                                      SPY REPORT

     So why do I have this bag over my head?  Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and 
I'm going to give you a spy report!.  Say good-bye to USELESS TOOLS, as they are 
pushed from the coveted top team spot by the MASS EFFECT stable.  Hey everybody, 
watch out for TRADER JOE, who flew up 17 points in the rankings after mashing LAKE 
PATROL like a melon.  Keep your eye on this beast.  Ya know, some days it doesn't pay 
to walk out on the sands.  AMERICAN HIGHWAY lost to MAXENTENIUS and drops 13 points.  
Well, if ya don't shows up at the laundromat, ya can'ts wash yer clothes.  NERF GUN 
did not fight this week so its title was forfeit.  It's a proud day for the TRADERS 
OF TROCAR stable, as their warrior, KANJI SAI, ascended the Duelmaster's throne.  Can 
you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff?   
     Here is other news that is of note.  And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't 
avoid USELESS TOOLS, please raise you hand.  Wow.  Does TROCAR really have that many 
liars?  For those of you who like math, try this one:  USELESS TOOLS + Weapons That 
go Boom = WHITE SLAYERS + Avoid City.  And who is this MORDIN SOLUS you ask, with 44 
points and a 7-6-1 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?).  Remember:  alliances are great, but try and 
take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens.   
     Well, there's the manager of the TROCAR 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.  See ya next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown 
Spymaster
