It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the clash and bustle of the weekly FRATSFA games. Former top team DARQUE AGES was unseated this week as WAH CHING moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a 2-3-0 record for the round. Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner! Witness how this week BASH BROS ROAD SIGN went 3-0-0 to move up 6 in the rankings. WEI YAN caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested URSILA RILVAR and was awarded 19 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, WEI YAN put down URSILA RILVAR, causing her to lose 19 points of recognition in the process. Due to his absence and inability to defend the throne, ZOUM LA BOUSE has lost the title of Duelmaster. The city has turned out in honor of JASMIN, for with hers arena victory she may now lay claim to the highest position in the city! 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! Many and various are the arts of battle. In FRATSFA "art" is a word that has long since passed from the language! I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's challenge seeking began. BLOOD AND GUTS! is feared. This much I can say. Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the better part of last week avoiding BLOOD AND GUTS!. Indeed it was FLOWER GIRLS. Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after HU YAN ZHUO. Watch your back! At the gambling halls I have started to bet money on DEADLY RAGE. He has got the courage it takes. Witness his challenge this turn against PETULANT PANSY! In the end DEADLY RAGE was bested by PETULANT PANSY, 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. 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 FRATSFA. 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 DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME JASMIN 4176 17 14 0 106 JADE WARRIORS (430) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -ZOUM LA BOUSE 4037 33 15 0 147 BLOOD AND GUTS!

(wink) -- Cautious Crocus Salina -- Hon, you seem to have little problem wrestling with me in the arena sand and mud, and taking the top position, so why not go all the way? -- Cautious Crocus Ellis Tate -- Perhaps that tussle made you feel more at home in the arena. There is more where that came from. (wink) Visit me at The Flower Shoppe? -- Lashing Lily Wei Yan -- Thanks for letting me have my way with you. It was quite the climactic affair! (Wowser!) -- Petulant Pansy Congrats to you again, Zoum THE Duelmaster. My gals lust for you. Where have you been? -- Lady Fern Acapulco? Good luck to all in The Mailer. Do Fratsfa proud. -- Lady Fern and The Flower Girls In a surprising move for The Consortium affiliated teams, Lashing Lily asked to "get out of this life." Gladiating simply is not "her thing." Therefore 9-5-12-11-9-21- 17 striker, Lashing Lily, hosed multiple places including damage-doing, will visit The Dark Arena. We'll miss you, Lily. -- Lady Fern First I get one fighting without instructions. Then I get one that doesn't fight WITH instructions. Hopefully we will get things right this time. I guess that is what happens when signs are unreadable, hidden, or covered in graffiti. People just do not know what to do. -- Assur Corpse Rot -- My apologies for the instructions you fought with. They were supposed to be for Graffiti. Sadly, those instructions were good enough to beat me at my own game. -- Assur Okay, so we were grumpy. Sue us. -- the Middle Way The papers will be delivered first thing in the morning. Caustic Crocus -- It was probably the beeswax on my armor. Beeswax is proof against all kinds of hostile substances, even caustics, I think. -- Salina Rees I was more devastated by the CONCEPT of a "Noble Assassin" than by the man himself. I'm just not seeing that. Why not call him a "Noble Hitman"? -- Ursila Rilvar Lashing Lily -- Ah! So THAT is how it should go. Very good. I will remember and do it that way next time! Thank you. -- Ellis Tate LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS LASHING LILY was dealt death by LAURENTS OF ARABIA in a 2 minute Dark Arena fight. CAUSTIC CROCUS unbelievably bested LI KUI in a 6 minute veteran's Challenge duel. VELVET ROSE subdued HU YAN ZHUO in a 3 minute gruesome Challenge fight. WEI YAN devastated URSILA RILVAR in a popular 1 minute one-sided Challenge contest. MILO was viciously subdued by SEI BHAT PO in a action packed 6 minute Challenge brawl. DEADLY RAGE was devastated by PETULANT PANSY in a 1 minute mismatched Challenge match. YURISHIDO was overpowered by HIDDEN in a 2 minute uneven Challenge melee. JASMIN vanquished SALINA REES in a 1 minute uneven Title duel. SUN QIAN was overpowered by AMBITIOUS GUARD in a 1 minute uneven duel. UNREADABLE overpowered ELLIS TATE in a 1 minute one-sided fight. GRAFFITI handily defeated SHIFTYEYED VOLUNTEER in a 1 minute one-sided bout.
