SPY REPORT
So why do I have this bag over my head? Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and
I'm going to give you a spy report!. We now have a new top team for all of you guys
to dogpile on. OTTO'S MECHANICS now holds the crown and they are betting they can
keep it. DODGE BULLETS is no joke as it posted a 4-1-0 week advancing from 2nd place
to 2nd place. Our battling duelmaster STURDEVANT has managed to hold the title,
fending off M. CHARDINEE's none too subtle advances. Better luck next time, MORYA.
Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd!
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the MORYA arena. Here's a
song for you: Who's afraid of the big, bad YAMA BUSHI? Big bad YAMA BUSHI. Big bad
YAMA BUSHI. MORYA's afraid of the big bad YAMA BUSHI. Tra la la la la! Okay, so I
may not be funny, but catch OTTO'S MECHANICS' act in the arena. Those acrobats seem
to be fairly deft at running from YAMA BUSHI. Well dang howdy, but if challenges
were votes, CRATOS RAMIRO would be president. Although it may be a contest he
doesn't want to win. In a touching display by a 'touched' warrior, MEI BLOSSOM went
after CRATOS RAMIRO, who was higher by 20 points. Well, when the dust settled, MEI
BLOSSOM defeated CRATOS RAMIRO.
Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). Knowing when to use the right tactics at
the proper time is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in MORYA have no
sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. 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
