                                      SPY REPORT

     Thankyouthankyou.  It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in 
BONSUR.  Hope you enjoy the show.  Oh, who am I kidding?  I already got paid!  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.  A stormcloud is brewing over the 
SENTINELS 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 1-0-0 outing, BEACH BABES has 
advanced 6 places in the rankings.  It looks like the guys(?) at RISE OF CHAOS had a 
good week as they went 5-0-0 to put them in 1st place.  I guess steroids help!  Call 
it luck at the right time or bribes in the right hands, but the new team KOSA LEGION 
scored a 2-1-0 record this week.  Hey everybody, watch out for SCALPITERAI, who flew 
up 19 points in the rankings after mashing BLACK HAMMER like a melon.  Keep your eye 
on this guy.  Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.  BLACK 
HAMMER was beat by SCALPITERAI and drops 15 points.  Well here's a duelmaster that 
doesn't sit back and say 'Challenge me'!  CINDER POET made a Dark Arena Challenge 
against BANDIT PRINCE this week.  Well, everybody's pal CINDER POET moved hers record 
to 19-8-1 by defeating BANDIT PRINCE in the Duelmaster's Title Bout and gaining 2 
recognition points.  4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try and 
avoid aiming at that location.   
     But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!  
And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid ODD SQUAD, please raise you hand.  
Wow.  Does BONSUR really have that many liars?  For those of you who like math, try 
this one:  ODD SQUAD + Weapons That go Boom = ESPANA + Avoid City.  And who is this 
DUENDE you ask, with 81 points and a 18-15-0 record.  Ooh, the tales I could tell!  
Challenging down 20 points was DISCO BISCUIT.  Pretty soon he'll be using two shields 
and selling 'T.P.:  The only way to clean up' pins.  Definition of petty:  DISCO 
BISCUIT overcame NICOLE, a mismatch of 20 points.   
     Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day 
drinking to their memory.  Better tanked than dead!  CINDER POET defied all odds and 
slew BANDIT PRINCE in the Dark Arena.  The only ones displeased were the buzzards, as 
BANDIT PRINCE's meat is notoriously tough.  In the 'Oops, What Have I Done?' 
category, LUKE was mashed by DUENDE, who let LUKE know that killing members of ESPANA 
is a no-no.  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 BONSUR have no 
sense of humor.  Or maybe that they were senseless.  Well, there goes another Spy 
Report.  Good luck in next week's fights.  Its been fun, and I'm sure you enjoyed it 
(boos).  Now that I've got you worked up for Snide Clemens, I'll be leaving-- The 
Unknown Spymaster
