                                      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!.  Say good-bye to DEVIL ADVOCATES, as they are 
pushed from the coveted top team spot by the BLACK MOON RISING stable.  A stormcloud 
is brewing over the JAMAICAN SUPERHEROES guildhouse.  Rumor says any more weeks like 
this ones 0-0-0 may send the team to the Dark Arena.  Coming up with a solid 3-1-0 
outing, GEMSTONE BEASTS has advanced 3 places in the rankings.  DEATH BY DESIGN is no 
joke as it posted a 3-0-0 week advancing from 7th place to 6th place.  Hey everybody, 
watch out for CALAMITY, who flew up 17 points in the rankings after mashing AMBITIOUS 
GUARD like a melon.  Keep your eye on this gal.  And falling like a basher in the top 
ten was S. MOE DIUS, who dropped 10 points after a disappointing (to say the least) 
bout with NIJA.  Well, everybody's pal PICKLE PIE moved his record to 23-16-0 by 
defeating DEE YEVELWON in the Duelmaster's Title Bout and gaining 10 recognition 
points.  Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff?   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the ARVAT arena.  And hey, 
kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid GEMSTONE BEASTS, please raise you hand.  Wow.  
Does ARVAT really have that many liars?  For those of you who like math, try this 
one:  GEMSTONE BEASTS + Weapons That go Boom = SECRET SQUIRRELS + Avoid City.  Well 
dang howdy, but if challenges were votes, RUMORS OF WAR would be president.  Although 
it may be a contest he doesn't want to win.  In a mismatch, our friend E.O.D. of 
SECRET SQUIRRELS got heroic notions and challenged RUMORS OF WAR.  What did it get 
him?  A 13-7-1 record, that's what.  To the crowd's chants of 'Bo-zo bo-zo bo-zo', 
RUMORS OF WAR was taken out by the lower-ranked E.O.D..  (Maybe it's time to think 
Dark Arena?).   
     Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day 
drinking to their memory.  Better tanked than dead!  Remember:  alliances are great, 
but try and take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens.   
     Well, there's the manager of the ARVAT giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that 
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?).  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
