                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of BLACKSTONE!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  Former top team THE DONALD was 
unseated this week as MAILIN TIME moved up from 10th ranking to take the top spot 
with a 1-0-0 record for the round.  The proverbial rising comet can only hope to 
compare with TOURNEY TIME 26's team record!  A 1-0-0 week and now a firm grasp on a 
3rd place ranking.  I have begun to suspect trickery on the part of DUEL HACKS.  How 
else weeks like this one's 1-1-0?  How else the sudden move to 4th team?  The 
proverbial rising comet can only hope to compare with SEMI-WORTHLESS' team record!  A 
1-0-0 week and now a firm grasp on a 6th place ranking.  I have begun to suspect 
trickery on the part of SERPENTS HOLD 618.  How else weeks like this one's 1-0-0?  
How else the sudden move to 8th team?  The proverbial rising comet can only hope to 
compare with WC ALLSTARS' team record!  A 1-0-0 week and now a firm grasp on a 13th 
place ranking.  I have begun to suspect trickery on the part of SKY HIGH.  How else 
weeks like this one's 1-0-0?  How else the sudden move to 15th team?  My tutors were 
fond of telling me that the higher you rise the harder you fall.  This week GONE OFF 
THAT TOO went 0-1-0 and fell 16 notches into 18th!  FEAR FACTORY 15 bore the brunt of 
major assault on their standings this week as they dropped to 19th position as the 
result of going 1-1-0!  The proverbial rising comet can only hope to compare with 
071709 AC's team record!  A 1-2-0 week and now a firm grasp on a 20th place ranking.  
I have begun to suspect trickery on the part of THE SUPERHEROES.  How else weeks like 
this one's 1-0-0?  How else the sudden move to 31st team?  The proverbial rising 
comet can only hope to compare with QUEEZY's team record!  A 1-0-0 week and now a 
firm grasp on a 34th place ranking.  My tutors were fond of telling me that the 
higher you rise the harder you fall.  This week STATIC SANITY went 0-1-0 and fell 21 
notches into 38th!  STUCK IN THE MUD bore the brunt of major assault on their 
standings this week as they dropped to 43rd 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 THE GOVERNMENT went 0-1-0 and fell 12 notches into 48th!  LUCKLESS RAINBOW 
caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested 
USELESS and was awarded 121 points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable 
duels, CUT YOUR HAIR put down METALLIC GUZZLER, causing him to lose 18 points of 
recognition in the process.  Although EFFICIENT ASSESSMENT made a valiant effort, it 
did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious HEMLOCK.  Heed this!  A seer has 
warned that if exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole city shall perish!  Just 
remember...5 or 7!   
     I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently 
transpired.  Indeed there is much I would report.  BLACKSTONE, city of gladiators!  
Mighty among the names of thy guilds is SUPERIOR FORCES DA02, a guild shunned and 
avoided by many in the weekly duels.  Apparently the stalwarts of 012112AS are 
catching the bulk of jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the 
avoids.  Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the 
knowledge that many fighters are after METALLIC GUZZLER.  Watch your back!   
     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!   
     The girls are as pretty in BLACKSTONE as ever I remembered them....and the 
fighters as ugly!  Don't let your reputation slip!  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
