                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of BLACKSTONE!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  I have begun to suspect trickery on 
the part of TEO'S TROUBLES.  How else weeks like this one's 1-0-0?  How else the 
sudden move to 5th team?  The proverbial rising comet can only hope to compare with 
2011 PLAYOFFS' team record!  A 1-0-0 week and now a firm grasp on a 7th place 
ranking.  I have begun to suspect trickery on the part of BROKEN SWORDS.  How else 
weeks like this one's 1-0-0?  How else the sudden move to 18th team?  ROOKIE 
METALLICA 8 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!  PUKE caught the eye of many 
in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested ERNEST DERVISHIAN and was 
awarded 19 points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, JUSTICE 
FOR ALL put down SORE, causing him to lose 16 points of recognition in the process.  
This time out FORCED SUBTEXT made hers bid for the throne as she challenged ONE 
VISION in an all out contest of skill for possession of the title!  Although FORCED 
SUBTEXT made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious 
ONE VISION.  Informants "close" to the city champion have told me that he never 
fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor.  Watch out!   
     Many and various are the arts of battle.  In BLACKSTONE "art" is a word that has 
long since passed from the language!  BLACKSTONE, city of gladiators!  Mighty among 
the names of thy guilds is WARRIORS 11, 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 WARRIORS 11.  Indeed it was 011312R.  Mighty 
fighters cannot but expect competition from those below.  FORCED SUBTEXT take 
warning!  You have more than a few enemies in BLACKSTONE.   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins.  
In the arena there is only the brightness of steel.  Keep vigil always!   
     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 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
