                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly ERINIKA games.  Former top team THE BULLS was unseated 
this week as ALPHABET SOUP moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a 
2-0-0 record for the round.  The proverbial rising comet can only hope to compare 
with TEAM MANTIS V's team record!  A 1-0-0 week and now a firm grasp on a 4th place 
ranking.  I have begun to suspect trickery on the part of LUDUS MAGNUS XII.  How else 
weeks like this one's 1-0-0?  How else the sudden move to 5th team?  The proverbial 
rising comet can only hope to compare with MYTHOS 12's team record!  A 1-0-0 week and 
now a firm grasp on a 9th place ranking.  I have begun to suspect trickery on the 
part of VELA.  How else weeks like this one's 1-0-0?  How else the sudden move to 
11th team?  The proverbial rising comet can only hope to compare with FAV SAYINGS 2's 
team record!  A 1-1-0 week and now a firm grasp on a 14th place ranking.  I have 
begun to suspect trickery on the part of LIFE AND DEATH.  How else weeks like this 
one's 1-1-0?  How else the sudden move to 15th team?  The proverbial rising comet can 
only hope to compare with ALL ABOUT LINT's team record!  A 1-1-0 week and now a firm 
grasp on a 16th place ranking.  LUDUS MAGNUS M bore the brunt of major assault on 
their standings this week as they dropped to 25th position as the result of going 
0-1-0!  My tutors were fond of telling me that the higher you rise the harder you 
fall.  This week ANTLIA went 0-1-0 and fell 15 notches into 26th!  AURIGA bore the 
brunt of major assault on their standings this week as they dropped to 27th position 
as the result of going 0-1-0!  My tutors were fond of telling me that the higher you 
rise the harder you fall.  This week ARA went 0-1-0 and fell 15 notches into 28th!  
CALENDAR GIRLS bore the brunt of major assault on their standings this week as they 
dropped to 29th position as the result of going 0-1-0!  SAZUN caught the eye of many 
in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested PLAYING MANTIS and was awarded 
41 points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, SUHAIL put down 
ARBELAS, causing him to lose 17 points of recognition in the process.  Due to his 
absence and inability to defend the throne, GALLUS has lost the title of Duelmaster.  
This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper.  All hail P.D.Q., Duelmaster of 
ERINIKA!  Informants "close" to the city champion have told me that he never fights 
without pantyhose on beneath his armor.  Watch out!   
     But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades 
that is city ERINIKA.  My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in ERINIKA 
these days is MYTHOS 14.  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 
ALPHABET SOUP last week.  Busy avoiding MYTHOS 14?  Mighty fighters cannot but expect 
competition from those below.  ALPHA TUCANAE take warning!  You have more than a few 
enemies in ERINIKA.   
     What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his 
foe's mortality?  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!   
     If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times 
already in ERINIKA.  Nice atmosphere you have here!  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
