                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of KYR'TERR!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  Former top team WESTERN FRONTIER was 
unseated this week as BAD COMBINATIONS moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot 
with a 2-1-0 record for the round.  The proverbial rising comet can only hope to 
compare with BLM BLACKOPS INC's team record!  A 2-1-0 week and now a firm grasp on a 
7th place ranking.  I have begun to suspect trickery on the part of ARLINGTON GRAVES. 
How else weeks like this one's 1-0-0?  How else the sudden move to 17th team?  The 
proverbial rising comet can only hope to compare with HEART BREAKERS' team record!  A 
1-0-0 week and now a firm grasp on a 21st place ranking.  My tutors were fond of 
telling me that the higher you rise the harder you fall.  This week WS ARMS 2012 went 
0-1-0 and fell 13 notches into 34th!  BLACK MAMBA caught the eye of many in the 
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested KNEE OF THE IDOL and was awarded 19 
points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, CHEATING SPOUSE put 
down SARIN, causing her to lose 15 points of recognition in the process.  Due to its 
absence and inability to defend the throne, LEAKY GLASS has lost the title of 
Duelmaster.  The city has turned out in honor of WIND SPEAKER, for with its arena 
victory it may now lay claim to the highest position in the city!  Would you believe 
that over half of the old women in KYR'TERR seem to feel that they could fight better 
than you gladiators?   
     Many and various are the arts of battle.  In KYR'TERR "art" is a word that has 
long since passed from the language!  My inside sources tell me that the team to beat 
in KYR'TERR these days is BLM BLACKOPS INC.  At least, most blades in town are 
looking to avoid them.  Apparently the stalwarts of HAZAARDS OF CLONING 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.  IN YOUR THROAT 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!  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!   
     A thought before I go.  Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise 
manager learn the secrets of them all?  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.--
