We now have a new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on. GONE COUNTRY now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep it. A stormcloud is brewing over the WINDS OF WAR guildhouse. Rumor says any more weeks like this ones 0-3-0 may send the team to the Dark Arena. Hey everybody, watch out for ALAN JACKSON, who flew up 23 points in the rankings after mashing NATALIE like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. NATALIE was beat by ALAN JACKSON and drops 20 points. Unlike most arenas, BIG BLUE MARBLE managed to get his challenge off against the 21-36-0 WASHINGTON VERN. Going for the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was THE MIDDLE WAY 4's WASHINGTON VERN, who was turned away from the Duelmastership by BIG BLUE MARBLE. 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 LYRATILAN arena. Did you hear that NEON GRATITUDE was most avoided team this week? Well, knowing the personal hygiene of NEON GRATITUDE's warriors, I'm not surprised! And you guys like to boo me? Well, unsling your rasberries, cause WINDS OF WAR beats feet every time NEON GRATITUDE smiles at them. Try farming, eh? And who is this WASHINGTON VERN you ask, with 100 points and a 21-37-0 record. Ooh, the tales I could tell! Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). Ask not the elves for counsel, for they will say both yes and no. Silly buggers, eh? Well, there's the manager of the LYRATILAN giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that 'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). Well, there goes another Spy Report. Good luck in next week's fights. Hasta la bye-bye.
