                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of DWES EG!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  The proverbial rising comet can only 
hope to compare with PHILANTHROPISTS 10's team record!  A 3-2-0 week and now a firm 
grasp on a 4th place ranking.  I have begun to suspect trickery on the part of ROOKIE 
MAIDEN 39.  How else weeks like this one's 1-0-0?  How else the sudden move to 13th 
team?  The proverbial rising comet can only hope to compare with PROBLEMS' team 
record!  A 1-0-0 week and now a firm grasp on a 18th place ranking.  My tutors were 
fond of telling me that the higher you rise the harder you fall.  This week ROOKIE 
CULT 38 went 0-1-0 and fell 13 notches into 21st!  MADNESS bore the brunt of major 
assault on their standings this week as they dropped to 22nd position as the result 
of going 0-1-0!  Did only my eyes note the 3-0-0 record which DEADWOOD managed to 
post this round?  I don't doubt that such a record will draw challengers!  TYPHOON 
caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested 
SKELETON and was awarded 31 points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable 
duels, MOON BEAR put down STORM TITAN, causing him to lose 12 points of recognition 
in the process.  This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper.  All hail 
BULLOCK, Duelmaster of DWES EG!  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 DWES EG.  DWES EG, city of gladiators!  Mighty among the names of thy 
guilds is BIG STRONG MEN, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels.  
Apparently the stalwarts of IN THE CLOSET 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.  STORM SHADOW take warning!  You have more than 
a few enemies in DWES EG.   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  The warrior's path is harsh.  For mediocrity there 
is but one reward--death.  This past week SKELETON, at 19-16-1, departed DWES EG 
forever.  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 DWES EG.  Nice atmosphere you have here!  Sadly warriors, now longer can I 
keep thy company nor savor the ale of thy fine city.  Depart I must and soon!  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
