Final standings and scores.  Next turn the prize list will be posted in the
newsletter.

Scoring Note: Alliance Scores last turn were incorrect.  Teams were supposed
to have been awarded 6 points for fighting 15 warriors instead of 3.  This has
been adjusted back (though all alliances except AK47 fought 15 warriors, so it
had no other impact on the standings or relative scores.)

                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly NORTH FORK games.  Former top team MUSIC MAYHEM was 
unseated this week as ROYAL FLUSH moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top spot with 
a 3-2-0 record for the round.  PSY CORPS bore the brunt of major assault on their 
standings this week as they dropped to 16th position as the result of going 1-4-0!  
My tutors were fond of telling me that the higher you rise the harder you fall.  This 
week ERRATA! went 1-4-0 and fell 16 notches into 20th!  My praise to SHEWISH DINER 
for their 4-1-0 week this time out.  Indeed, it was a skillfully fought round 
deserving of notice!  TEN A. SHUSS caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial 
commission as he skillfully bested MENIAL and was awarded 128 points in recognition.  
In one of the week's more notable duels, APT. ZZRAB put down DARK SOHO, causing it to 
lose 22 points of recognition in the process.  This time victory fell to the grasp of 
the usurper.  All hail TEN A. SHUSS, Duelmaster of NORTH FORK!  Heed this!  A seer 
has warned that if exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole city shall perish!  
Just remember...5 or 7!   
     I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently 
transpired.  Indeed there is much I would report.  My inside sources tell me that the 
team to beat in NORTH FORK these days is SATAN'S MINIONS.  At least, most blades in 
town are looking to avoid them.  If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been 
hard pressed to find any of REIGNNCATSNDOGS last week.  Busy avoiding SATAN'S 
MINIONS?  Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below.  BROKEN 
FAUCET take warning!  You have more than a few enemies in NORTH FORK.  At the 
gambling halls I have started to bet money on ROTE.  He has got the courage it takes. 
Witness his challenge this turn against BROKEN FAUCET!  I must admit to some joy.  
Before my very eyes the underdog in this contest, ROTE, defeated BROKEN FAUCET to 
claim victory and recognition.  I cannot but express pride for the fearlessness of 
STRAW FIRE who cast caution to the winds and challenged JERMAN, a fighter 50 points 
higher.  In the end STRAW FIRE was defeated by JERMAN, a "sharp" reminder that higher 
recognition is an indication of greater skill.  Still, it was a worthy bout!   
     Vendettas.  Bloodied blades and broken spears.  Indeed the city has seen more 
than its fair share of red in recent times.  My hearty congratulations REMNANT 
RANGER, for thy revenge upon ZIPPY, slayer of thy fallen comrade.  Next time he will 
know better, eh?  Fate is a fickle mistress.  She showers the miserable with fortune 
but sets enemies against the victorious.  Remember this!   
     The girls are as pretty in NORTH FORK as ever I remembered them....and the 
fighters as ugly!  Don't let your reputation slip!  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:  a fool flies into a rage quickly and often.  The wise are 
angered by the same thing only once.  Zontani Sharp Eyes
