                                      SPY REPORT

    Beware, readers, because there may be tournament spoilers later in this report!  
If you don't want them, stop reading now.
    AHA!  Something fun to report!  Two down challenges were made this turn! LEMON 
BARRIO challenged down a class and 18 points.  LEMON knew what he was up to and 
devastated CAPTAIN HOOK.  Meanwhile, JUST DESSERTS received a down challenge as well.  
MASCOT went down 10 points, trying to get an easy win from an 0-1 warrior, but failing 
miserably, as CHOP-ALOT CHIP vanquished the MASCOT. Seems like JUST DESSERTS is taking 
up the down challenge mantle!
    Also in my highlights is when a warrior is slain on the sands!  This time it was a 
lonely SPARROW, who was just feeding on the sands when SAVAGE savagely slaughtered the 
SPARROW.  Probably did BIRDS a favor.  6-14 records might be good for sparrows, but 
not for arena gladiators.
    Meanwhile, our favorite (or perhaps most unfavorite) LASAGNA is now immortal!  DA 
ZAGAGNA got to that 50 arena fights mark and is heading for immortality.  How did it 
happen?  After four straight fights, making the STICKY SEAT stickier, ZAGAGNA was 
matched up with SOL DAEMON.  And it doesn't seem to matter what kind of SOL it 
faces...  LASAGNA is victorious again.  We should see someone new on top and I 
strongly suspect the backlog of warriors needing political points is about to explode 
in a fury of graduations in the coming days!
    In tournament news, CAPTAIN MARVEL won the basher stylemaster in the dead 
champions class, but with only a 6-3 record, MARVEL will stay dead.  However, the 
highlight for our fine arena had to be THE GRINCH getting a Rookies TV. It's going to 
be a very bad christmas when THE GRINCH starts fighting this holiday season!  The 
lowlight was MATAR getting killed when it was 3-0, also in rookies.  The last warrior 
I saw in the newsletter (and it is entirely possible I missed others) was SOL INVICTUS 
in dead initiates.  Unfortunately, this warrior was listed as eliminated in round 10.  
Sad day for the dead warriors trying to get back!
    Slashers are the most popular style (really?!?).  10 slashers fought.  I can only 
hope they learn enough attack and have enough physicals such that when they arrive in 
the Total Parry ridden top ranks, they'll be able to take them down... WHAMMO & THUDDA 
4U led the way in avoiding JUST DESSERTS.  DA ZAGAGNA was reported as having received 
the most challenges, but somehow got a random matchup?  I have never completely 
trusted the data that I get regarding challenges, but there were at least two 
challenges given to DA ZAGAGNA.
    In team news, each of FOOTBALL DELIGHT, JUST DESSERTS, and THE OTHER ONES went 4-
1.  Each of them also won a single arena award.  But I have to give the nod for the 
best performance to THE OTHER ONES, whose award was the team on the move award!

Hey, Bodacious Belinda! My old, old pal Smithy tells me you really are flat chested, 
drive an old heap, dumped the West Coast, and have/had a little house full of rug-
rats. I'm prayin' for ya Lassie! -- Coach (Football Delight)
P.S. Beer beats Dessert any day. Right, Chop-Alot Chip? (But, of course, beer is not 
quite so noble.) -- Coach

Gotta love it! La Guillotine is sending his Krill oldies into the Chimlevtal chopping 
block? Shades of the French Revolution! One who wonders......................
But, a salute to Compota, the famous Piker from Chim! He did LG and
the Chim proud!

It's nice to be home...though another "meh" 2-3 for me. Those tourney entrants are 
really tough! -- Buff Cream Puffed and still swolen

Da Zaganaganaga -- I will be your huckleberry -- Abba Z.

Captain Hook -- If my challenge goes through, you can thank your smelly friend Snafu. 
What a scumbag. -- Lemon Barrio
