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 3-2-0 outing, PET SHOP FLOYD has advanced 3 places in the rankings. Hey
everybody, watch out for ANGUS FLOYD, who flew up 18 points in the rankings after
mashing RORONOA ZORO like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it
doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. BOTSONO was defeated by MAINE COON and drops
12 points. In front of all the crowds, PRAYING MANTIS took the Duelmaster's crown
for hers own. I give the bum two weeks. Advice to bashers--never force anything,
just get a bigger halberd!
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the ZUKAL arena. Did you
hear that ARENA FELINES was most avoided team this week? Well, knowing the personal
hygiene of ARENA FELINES' warriors, I'm not surprised! For those of you who like
math, try this one: ARENA FELINES + Weapons That go Boom = RAVENCLAW + Avoid City.
Well just about everybody wants a piece of PRAYING MANTIS, who was this week's most
challenged warrior. Challenging down 16 points was WITTY. Pretty soon he'll be
using two shields and selling 'T.P.: The only way to clean up' pins. I just want to
congratulate BAD CAT on beating WITTY. He overcame his superior-ranked opponent and
gained 13 points. Congrats!
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Knowing when to use the right
tactics at the proper time is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in ZUKAL 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. 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
