Sun Tzu, Duelmaster, has asked me, his revered manager with the pretty asp, to pen hios DM Column for him. Therefore, I share this about Sun Tzu: Sun Tzu was a Chinese general, military strategist, writer and philosopher who lived in the Eastern Zhou period of ancient China. Sun Tzu is traditionally credited as the author of The Art of War, an influential work of military strategy that has affected Western and East Asian philosophy and military thinking. His works focus much more on alternatives to battle, such as stratagem, delay, the use of spies and alternatives to war itself, the making and keeping of alliances, the uses of deceit and a willingness to submit, at least temporarily, to more powerful foes. Sun Tzu is revered in Chinese and East Asian culture as a legendary historical and military figure. His birth name was Sun Wu and he was known outside of his family by his courtesy name Changqing. The name Sun Tzu by which he is best known in the Western World is an honorific which means "Master Sun". -- Brought to you by Cleopatra and her friends at Wikipedia. SPY REPORT Hail and well met warriors of JADE MOUNTAIN! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. HAI CHI caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as it skillfully bested NAPOLEON and was awarded 17 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, HAI CHI put down NAPOLEON, causing him to lose 12 points of recognition in the process. Not for nothing has SUN TZU in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week he's proven his combat skill yet again. Informants "close" to the city champion have told me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor. Watch out! I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in JADE MOUNTAIN these days is CRITICALS. At least, most blades in town are looking to avoid them. Apparently the stalwarts of JADED WARRIORS are catching the bulk of jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his foe's mortality? 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 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 DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SUN TZU 3809 18 4 1 118 JADED WARRIORS (335) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME GERONIMO 3810 16 3 1 110 JADED WARRIORS (335) PLUM BLOSSOM 3824 17 12 2 99 SAND DANCERS (67) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ATTILA THE HUN 3811 13 8 0 86 JADED WARRIORS (335) EGGCRACKER 3834 12 11 0 82 SAND DANCERS (67) WHITE TIGER 3844 10 3 1 79 SAND DANCERS (67) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -HANNIBAL 3849 7 1 0 52 JADED WARRIORS (335) HAI CHI 3842 6 9 0 47 SAND DANCERS (67) GRUNGE GRRRL 3851 3 0 0 41 ROCK CLUB (339) JO MING 3841 9 13 0 40 SAND DANCERS (67) -GAMMA SAGITTAE 3832 3 0 0 40 SAGITTA (337) NAPOLEON 3843 6 3 0 37 JADED WARRIORS (335) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -BETA SAGITTAE 3831 3 3 0 31 SAGITTA (337) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -ALPHA SAGITTAE 3830 4 2 0 20 SAGITTA (337) -THETA SAGITTAE 3848 2 0 0 17 SAGITTA (337) -CHERRY BABE 3853 1 0 0 13 ROCK CLUB (339) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -ZETA SAGITTAE 3847 0 2 0 2 SAGITTA (337) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
