                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly DRAGONHEAD games.  Warriors--remember that glory waits 
always around the corner!  Witness how this week DEADLY RAGE went 3-0-0 to move up 4 
in the rankings.  My praise to BAD COMBOS for their 3-0-1 week this time out.  
Indeed, it was a skillfully fought round deserving of notice!  I could not but notice 
the fine record for BASH BROS KEYS (3-0-0) after their first round of combat.  May 
the gods of war favor you in DRAGONHEAD!  A new guild, BASH BROS GOLFER, entered 
DRAGONHEAD with a clash this turn, showing off a 4-0-1 record.  Indeed, a worthy 
addition to the city guilds.  I could not but notice the fine record for BB 
INFOMERCIAL (4-0-1) after their first round of combat.  May the gods of war favor you 
in DRAGONHEAD!  A new guild, BASH BROS FISHERMAN, entered DRAGONHEAD with a clash 
this turn, showing off a 3-0-0 record.  Indeed, a worthy addition to the city guilds. 
SENSATIONALIZED caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he 
skillfully bested EMBEZZLING SCRIBE and was awarded 21 points in recognition.  In one 
of the week's more notable duels, STEROID GAMES put down GENE AUTRY, causing him to 
lose 12 points of recognition in the process.  The city has turned out in honor of 
TURBULENT BILLIARDS, for with its arena victory it may now lay claim to the highest 
position in the city!  No confirmation, but my sources claim that the top team has 
gained their position using magical aids.  Charmed weapons perhaps?   
     Many and various are the arts of battle.  In DRAGONHEAD "art" is a word that has 
long since passed from the language!  My inside sources tell me that the team to beat 
in DRAGONHEAD these days is BASH BROS LAWYER.  At least, most blades in town are 
looking to avoid them.  If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard 
pressed to find any of BAD COMBOS last week.  Busy avoiding BASH BROS LAWYER?  Loose 
talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many 
fighters are after TEENA ULRIK.  Watch your back!  Give TIM SALMON credit for his 
courage.  Did you note how he challenged FREELOADER despite the 28 point difference 
in their rankings?  Do not the gods reward courage?  TIM SALMON it was that claimed 
victory in the bout, while also rising 25 points in recognition.  A match that raised 
a few eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that MAJOR TOM posted a challenge 
against the more highly recognized LEPER MESSIAH.  The results, you ask?  Well, the 
firebrand MAJOR TOM was beat by LEPER MESSIAH.  Remember warriors, this is the 
discipline of steel.  I can not but mention with disdain the name of LONDON BEEFEATER 
who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 9 points below in the rankings.  
I thought LONDON BEEFEATER showed great skill and promise when he beat RONARDA SOLA.  
All right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his 
foe's mortality?  The warrior's path is harsh.  For mediocrity there is but one 
reward--death.  This past week TEENA ULRIK, at 9-17-0, departed DRAGONHEAD forever.  
Death has again visited the sands of our arena.  LAWN DART CATCHING has claimed the 
life of TEENA ULRIK.  Do any doubt that MIDDLE WAY 9 will seek a bloody revenge?  
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 DRAGONHEAD 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

victors Lost in Couch, Not the Real Thing, and Fire Won't Start.  Amazing names some

So there! -- Vardon Weiss

Vardon -- Yeah, right, and two of those wins were over standbys, with the third being
over Chicken S#!^, so what are they worth? -- Ronarda Sola

Ronarda -- They're wins.  They're worth everything. -- Vardon
