Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Former top team STRIKER FORCE was unseated this week as CM - SCORPIO moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top spot with a 3-0-0 record for the round. XI AQUILAE caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested STRIKE 2 and was awarded 17 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, VENOMOUS CONCUBINE put down STRIKE 4, causing him to lose 15 points of recognition in the process. Due to his absence and inability to defend the throne, VENOM has lost the title of Duelmaster. This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper. All hail PISCES, Duelmaster of VALAMANTIS! Would you believe that over half of the old women in VALAMANTIS seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators? But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades that is city VALAMANTIS. VALAMANTIS, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of thy guilds is MOB RULE, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels. Apparently the stalwarts of CM - SCORPIO are catching the bulk of jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. LITTLE BOY take warning! You have more than a few enemies in VALAMANTIS. What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his foe's mortality? Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this! 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 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 PISCES 4848 7 0 1 104 CM - SCORPIO (464) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -VENOM 3600 8 3 0 107 MOB RULE (372) XI AQUILAE 4794 25 9 1 99 AQUILA (470) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME STRIKE 4 4829 14 11 0 84 STRIKER FORCE (19) STRIKE 2 114 17 18 2 82 STRIKER FORCE (19) ST.
