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 4-1-1 outing, THE ALLIANCE has advanced 5 places in the rankings. Well
here's a duelmaster that doesn't sit back and say 'Challenge me'! NARDOLE made a
challenge against UNCHAINABLE this week. Well, everybody's pal NARDOLE moved his
record to 19-13-1 by defeating UNCHAINABLE in the Duelmaster's Title Bout and gaining
9 recognition points. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps
T.P.s at bay.
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
Here's a song for you: Who's afraid of the big, bad THE OOZE ZONE? Big bad THE
OOZE ZONE. Big bad THE OOZE ZONE. SUNSET's afraid of the big bad THE OOZE ZONE.
Tra la la la la! Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch BEN'S BAZAAR's act in the
arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from THE OOZE ZONE. And who
is this UNCHAINABLE you ask, with 104 points and a 25-25-0 record. Ooh, the tales I
could tell! In a touching display by a 'touched' warrior, BLAK BOX went after DARK
WISHES, who was higher by 21 points. Well, when the dust settled, BLAK BOX subdued
DARK WISHES. LASZLO of THE WHOVIANS had better have a good reason for challenging
down 11 points in a challenge which it lost. I thought LASZLO showed great skill and
promise when it was overcame by FLYING DUTCHMAN. All right, so I slept through it!
Big deal!
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! CRETURE defied all odds and slew
SHEWISH GIANT in the Dark Arena. The only ones displeased were the buzzards, as
SHEWISH GIANT's meat is notoriously tough. Well, the arena is no place for slow
learners (and hopefully T.P.s) and OGRYN demonstrated that very violently on DAVROS'
body. 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 SUNSET have no
sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. Well, there goes another Spy
Report. Good luck in next week's fights. Hasta la bye-bye. (Loud choruses of 'Beat
it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Debby T -- Why would I want you to write about a fight I lost? Those aren't really
the ones I'm keen to advertise. -- Moon Splicer, who has had fights he wouldn't mind
seeing in the spy report.
Sunset -- Well, dang. My last fight here and somehow, I don't manage to get a column
in on time. And trust me, I had a brilliant one planned! For now, I am off to join
the other fantastic bashers from the Tribe's past: Sasquatch, Bul Goblinhewer,
Donegal, Halbarad and Grudge Hammer. Unlike those others, I may even get a chance to
continue my career and carry the Sunset torch forward. Fare thee well Sunset! -- Lord
Protector Duskborne Beast
Whovians -- 1-1 on your challenges. So it goes. I suspect there will be more coming.
-- The Tribe
Welcome to Comfort Food, a new team running a full team. Hopefully that indicates a
team that will be sticking around. Three in the night fights? High standards or
fishing while timing? Time will tell. We shall just sit back and snack a bit while
we wait and see.
