It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the clash and bustle of the weekly KYR'TERR games. Former top team ENROUTE TO ST LOUIS was unseated this week as WESTERN FRONTIER moved up from 5th ranking to take the top spot with a 3-0-0 record for the round. There were bitter words at ENTENTER's guildhouse after a 0-0-0 showing this week which dropped the stable into 14th. Dark Arena anyone? Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner! Witness how this week OTTAWA SENATORS went 3-0-0 to move up 6 in the rankings. Did only my eyes note the 3-0-0 record which WESTERN FRONTIER managed to post this round? I don't doubt that such a record will draw challengers! MERCURY SABLE caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as it skillfully bested FAIZUN GOTE and was awarded 18 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, MERCURY SABLE put down FAIZUN GOTE, causing him to lose 14 points of recognition in the process. Not for nothing has AYE OF THE NEEDLE in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week he's proven his combat skill yet again. No confirmation, but my sources claim that the top team has gained their position using magical aids. Charmed weapons perhaps? I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. KYR'TERR, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of thy guilds is ENTENTER, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels. Apparently the stalwarts of WESTERN FRONTIER 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. FAIZUN GOTE take warning! You have more than a few enemies in KYR'TERR. 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 KYR'TERR as ever I remembered them....and the fighters as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! 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 AYE OF THE NEEDLE 3376 19 10 0 104 HAZAARDS OF CLONING (373) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -I OF THE KNEE DOLL 3532 11 11 1 110 HAZAARDS OF CLONING (373) EYE OF THE NEEDLE 3379 15 11 0 103 HAZAARDS OF CLONING (373) -KOOL GREEN 6179 17 18 1 95 ENTENTER (702) -<CORUSCATOR> 5645 13 13 0 92 SUPERIOR FORCES ZC (631) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -GUNBURN 3890 11 9 3 86 MONSTER RANCHER (412) -LES PAUL 6173 14 6 0 78 ENTENTER (702) -MISSISSAUGA 6007 7 0 0 73 ENROUTE TO ST LOUIS (683) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -I OF THE NEEDLE 3377 10 13 0 65 HAZAARDS OF CLONING (373) ALBUQUERQUE 6009 5 1 0 63 WESTERN FRONTIER (684) MERCURY SABLE 6123 4 0 1 60 OUT OF THIS WORLD (697) BENITO CHATTE 6184 11 23 1 57 THE ZOO (703) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BROWN EYED SUSAN 5823 5 1 0 54 NEW YORK (662) -BARRIE 6003 4 0 1 54 ENROUTE TO ST LOUIS (683) RICK MONDAY 6110 4 0 0 48 HEART BREAKERS (695) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SANDIA RIDGE 6012 4 1 0 41 WESTERN FRONTIER (684) TURNPIKE 5822 4 1 0 38 NEW YORK (662) FAIZUN GOTE 6233 6 3 0 37 THE ZOO (703) OUTER SPACE 6093 2 2 0 37 VACANT LOTS (692) TRYPTOPHAN 5634 3 4 0 34 SUPERIOR FORCES ZC (631) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -DISTORTION 6169 4 2 0 33 ENTENTER (702) -FINGER LAKES 5821 4 2 0 31 NEW YORK (662) -ATHOS 6253 2 1 0 31 THE MUSKETEERS (689) DANNY HEATLEY 6115 3 0 0 30 OTTAWA SENATORS (696) -KINGSTON 6037 4 0 0 29 ENROUTE TO ST LOUIS (683) -TOLLBOOTHS 5824 3 0 1 29 NEW YORK (662) -HALIFAX 6106 2 0 1 28 BOMBS AWAY (694) -DUSTIN HERMANSON 6133 2 0 0 27 WS ARMS '05 (699) PERRY SATURN 6121 4 0 0 26 OUT OF THIS WORLD (697) SANTE FE 6008 2 1 1 26 WESTERN FRONTIER (684) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -MINNEAPOLIS 6004 5 2 0 23 ENROUTE TO ST LOUIS (683) -KING NEPTUNE 6122 2 0 0 23 OUT OF THIS WORLD (697) -FRANK THOMAS 6128 2 1 0 21 WS BATS '05 (698) -DIMEBUCKER 6168 2 3 0 20 ENTENTER (702) -PROFESSOR OLDER 5825 2 2 0 20 NEW YORK (662) RAY EMERY 6119 2 0 0 18 OTTAWA SENATORS (696) JASON SPEZZA 6116 1 1 0 18 OTTAWA SENATORS (696) HALDA IMPOLA 6234 4 5 0 17 THE ZOO (703) DORINE EAGEL 6232 4 5 0 17 THE ZOO (703) -BOBBY JENKS 6134 2 0 0 16 WS ARMS '05 (699) -SEYMOUR DUNCAN 6170 4 3 0 15 ENTENTER (702) -THE CHAMP 6257 1 0 0 14 TWO MAN CREW (706) -OK CORRAL 6036 1 1 0 14 WESTERN FRONTIER (684) -PAUL KONERKO 6125 1 0 0 13 WS BATS '05 (698) -MARS BAR 6124 2 0 0 10 OUT OF THIS WORLD (697) KULLY LAMM 6261 2 3 0 9 THE ZOO (703) -FREDDY GARCIA 6130 1 1 1 9 WS ARMS '05 (699) -VENUS DE MILO 6120 1 1 0 8 OUT OF THIS WORLD (697) -ONRAY 6251 1 2 0 6 THE MUSKETEERS (689) -THE GAME 6260 1 1 1 5 TWO MAN CREW (706) -D'ARTAGNAN 6252 1 2 0 5 THE MUSKETEERS (689) -H.B.K. 6259 1 0 0 5 TWO MAN CREW (706) -JAC 6263 1 1 0 4 THE MUSKETEERS (689) -JOC 6262 0 2 0 2 THE MUSKETEERS (689) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

Outer Space -- Well, I'm surprised I learned even one skill from you. After all, everyone says outer space is quite empty and void. It seems like this is not ENTIRELY true, eh? -- Halda Impola Jason Spezza -- (shocked look) They elect GOLEMS as senators? Hmm. Actually, that might be an advantage. Fewer human passions, especially since you are without gender, to get in the way.... -- Kully Lamm Halifax -- Boy, some people just can't take a little difficulty!
