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 INTERNATIONAL DRIVE
was unseated this week as DRIPPING WITH... moved up from 16th ranking to take the top
spot with a 2-1-0 record for the round. The proverbial rising comet can only hope to
compare with DRIPPING WITH...'s team record! A 2-1-0 week and now a firm grasp on a
2nd place ranking. I have begun to suspect trickery on the part of BODY BY OTTO.
How else weeks like this one's 2-1-0? How else the sudden move to 9th team? The
proverbial rising comet can only hope to compare with SIMPLY THE BEST's team record!
A 1-0-1 week and now a firm grasp on a 11th place ranking. I have begun to suspect
trickery on the part of THIRSTY THUGS 1340. How else weeks like this one's 1-0-0?
How else the sudden move to 12th team? The proverbial rising comet can only hope to
compare with MORNING FIX's team record! A 1-0-0 week and now a firm grasp on a 14th
place ranking. I have begun to suspect trickery on the part of THIRSTY THUGS 1460.
How else weeks like this one's 1-0-0? How else the sudden move to 15th team? The
proverbial rising comet can only hope to compare with ALGOPHOBIACS' team record! A
1-0-0 week and now a firm grasp on a 18th place ranking. I have begun to suspect
trickery on the part of SONG FIRE ICE 1. How else weeks like this one's 1-0-0? How
else the sudden move to 19th team? SOUP FORCES 31 bore the brunt of major assault on
their standings this week as they dropped to 20th position as the result of going
0-1-0! The proverbial rising comet can only hope to compare with THIRSTY THUGS
0504's team record! A 1-0-0 week and now a firm grasp on a 35th place ranking.
FLORA CAPASSO caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully
bested BIG and was awarded 18 points in recognition. In one of the week's more
notable duels, STATIONARY GIANT put down US AND THEM, causing him to lose 6 points of
recognition in the process. Although CUCUMBER made a valiant effort, it did not
suffice to topple the reign of victorious THENDYRA. 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 WILD THINGS, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels.
Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the better part
of last week avoiding WILD THINGS. Indeed it was BODY BY OTTO. I cannot but express
pride for the fearlessness of TROPHY WIFE who cast caution to the winds and
challenged MUDDY HERETIC, a fighter 59 points higher. In the end TROPHY WIFE was
beat by MUDDY HERETIC, a "sharp" reminder that higher recognition is an indication of
greater skill. Still, it was a worthy bout! Give POORLY SUHTED credit for hers
courage. Did you note how she challenged KANPOV despite the 46 point difference in
their rankings? 3 points of newly earned recognition and a dose of my admiration is
what POORLY SUHTED must now weigh against the defeat which resulted. At the gambling
halls I have started to bet money on TSUHNAMI. She has got the courage it takes.
Witness hers challenge this turn against CASSANDRA SMASHYOUUP! To be sure the battle
was a losing one. But I like to think TSUHNAMI at least gave CASSANDRA SMASHYOUUP a
run for his money.
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. My sources at UNGENTLE BENS stable claim
they've never seen the guild bitterer. This as a result of the untimely demise of
BIG. Beware FLORA CAPASSO! 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 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
