                                      SPY REPORT

     Thankyouthankyou.  It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in DAL 
SHANG.  Hope you enjoy the show.  Oh, who am I kidding?  I already got paid!  It was 
a tough week for KILLER TUNES, to drop 6 places in the rankings.  Coming up with a 
solid 1-0-0 outing, SHADOW LIONS has advanced 4 places in the rankings.  Hey 
everybody, watch out for BIG MOOSE WALKER, who flew up 13 points in the rankings 
after mashing WINTER SOLSTICE like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  Ya know, 
some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.  FLOYD JONES was subdued by ROACH 
and drops 7 points.  GNIGHT WHVEN got through to the Duelmaster this turn.  No doubt 
he was more than anxious to kick HARRUMPH's tail out of the throne!  It's a proud day 
for the SHADOW LIONS stable, as their warrior, GNIGHT WHVEN, ascended the 
Duelmaster's throne.  An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps 
T.P.s at bay.   
     But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!  
Did you hear that KILLER TUNES was most avoided team this week?  Well, knowing the 
personal hygiene of KILLER TUNES' warriors, I'm not surprised!  And you guys like to 
boo me?  Well, unsling your rasberries, cause INTRUDERS beats feet every time KILLER 
TUNES smiles at them.  Try farming, eh?  Well just about everybody wants a piece of 
E. HEMINGWAY, who was this week's most challenged warrior.  GHRAAZZT of SANGUINE 
SAINTS had better have a good reason for challenging down 14 points in a challenge 
which it won.  I thought GHRAAZZT showed great skill and promise when it defeated BIG 
WHEELER.  All right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     Death is kind of like a new puppy:  he's always around wanting to play.  (Ha 
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?).  Here's some advice:  warriors with little 
wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.   
     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.  Hasta la bye-bye.  (Loud choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The 
Unknown Spymaster
