SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report. Sit
back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis. We now have a
new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on. NEON TREES now holds the crown and
they are betting they can keep it. A stormcloud is brewing over the MIDDLE WAY 15
guildhouse. Rumor says any more weeks like this ones 0-2-0 may send the team to the
Dark Arena. Advancing in the rankings was NEON TREES who went from last turn's
64-68-4, to this week's record of 67-69-4. Call it luck at the right time or bribes
in the right hands, but the new team INSECTS scored a 4-0-0 record this week. Hey
everybody, watch out for ALLIGATOR CHAR, who flew up 29 points in the rankings after
mashing MANTRID like a melon. Keep your eye on this beast. Ya know, some days it
doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. THE ENEMY WITHIN was subdued by ZEEK and drops
17 points. Well, everybody's pal BOLD BLIGHT moved his record to 8-2-0 by defeating
THE TIME PROPHET in the Duelmaster's Title Bout and gaining 10 recognition points. 4
out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at that
location.
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the SOLVEN arena. Here's a
song for you: Who's afraid of the big, bad NEON TREES? Big bad NEON TREES. Big bad
NEON TREES. SOLVEN's afraid of the big bad NEON TREES. Tra la la la la! For those
of you who like math, try this one: NEON TREES + Weapons That go Boom = RED SECTOR A
+ Avoid City. Well just about everybody wants a piece of BOOGEYMAN, who was this
week's most challenged warrior. KID GLOVES of RED SECTOR A had better have a good
reason for challenging down 14 points in a challenge which he lost. I thought KID
GLOVES showed great skill and promise when he was subdued by BOOGEYMAN. All right,
so I slept through it! Big deal!
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! Proving again that SOLVEN is not rated G, ALLIGATOR CHAR
of the 249 BOURBON ST slew the warrior MANTRID in a rather bloody bout. Let's look
for a bloodfeud. Yes, and another 'Belly up' warrior silhouette goes on top of the
249 BOURBON ST guildhouse this week, as ALLIGATOR CHAR dispatched MANTRID. Good
going! Here's some advice: warriors with little wit and will may encounter problems
on the trail to the Isle.
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian,
but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. Hasta la bye-bye. (Loud
choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown Spymaster
