                                      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.  Fortune did not smile upon ROYAL 
FLUSH this time out who this turn suffered a fall into 10th position in the wake of a 
1-3-0 round.  Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner!  Witness 
how this week LAZY BOYZ went 4-1-0 to move up 8 in the rankings.  My praise to LAND 
OF OZ for their 3-0-0 week this time out.  Indeed, it was a skillfully fought round 
deserving of notice!  GOOMBAH caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission 
as he skillfully bested DANCING QUEEN and was awarded 17 points in recognition.  In 
one of the week's more notable duels, GOOMBAH put down DANCING QUEEN, causing her to 
lose 14 points of recognition in the process.  This time out THE WARRIOR made hers 
bid for the throne as she challenged CLANCY in an all out contest of skill for 
possession of the title!  This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper.  All 
hail THE WARRIOR, Duelmaster of NORTH FORK!  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.  NORTH FORK, city of gladiators!  
Mighty among the names of thy guilds is ERRATA!, a guild shunned and avoided by many 
in the weekly duels.  Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that 
spent the better part of last week avoiding ERRATA!.  Indeed it was LAND OF OZ.  
Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that 
many fighters are after DAVID.  Watch your back!  MUNCHKIN must really be harboring a 
grudge against the TIMELY HEROES guild!  Merciless, 17 challenged down MAD MAX points 
this week to duel with he.  The weight of the challenge fell hard upon MAD MAX and 
predictably he lost to MUNCHKIN.  This is how to arouse the anger of an entire guild! 
I can not but mention with disdain the name of MAHX OHVERFAIL who this week posted a 
challenge to a warrior a full 8 points below in the rankings.  I thought MAHX 
OHVERFAIL showed great skill and promise when he beat QUINTUS.  All right, so I slept 
through it!  Big deal!   
     Vendettas.  Bloodied blades and broken spears.  Indeed the city has seen more 
than its fair share of red in recent times.  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!  
     A thought before I go.  Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise 
manager learn the secrets of them all?  More than a sharp eye must I keep, indeed a 
stout pair of legs must I keep as well!  The endless paths of Alastari await me!  
Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a 
different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
