SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly BLACKSTONE games. Former top team INTERNATIONAL DRIVE
was unseated this week as SEMI-WORTHLESS moved up from 4th ranking to take the top
spot with a 1-0-0 record for the round. I have begun to suspect trickery on the part
of WILD THINGS. How else weeks like this one's 1-1-0? How else the sudden move to
8th team? My tutors were fond of telling me that the higher you rise the harder you
fall. This week THINGS I HATE went 0-1-0 and fell 14 notches into 24th! The
proverbial rising comet can only hope to compare with THINGS I HATE 2's team record!
A 1-0-0 week and now a firm grasp on a 25th place ranking. PUPPY DOG caught the eye
of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested GIG and was awarded 20
points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, EARLY MORNINGS put
down TROPHY WIFE, causing her to lose 9 points of recognition in the process.
Although SOFTY CHEESE made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign
of victorious BONDS. Would you believe that over half of the old women in BLACKSTONE
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 BLACKSTONE. BLACKSTONE, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of
thy guilds is BASHUR BRIGADE 2.0, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly
duels. Apparently the stalwarts of Q-SCHOOL 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. AFFLECK take warning! You have more than a
few enemies in BLACKSTONE.
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. 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!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in BLACKSTONE. 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
