                                      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.  Coming up with 
a solid 1-0-0 outing, TEMERE has advanced 3 places in the rankings.  Advancing in the 
rankings was TALES FROM THE CRIP who went from last turn's 3-2-0, to this week's 
record of 7-3-2.  Hey everybody, watch out for TC RIPPER, who flew up 16 points in 
the rankings after mashing OLTIMAL THE LAME like a melon.  Keep your eye on this 
beast.  And falling like a basher in the top ten was SCORPIO, who dropped 9 points 
after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with HONDA HUNTS MOOSE.  Our battling 
duelmaster BOSS WALKING BY has managed to hold the title, fending off BARRELHOUSE 
CHUCK's none too subtle advances.  Better luck next time, TOURNAMENT BLUES 65.  Can 
you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff?   
     Here is other news that is of note.  Here's a song for you:  Who's afraid of the 
big, bad TOURNAMENT BLUES 65?  Big bad TOURNAMENT BLUES 65.  Big bad TOURNAMENT BLUES 
65.  DAL SHANG's afraid of the big bad TOURNAMENT BLUES 65.  Tra la la la la!  Okay, 
so I may not be funny, but catch TALES FROM THE CRIP's act in the arena.  Those 
acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from TOURNAMENT BLUES 65.  And who is this 
ULTRANEGATOR you ask, with 24 points and a 5-5-0 record.  Ooh, the tales I could 
tell!  Getting lots of flowers from sympathetic fans was MIDNIGHT MUFFIN, who was 
successfully challenged by WINE JONES who had a mere 24 points more than MIDNIGHT 
MUFFIN.  Well WINE JONES, just can't get an easy fight anymore can you?  You thought 
challenging down 24 points to MIDNIGHT MUFFIN would be fun.  Right?  Wrong!   
     Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the 
most interesting, though!  Remember:  alliances are great, but try and take your ally 
in the arena with you and see what happens.   
     Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in DAL SHANG have no 
sense of humor.  Or maybe that they were senseless.  C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some 
tracks.  And remember, you can pick your friends and you can pick your--(loud boos), 
oh, you've heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster
