                                      SPY REPORT

     It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report.  Sit 
back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis.  We now have a 
new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on.  BASH BROS COUNTRY now holds the 
crown and they are betting they can keep it.  Coming up with a solid 3-2-1 outing, 
WHEREWOLVES has advanced 3 places in the rankings.  Hey everybody, watch out for 
LAME, who flew up 17 points in the rankings after mashing BRINE SUSPECT like a melon. 
Keep your eye on this guy.  And falling like a basher in the top ten was BRINE 
SUSPECT, who dropped 10 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with 
LAME.  Try as hard as the SKIBIDI RIZZLERS stable might, they were unable to find 
their warrior (and ex-Duelmaster) BABY BIGGER BACK before this week's fights.  It's a 
proud day for the BASH BROS COUNTRY stable, as their warrior, PICKUP TRUCK, ascended 
the Duelmaster's throne.  Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this 
stuff?   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the NOBLISH ISLAND arena.  
Did you hear that BASH BROS COUNTRY was most avoided team this week?  Well, knowing 
the personal hygiene of BASH BROS COUNTRY's warriors, I'm not surprised!  And you 
guys like to boo me?  Well, unsling your rasberries, cause BEWARE beats feet every 
time BASH BROS COUNTRY smiles at them.  Try farming, eh?  Well just about everybody 
wants a piece of RAPLH, who was this week's most challenged warrior.  BULLY of BEWARE 
had better have a good reason for challenging down 10 points in a challenge which he 
won.  I thought BULLY showed great skill and promise when he bested RAPLH.  All 
right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day 
drinking to their memory.  Better tanked than dead!  Ask not the elves for counsel, 
for they will say both yes and no.  Silly buggers, eh?   
     I think I had better cut this one short.  It's been nice chatting to those of 
you whom I have not offended yet.  Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian, 
but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.  Hasta la bye-bye.  (Loud 
choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown Spymaster
