Know what I mean? Get used to me.Now it is my turn. I had an easy fight against one of those aimer things, so I enter the throne with but little sweat. Nice try Krosa; I hope you don't enter The Isle in a depressed mood due to the spanking. Uppity. That's me. Haughty; arrogant; cheeky; swanky; presumptuous; audacious; all me. Live with it, folks; for I am... Duelmaster. -- Uppity SPY REPORT Hail and well met warriors of TOBIR! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Fortune did not smile upon PHOENIX GUARD this time out who this turn suffered a fall into 9th position in the wake of a 0-0-0 round. My praise to THIS MODERN WORLD for their 3-1-0 week this time out. Indeed, it was a skillfully fought round deserving of notice! EDWINA caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested RACER and was awarded 22 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, EDWINA put down RACER, causing him to lose 11 points of recognition in the process. Not for nothing has UPPITY in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week she's proven hers combat skill yet again. 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 TOBIR. TOBIR, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of thy guilds is SAGE SOLDIERS, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels. Apparently the stalwarts of ANYTHING GOES 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. SNORRY take warning! You have more than a few enemies in TOBIR. Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand ready at your right hand forever! My hearty congratulations CRPL MAX KLINGER, for thy revenge upon RISHKAR, slayer of thy fallen comrade. Next time he will know better, eh? Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always! If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times already in TOBIR. 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 - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME UPPITY 5753 16 4 0 110 ANYTHING GOES (571) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME EDWINA 5815 7 1 0 88 MS01 07 (577) CRPL MAX KLINGER 3183 12 4 0 82 SAGE SOLDIERS (350) STRIP TEASE 5808 7 3 0 78 ANYTHING GOES (571) LT KERRI STRUG 3185 10 12 1 74 SAGE SOLDIERS (350) RACER 5754 17 6 0 71 ANYTHING GOES (571) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME PUNCHER'S CHANCE 5735 6 2 0 62 2159 BOURBON ST (569) COMMANDER POWLE 4593 5 4 0 61 SAGE SOLDIERS (350) SNEELY 5748 13 17 0 59 THE DOGHOUSE (188) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -ANXIOUS 5751 7 3 0 54 ANYTHING GOES (571) CALIX 5766 8 6 0 52 NEON DRUIDS (572) RISHKAR 5765 7 10 1 52 NEON DRUIDS (572) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SILENT MAJORITY 5821 6 4 0 47 THIS MODERN WORLD (576) SNORRY 5757 8 20 0 44 THE DOGHOUSE (188) MUMBLE RAP 5809 5 7 2 37 THIS MODERN WORLD (576) ALL GUNS BLAZING 5826 6 2 0 35 SAXON (578) POLLENBRIGHT 5803 7 9 0 34 NEON DRUIDS (572) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MJR FRANK BURNS 3184 5 8 0 32 SAGE SOLDIERS (350) SMELFIE 5822 3 2 0 29 THIS MODERN WORLD (576) SONG OF EVIL 5825 4 4 1 24 SAXON (578) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SLOW LANE BLUES 5835 3 3 1 20 SAXON (578) CONQUISTADOR 5828 2 6 0 15 SAXON (578) BOOKENDER 5837 1 0 0 7 THIS MODERN WORLD (576) QUIRION 5842 0 1 0 1 NEON DRUIDS (572) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
