                                      SPY REPORT

     It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last 
week's fights.  Coming up with a solid 2-3-0 outing, SAXON has advanced 3 places in 
the rankings.  Hey everybody, watch out for RED SKIES, who flew up 18 points in the 
rankings after mashing CALL TO ARMS like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  And 
falling like a basher in the top ten was VIRAGO, who dropped 8 points after a 
disappointing (to say the least) bout with BARRICK.  Drawing on all of his experience 
as a 11-2-0 warrior, THE KILLING MOON went for the Duelmastership against BLING! this 
week.  In front of all the crowds, THE KILLING MOON took the Duelmaster's crown for 
his own.  I give the bum two weeks.  Advice to bashers--never force anything, just 
get a bigger halberd!   
     Here is other news that is of note.  And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't 
avoid GENERATION X, please raise you hand.  Wow.  Does CALEAM really have that many 
liars?  Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch ROOFERS' act in the arena.  Those 
acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from GENERATION X.  Well just about 
everybody wants a piece of CLEMENTA, who was this week's most challenged warrior.   
     Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day 
drinking to their memory.  Better tanked than dead!  Congrats to THE WORKING MAN for 
revenging the death of its teammate (but more importantly, feeding JERRY a bit of 
dirt).  Here's some advice:  warriors with little wit and will may encounter problems 
on the trail to the Isle.   
     Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in CALEAM 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.  And 
remember, you can pick your friends and you can pick your--(loud boos), oh, you've 
heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster
