                                      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 BASH BROS REMOTE 
was unseated this week as UNLIKELY HEROES moved up from 8th ranking to take the top 
spot with a 2-0-0 record for the round.  Fortune did not smile upon BASH BROS LIGHTS 
this time out who this turn suffered a fall into 16th position in the wake of a 0-0-0 
round.  Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner!  Witness how 
this week BB FLASHLIGHT went 0-0-0 to move up 5 in the rankings.  PUNKA caught the 
eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested STARGAZER and was 
awarded 33 points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, PUNKA put 
down STARGAZER, causing her to lose 19 points of recognition in the process.  Due to 
his absence and inability to defend the throne, AMWAY has lost the title of 
Duelmaster.  This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper.  All hail GOLGO 13, 
Duelmaster of DRAGONHEAD!  Would you believe that over half of the old women in 
DRAGONHEAD seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators?   
     Many and various are the arts of battle.  In DRAGONHEAD "art" is a word that has 
long since passed from the language!  DRAGONHEAD, city of gladiators!  Mighty among 
the names of thy guilds is BB INFOMERCIAL, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the 
weekly duels.  Apparently the stalwarts of 022116B 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.  YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE take warning!  
You have more than a few enemies in DRAGONHEAD.  TANK TOP must really be harboring a 
grudge against the OUTCASTS guild!  Merciless, 18 challenged down YOUR WORST 
NIGHTMARE points this week to duel with it.  Few would not have guessed the outcome 
of the bout as YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE was defeated by TANK TOP.  Is this what passes 
for courage in DRAGONHEAD?   
     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?  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
