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 DARQUE FORCES, as they are
pushed from the coveted top team spot by the OTIS LIKES LUNGERS stable. A stormcloud
is brewing over the AVID FANS 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,
UNIQUIE ONE has advanced 6 places in the rankings. It looks like the guys(?) at OF
WOLF & GIANT had a good week as they went 5-0-2 to put them in 4th place. I guess
steroids help! Hey everybody, watch out for PROFOUND, who flew up 15 points in the
rankings after mashing MALDRIM like a melon. Keep your eye on this beast. And
falling like a basher in the top ten was ME EITHER, who dropped 9 points after a
disappointing (to say the least) bout with BULLS. It's a proud day for the GOING
BERSERK stable, as their warrior, ONTOR, ascended the Duelmaster's throne. An apple
a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay.
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the STORMCROWE arena. Did
you hear that DARQUE FORCES was most avoided team this week? Well, knowing the
personal hygiene of DARQUE FORCES' warriors, I'm not surprised! Okay, so I may not
be funny, but catch DEAD SILENCE's act in the arena. Those acrobats seem to be
fairly deft at running from DARQUE FORCES. Well just about everybody wants a piece
of DINAH MITE, who was this week's most challenged warrior. In a mismatch, our
friend HORRACH of DEAD SILENCE got heroic notions and challenged PRIMAL CUT. What
did it get him? A 9-10-0 record, that's what. To the crowd's chants of 'Bo-zo bo-zo
bo-zo', PRIMAL CUT was taken out by the lower-ranked HORRACH. (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! TENDERLOIN says to his dog--'Who
should I fight this week?'. Dog says 'STONE GOLEM'. So the guy dies. Moral? Put
lying dogs to sleep. Here's some advice: warriors with little wit and will may
encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in STORMCROWE 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
