                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly LIN TIRIAN games.  Former top team PERRY COUNTY was 
unseated this week as SAND DANCERS moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot 
with a 4-1-0 record for the round.  Did only my eyes note the 4-1-0 record which SAND 
DANCERS managed to post this round?  I don't doubt that such a record will draw 
challengers!  ST. CROIX caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as it 
skillfully bested MY DOCTOR FRIEND and was awarded 13 points in recognition.  In one 
of the week's more notable duels, ST. CROIX put down MY DOCTOR FRIEND, causing him to 
lose 14 points of recognition in the process.  As is fitting, the most sought after 
warrior on the challenge boards this week was none other than Duelmaster STUNNING 
INLAY himself.  This time out CANNELTON made its bid for the throne as it challenged 
STUNNING INLAY in an all out contest of skill for possession of the title!  Not for 
nothing has STUNNING INLAY 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 LIN TIRIAN these days is L5R PHOENIX CLAN.  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 PERRY COUNTY last week.  Busy avoiding L5R PHOENIX CLAN?  
     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!   
     A thought before I go.  Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise 
manager learn the secrets of them all?  More than a sharp eye must I keep, indeed a 
stout pair of legs must I keep as well!  The endless paths of Alastari await me!  
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

Stunning Inlay, a mere suitcase, is Duelmaster? Well, hubba, hubba. -- Smitty

Inlay, you are awfully difficult to open, but I shall try again. -- Cannelton

My Rule Of Thumb, I guess you could say I thumbed my nose at your rule. -- Leopold

Ephraim, I didn't have it, did I. Not enough umpf! I will work on that. Salute. -- 
Tobinsport.

Perry County, land of towns and villages and homesteads and farms and rednecks. -- 
Smitty

Leopold -- Appreciate your condolences. While I prefer the sunshine of living, I 
understand the dangers of gladiator life. Perhaps the GC will look favorably upon me 
in the TOD. By the time this post is viewed, we'll all know. It's hard to be confident 
when the boss was seen placing bets on me NOT coming back. As the old saying goes, 
"Life's a bitch, then you die!" -- Ghost of Sniksnak
P.S. Technically speaking, Boss Orc manages the orc teams, but it's all good. LOL  
Ok Headhunter, your turn to die, err, I mean shine. Yea, get out there and make me 
proud. -- Boss Orc
