                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of DAL SHANG!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  Former top team THAT SMELL was 
unseated this week as SAND DANCERS moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot 
with a 3-2-0 record for the round.  Did only my eyes note the 3-1-0 record which THE 
MOTHERSHIP CE managed to post this round?  I don't doubt that such a record will draw 
challengers!  VICINITY caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as it 
skillfully bested DENGAN THE TRADER and was awarded 12 points in recognition.  In one 
of the week's more notable duels, OMICRON VELORUM put down METTLE, causing it to lose 
7 points of recognition in the process.  Although KURR LI made a valiant effort, it 
did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious ORANGE PEEL.  Would you believe 
that over half of the old women in DAL SHANG 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 DAL SHANG.  For some warriors honor is not important--only empty 
victory.  See, gladiators, how IRONIC IRONY of THE MOTHERSHIP CE challenged down 24 
points to SHRAAAMP.  The weight of the challenge fell hard upon SHRAAAMP and 
predictably he was beat by IRONIC IRONY.  This is how to arouse the anger of an 
entire guild!   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  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 DAL SHANG 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 
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
