OK, ok; so I beat Ellen Gallio for Duelmaster. But it didn't count much, because there was so little interest, and the world runs on interest, right? The boss said so. If there was lack of interest, I will not get many skills and I will lose interest, then Credit will go broken and well, whatever. Just challenge me. OK? I need more kills. (and more interest.) -- Amex SPY REPORT Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the clash and bustle of the weekly ROCANIS games. Former top team MIDDLE WAY 20 was unseated this week as KNIGHTS OF NI moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top spot with a 3-2-0 record for the round. QUICKEN caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as it skillfully bested RIRORNI SOLDIERS and was awarded 22 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, NEWT put down ELIN GALLIO, causing her to lose 10 points of recognition in the process. Not for nothing has AMEX in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week it's proven its combat skill yet again. Informants "close" to the city champion have told me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor. Watch out! But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades that is city ROCANIS. I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's challenge seeking began. Q IS FOR QUIET 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 Q IS FOR QUIET. Indeed it was KNIGHTS OF NI. Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after HOUSTON FARMER. Watch your back! At the gambling halls I have started to bet money on DEAD COLLECTOR. He has got the courage it takes. Witness his challenge this turn against HOUSTON FARMER! The KNIGHTS OF NI stable will be up late tonight, for indeed it was DEAD COLLECTOR who claimed victory in the contest, ascending 26 in recognition! What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his foe's mortality? Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always! The girls are as pretty in ROCANIS as ever I remembered them....and the fighters as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off city calling to me. I must away! 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 AMEX 4778 11 3 1 116 CREDIT (479) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -T BONES 4551 13 8 2 102 THEM (433) NEWT 4805 9 5 0 102 KNIGHTS OF NI (19) -LOCKLEAR 4721 9 2 0 99 MEN OF STEEL (131) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DEAD COLLECTOR 4781 8 9 1 86 KNIGHTS OF NI (19) -ROO 4742 13 15 2 84 MEN OF STEEL (131) ELIN GALLIO 4491 18 13 0 79 MIDDLE WAY 20 (435) -ARUTHA 4723 7 0 1 79 MEN OF STEEL (131) SIR GAWAINE 4771 11 7 0 76 KNIGHTS OF NI (19) HOUSTON FARMER 4428 11 40 1 74 MIDDLE WAY 20 (435) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -GENIUS AWESOME 4402 4 1 0 63 MEN OF STEEL (131) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME GILBERT IRDAN 4541 10 13 1 53 MIDDLE WAY 20 (435) HUSH 4755 4 0 0 53 Q IS FOR QUIET (475) -TITLE MAX 4796 7 3 0 52 CREDIT (479) QUICKEN 4823 6 2 1 50 CREDIT (479) BUMS 4811 4 1 1 42 THEM (433) PEACE AND 4705 3 1 0 40 Q IS FOR QUIET (475) BLOODY PEASANT 4809 5 5 0 39 KNIGHTS OF NI (19) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ISAM KORL 4536 6 18 1 37 MIDDLE WAY 20 (435) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME FIRST NATIONAL 4808 5 6 0 33 CREDIT (479) -CARBINIERI 4814 3 1 0 32 THEM (433) WHISPER 4745 2 0 1 25 Q IS FOR QUIET (475) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -DINER'S CLUB 4774 6 3 1 22 CREDIT (479) FANNON 4724 1 0 1 20 MEN OF STEEL (131) ITCHES 4810 4 2 0 18 THEM (433) -STREET MIME 4704 0 1 0 1 Q IS FOR QUIET (475) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
