                                      SPY REPORT

     It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last 
week's fights.  Hey everybody, watch out for OVERREACHING ACAI, who flew up 13 points 
in the rankings after mashing BERNICE like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  And 
falling like a basher in the top ten was LITTLE CAT, who dropped 10 points after a 
disappointing (to say the least) bout with HOLE CARD.  Well, if ya don't shows up at 
the laundromat, ya can'ts wash yer clothes.  SUICIDE KING did not fight this week so 
his title was forfeit.  It's a proud day for the FANDILS stable, as their warrior, 
WFMS, LLC, ascended the Duelmaster's throne.  Can you believe they are paying me 10 
gold to deliver this stuff?   
     But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!  
Did you hear that WILD CARDS was most avoided team this week?  Well, knowing the 
personal hygiene of WILD CARDS' warriors, I'm not surprised!  And you guys like to 
boo me?  Well, unsling your rasberries, cause FANDILS beats feet every time WILD 
CARDS smiles at them.  Try farming, eh?  Well dang howdy, but if challenges were 
votes, CAPTAIN PUPPY would be president.  Although it may be a contest he doesn't 
want to win.   
     Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the 
most interesting, though!  Remember:  alliances are great, but try and take your ally 
in the arena with you and see what happens.   
     I think I had better cut this one short.  It's been nice chatting to those of 
you whom I have not offended yet.  Well, there goes another Spy Report.  Good luck in 
next week's fights.  See ya next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster
