for the round. BRUNEI caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial
commission as he skillfully bested KOIVU and was awarded 20 points in recognition.
In one of the week's more notable duels, BRUNEI put down KOIVU, causing it to lose 10
points of recognition in the process. Our Duelmaster has lost, folks, lost to
COLLABORATOR, BUT MASSEY is still the Duelmaster because he has the most recognition
points! 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.
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! 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? Sadly warriors, now longer can I keep thy
company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till next we
meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different
story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Hobson -- I was SUPPOSED to be wearing that shield! I guess I got nervous before the
fight and forgot. -- Morgana Black
Horvanth Irnde -- Didn't think I'd win that, I was trying new weaponry and tactical
strategies. Surprised myself there. -- Desslock Cain
Salome Torene -- You're a genus goddess and I fear your wrath. -- Bash ARtadi
Selaane -- I'm so pissed right now. I've been irregular since that loss. Happy now?
Is THAT what you wanted? -- Sylah Ventress
Mahovlich -- I won, I won? I won! Did the planets align or did hell freeze over?
Are pigs flying yet? -- Jalabhaus Xho
Wovern Yansy -- I was wearing plate as I didn't think I was fast enough to dodge
blows. Guess my logic was mistaken. -- Jalabhaus Xho
All -- I'd *love* to try Noblish Island, just can't afford it. Besides, I'm having
fun romping around Xochitlan. I love you guys! -- Lobo, mgr. SW2
All -- How does "losing" a skill work? I've heard I can lose skills by training
stats. Also, what is a "TV?" -- Lobo
Sylah Ventress -- Round 2 wasn't nearly as close, was it? So much for your perfect
record. A lot can happen in a single match. We'll meet again, I'm sure! -- Selaane
Jalabhaus Xho -- Kudos for a well-fought victory. I think I ate too much poutine
prior to the battle. -- Mahovlich
Wovern Yansy -- You got the best of me that time. Well done! Perhaps a slight
change of strategy (and weapon) and we'll see next time. -- Habbiboulin
Bash Artadi -- Ah, but by hitting a woman, you open the door for her to hit you BACK.
-- Salome Torene
Desslock Cain -- Yeah, it usually does. -- Ulrik Venn
Morgana Black -- It's a Delarquan arena, after all. And besides, in a small arena
like this, sometimes the only challenges you can get are down. Although you could
challenge up into the next class, I believe? -- Wovern Yansy
Lobo -- Ah, fishing for specific skills. Tricky. My guess--and that's all it is--
would be that you should train the stats that bring parry skills with 'em. As to
which stats those might be, sorry, not my study. But I'll ask around. -- Jorja
Bash Artadi -- And I *did* hit you back, too. -- Salome Torene
Hokowhitu -- I was never that fond of owls, now that I come to think about it. --
Bettina Chim
Desslock Cain -- What I should have done, of course, is give you a loss. You need
one. It provides balance. But I was distracted, probably by having been *hit* a
lot. Ouch. -- Horvanth Irnde
P.S. Any hits are "a lot."
Hotham -- Mustard! -- Ulrik Venn
Habbiboulin -- Oh, cheese louise with basil and tomatoes! Okay. You're stuck with
the style, not a good one for a beginner. The weapon... drop it. Get something that
isn't as tricky to use, maybe a scimitar? Drop the off-hand entirely, well, not the
HAND, but if you're having a DF problem, you don't want to be juggling two things at
once. And it isn't like it was doing you any good. If you have the WL for it, try
training your DF. As Jorja has said to us more than once, better to train a stat and
burn skills than to die. -- Wovern Yansy
P.S. And good luck. I honestly wish you well. An arena is only as good as the
warriors who fight there, and Xochithlan needs us all and fighting WELL.
