SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly NIANIA games. Former top team WORTHLESS MANAGERS 3
was unseated this week as METAL CHURCH moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top spot
with a 4-1-1 record for the round. Fortune did not smile upon OF WOLF & DROW this
time out who this turn suffered a fall into 13th position in the wake of a 0-1-0
round. Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner! Witness how
this week VULGAR UNICORN went 1-0-0 to move up 4 in the rankings. My praise to
RESURRECTION for their 3-1-1 week this time out. Indeed, it was a skillfully fought
round deserving of notice! HITMAN caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial
commission as she skillfully bested ICA BRIGHTLITE and was awarded 32 points in
recognition. Who here was not present for the title fight this week as THE DEALER
boldly challenged CHYLEYA in order to strive for the Duelmasters honors? Not for
nothing has CHYLEYA in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week
she's proven hers combat skill yet again. No confirmation, but my sources claim that
the top team has gained their position using magical aids. Charmed weapons perhaps?
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city NIANIA. NIANIA, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of thy
guilds is STRANGE PLANET, 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 STRANGE PLANET. Indeed it was DEEP ELVES. Mighty fighters
cannot but expect competition from those below. FAKE HEALER take warning! You have
more than a few enemies in NIANIA. A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games
this week, it seems that BOSS RAT posted a challenge against the more highly
recognized STAUBACH. The results, you ask? Well, the firebrand BOSS RAT bested
STAUBACH. Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel. I can not but mention
with disdain the name of WINDSONG who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a
full 13 points below in the rankings. I thought WINDSONG showed great skill and
promise when she overcame ESMITH. 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! I must report the passing of ICA BRIGHTLITE,
veteran of many duels. 19-18-1 final record Hers was not illustrious--but death
plays no favorites. Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the miserable with
fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in NIANIA. Nice atmosphere you have here! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of
a far off city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember - the pen is
mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
