                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of JADE MOUNTAIN!  Know me for who I am, Zontani 
Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  Former top team SAND DANCERS 
was unseated this week as HEROS OF HAGUS moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top 
spot with a 4-1-0 record for the round.  A new guild, JADED WARRIORS, entered JADE 
MOUNTAIN with a clash this turn, showing off a 4-0-1 record.  Indeed, a worthy 
addition to the city guilds.  VIVAMUS ME caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial 
commission as she skillfully bested MILES and was awarded 21 points in recognition.  
In one of the week's more notable duels, AGNOR put down ABBA GOLD, causing her to 
lose 14 points of recognition in the process.  Although RUMBLER made a valiant 
effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious COLD STEEL.  Would you 
believe that over half of the old women in JADE MOUNTAIN seem to feel that they could 
fight better than you gladiators?   
     But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades 
that is city JADE MOUNTAIN.  I can not but mention with disdain the name of BELLA who 
this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 9 points below in the rankings.  I 
thought BELLA showed great skill and promise when she beat KEITH RICHARDS.  All 
right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  ZAZZER must hold silent, for this week she was 
humbled in the arena by a successful Bloodfeud won by TOMTOM of HEROS OF HAGUS.  Hail 
TOMTOM for thy victory!  Fate is a fickle mistress.  She showers the miserable with 
fortune but sets enemies against the victorious.  Remember this!   
     If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times 
already in JADE MOUNTAIN.  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:  a 
fool flies into a rage quickly and often.  The wise are angered by the same thing 
only once.  Zontani Sharp Eyes

Cold Steel -- You always give me a chill. -- Lady Chao

Standbys are NOT supposed to win. -- Rumbler

Yes, well, MINE lost.  So there. -- Han Ki

Another standby, but losing properly. -- Hotdog

And that makes us one loss to a managed gladiator, and two-two against standbys.  Not 
a stellar day for us. -- Hai Tai
