                                      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.  RISE OF CHAOS now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep 
it.  Coming up with a solid 3-2-0 outing, SENTINELS has advanced 3 places in the 
rankings.  It looks like the guys(?) at RISE OF CHAOS had a good week as they went 
4-1-1 to put them in 1st place.  I guess steroids help!  Hey everybody, watch out for 
KOOLAID, who flew up 19 points in the rankings after mashing CLEAVING SONG like a 
melon.  Keep your eye on this beast.  And falling like a basher in the top ten was 
NOVA, who dropped 9 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with 
SCALPITERAI.  What does the Duelmaster and Piltdown Man have in common?  They are 
both the most challenged apes in human history!  Heyheyhey!  Drawing on all of its 
experience as a 13-5-0 warrior, SHAN SUNGUARD went for the Duelmastership against 
BLITZ BISCUIT this week.  In front of all the crowds, SHAN SUNGUARD took the 
Duelmaster's crown for its own.  I give the bum two weeks.  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 BONSUR arena.  And hey, 
kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid ODD SQUAD, please raise you hand.  Wow.  Does 
BONSUR really have that many liars?  And you guys like to boo me?  Well, unsling your 
rasberries, cause SENTINELS beats feet every time ODD SQUAD smiles at them.  Try 
farming, eh?   
     Death is kind of like a new puppy:  he's always around wanting to play.  (Ha 
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?).  Big deal, so SHINE got mashed in the Dark 
Arena.  With his face he was more at home with the trolls than with us. (Waka waka).  
This week 14-17-1 MIGHTY NED was sent to the Dark Arena.  I know a lot of fighters 
with similar records who might take notice of this.  We might as well mark the 
passing of CLEAVING SONG, who was relatively new to the arena at 2-1-0.  Probably 
killed before hers first shave.  Knowing when to use the right tactics at the proper 
time is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.   
     Well, there's the manager of the BONSUR giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that 
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?).  C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some 
tracks.  See ya next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster
