SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly ZENSU games. JUNKYARD DOG caught the eye of many in
the gladiatorial commission as it skillfully bested STROKE and was awarded 8 points
in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, JUNKYARD DOG put down
STROKE, causing him to lose 6 points of recognition in the process. Most watched of
the fights this week, the spotlight was on SANGUINE as he bore arms against the
challenge of reigning Duelmaster THE MAD CARROT. Although SANGUINE made a valiant
effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious THE MAD CARROT.
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. ZENSU, city of gladiators! Mighty
among the names of thy guilds is PHILANTHROPISTS, a guild shunned and avoided by many
in the weekly duels. If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard
pressed to find any of BLOOD ANGELS last week. Busy avoiding PHILANTHROPISTS?
Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. O. POSTE take
warning! You have more than a few enemies in ZENSU. I can not but mention with
disdain the name of VIRULENT who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 14
points below in the rankings. I thought VIRULENT showed great skill and promise when
he won victory over DARRON LINZ. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! Some say a warrior is judged by the way he bears
arms. One thing is sure, better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in ZENSU. Nice atmosphere you have here! Sadly warriors, now longer can I
keep thy company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till
we meet again, remember: a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no
one; a lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Sanguine -- Euwh. You didn't have to be so...so true to your name, did you? I may
never get the stains out of this armor. -- Darron Linz
Ah, the Khalhums Dwarf. Five really tedious minutes, and all I get out of it is a
win and a parry skill. Piffling. Floccinaucinihilipilificate. -- O. Poste
Crimson Feast -- Hmm. Tomato soup? No, it's borscht. Well, still, rather heavy for
this time of year. But if that's what you like, then go for it. -- Tilarin
Slice -- Only ONE, dammit. You have no license for plural slicing. -- Dellis Linz
26 May 2006
The Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire want to announce the joining of a new
member who cherishes the same ideals, respect and loyalty that we hold dear.
From this day forward let all know that Blackstorm is now a Dark Knight of the
Desolate Empire Alliance. With him as our chosen brother, our alliance only becomes
stronger. Let all his foes become ours, and ours his. May all our enemies' blood
flow freely and give NO quarter in war.
This is also a warning to any cowards, bullies, etc.... If you play with fire,
you WILL get burnt!!!
Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire

To those involved, no, I have not abandoned your stories. But I've been letting them
drift, and that has to stop, so I am taking the time to make sure that I know where
they are going, more than just "what happens next" dreamed up on the fly, before
resuming work on them. No new stories will be started until at least one of the old
ones has concluded, for the same reason: quantity can't substitute for quality.
Your patience in this matter is appreciated. -- the Scribe
