Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Former top team DIAMOND LINGO was unseated this week as MI CASA moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a 3-1-1 record for the round. BREXITEER caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested UNCLE CHARLIE and was awarded 19 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, BREXITEER put down UNCLE CHARLIE, causing him to lose 15 points of recognition in the process. This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper. All hail SHORT PORCH, Duelmaster of RODEKI! 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 RODEKI. RODEKI, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of thy guilds is THE DREAMING, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels. Apparently the stalwarts of MI CASA 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. CHIN MUSIC take warning! You have more than a few enemies in RODEKI. As a gladiator gets older, the icy grip of fear lays hold of his heart. True, SAY IT AIN'T SO? Who could miss your "brave" challenge of SHORT PORCH? Surprising everyone, SHORT PORCH defeated SAY IT AIN'T SO, earning 10 points of recognition in the process! A knave's just desserts are the sweetest victory. 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! The girls are as pretty in RODEKI 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 - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SHORT PORCH 5424 14 2 0 108 DIAMOND LINGO (477) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BREXITEER 5349 12 7 0 106 DYSTOPIA (466) SAY IT AIN'T SO 5421 10 4 0 100 TOP FIVE JOES (476) DESIRE 5435 11 2 1 97 THE ENDLESS (478) BESSIE SMITH 4100 19 22 0 91 MO' BETTER BLUES (365) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BRITISH CUISINE 5335 13 6 0 84 DYSTOPIA (466) UNCLE CHARLIE 5426 10 8 1 83 DIAMOND LINGO (477) MURDER HORNET 5351 13 10 0 78 DYSTOPIA (466) CART HORSE 5395 16 29 0 77 DELVERS (154) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ELIFAS KENT 5451 13 12 1 64 DELVERS (154) LADDER 5408 11 28 1 62 DELVERS (154) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME GIG ECONOMY 5437 3 1 0 50 DYSTOPIA (466) THE CLOSER 5428 8 10 0 48 DIAMOND LINGO (477) -HOPE MILLS 5520 4 0 0 37 MI CASA (485) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME CREVE COEUR 5523 1 1 0 25 MI CASA (485) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME GOLDEN SOMBRERO 5485 0 1 0 19 DIAMOND LINGO (477) LAUNCH THE RICH 5404 3 3 0 18 DYSTOPIA (466) BEID 5488 1 0 0 18 ERIDANUS (481) MUSKEGO 5521 3 1 0 14 MI CASA (485) PICKENS 5524 1 1 1 14 MI CASA (485) ANGETENAR 5489 1 0 0 8 ERIDANUS (481) KOKOMO 5522 1 1 0 8 MI CASA (485) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
