Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. There were bitter words at RED SECTOR A's guildhouse after a 2-2-0 showing this week which dropped the stable into 7th. Dark Arena anyone? Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner! Witness how this week INSECTS went 2-2-0 to move up 5 in the rankings. 1001001 caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as it skillfully bested SLOW DRIP and was awarded 16 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, 1001001 put down SLOW DRIP, causing him to lose 15 points of recognition in the process. Not for nothing has BOLD BLIGHT in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week he's proven his combat skill yet again. 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! But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades that is city SOLVEN. I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's challenge seeking began. NEON TREES is feared. This much I can say. Apparently the stalwarts of INSECTS 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 GIULIANI. Watch your back! I can not but mention with disdain the name of BOOGEYMAN who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 12 points below in the rankings. I thought BOOGEYMAN showed great skill and promise when he overcame KID GLOVES. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal! Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand ready at your right hand forever! 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 SOLVEN. Nice atmosphere you have here! 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 DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BOLD BLIGHT 7957 9 2 0 136 WRATHMEN 24-10 (855) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME HEART OF THE WOOD 7883 20 15 0 97 NEON TREES (849) THE TIME PROPHET 7798 23 23 1 96 PROTECTORS (695) 7 OF 9 7839 14 8 1 92 RED SECTOR A (840) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BOOGEYMAN 7894 18 13 0 88 SNOT QUITE RIGHT (93) ZEEK 7956 7 1 0 78 WRATHMEN 24-10 (855) KID GLOVES 7793 14 13 0 72 RED SECTOR A (840) THE ENEMY WITHIN 7796 15 13 1 69 RED SECTOR A (840) CEDARBURN 7882 15 16 1 67 NEON TREES (849) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME WILLOW REAVER 7938 14 8 0 64 NEON TREES (849) DUNCAN HUNTER 6634 11 6 1 60 THE REPUBLICANS (103) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME GIULIANI 6633 10 7 1 56 THE REPUBLICANS (103) -ALLIGATOR CHAR 7947 3 1 1 56 249 BOURBON ST (854) SMOOR 7940 5 8 0 53 PROTECTORS (695) COMING ACHOO 7942 11 9 0 50 SNOT QUITE RIGHT (93) 1001001 7878 7 8 0 47 RED SECTOR A (840) MEBIAN 7971 6 10 0 36 MIDDLE WAY 15 (747) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MEDAN 7964 5 13 0 28 MIDDLE WAY 15 (747) TANGLEWEAVE 7996 5 2 1 26 NEON TREES (849) BLACKBURN 8006 3 1 0 25 THE REPUBLICANS (103) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SLOW DRIP 7982 6 5 0 23 SNOT QUITE RIGHT (93) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME WIST 7989 5 6 0 22 PROTECTORS (695) J.D.
