SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly DRAGONHEAD games. Former top team SUE'S BOYS was
unseated this week as RAPTOR moved up from 4th ranking to take the top spot with a
4-1-0 record for the round. Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the
corner! Witness how this week RAPTOR went 4-1-0 to move up 3 in the rankings.
BADGER caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as it skillfully bested
ANDAR and was awarded 22 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable
duels, BADGER put down ANDAR, causing him to lose 19 points of recognition in the
process. Although KUNG-FU MASTER made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple
the reign of victorious SLO-PITCH. Heed this! A seer has warned that if exactly 6
die in duels this week, the whole city shall perish! Just remember...5 or 7!
Many and various are the arts of battle. In DRAGONHEAD "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language! I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when
this week's challenge seeking began. BARBARIAN HORDE is feared. This much I can
say. If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any of
SUE'S BOYS last week. Busy avoiding BARBARIAN HORDE? Mighty fighters cannot but
expect competition from those below. FREDDY GARCIA take warning! You have more than
a few enemies in DRAGONHEAD.
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!
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 next we meet remember - the pen is mightier
than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

Any and all who live in the 805 area, I would like for you to call me so we can get
together for BBQ's, softball games, and so on. It has been a while since the last
get together (several years). It was a blast and I am sure the next one will be
also. We just have to do it. All alliances are welcome. Just because my warriors
leave your warrior beaten and bloody in defeat does not mean we can't have a beer or
five together. I'll even buy the first round. So call 805-588-3419 and ask for Dave
a.k.a. Misfit, former member of the Green and Purple Polka Dot Alliance (GAPPDA).
