SPY REPORT It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last week's fights. For every winner there is a loser. Speaking of losers, lets take a look at BLOOD OF THE SPIDER, who went down to 3rd from 9th. Life is tough. Coming up with a solid 4-1-0 outing, HOMICIDAL MANIACS has advanced 3 places in the rankings. Hey everybody, watch out for BABYFACE, who flew up 26 points in the rankings after mashing CHYNA like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. CHYNA was subdued by BABYFACE and drops 20 points. Well, if ya don't shows up at the laundromat, ya can'ts wash yer clothes. CIARAN did not fight this week so his title was forfeit. In front of all the crowds, BABYFACE took the Duelmaster's crown for his own. I give the bum two weeks. Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd! Here is other news that is of note. And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid HOMICIDAL MANIACS, please raise you hand. Wow. Does MORDANT really have that many liars? And you guys like to boo me? Well, unsling your rasberries, cause MANNEQUIN'S BEST beats feet every time HOMICIDAL MANIACS smiles at them. Try farming, eh? Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the most interesting, though! Big deal, so NEVERMORE got mashed in the Dark Arena. With his face he was more at home with the trolls than with us. (Waka waka). Congrats to LUCRECE for revenging the death of hers teammate (but more importantly, feeding PAPER WASP a bit of dirt). Remember: alliances are great, but try and take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens. Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in MORDANT have no sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.

You could be a little less stingy with the skills in return, I should think! -- Faceless Wisper -- Didn't have the strength to use that weapon well? I doubt you would agree, neh? Just stay away from me when you get more skilled, you were just too fast for having only 3 fights' experience. -- Bomanz Grammaw -- Madam, I assure you that I'm not so young anymore. And as for my hands, well, hazards of being an archeologist of magical artifacts I suppose. I'll try to be more careful in the future, now quit trying to hit me with that...whatever it was! -- Bomanz Nevermore -- You were inhuman! It says so right here, and then you were cruel, and then you tried to bury me in the sand, and I have to tell you, this has been one of those days that your mother warned you against, or if she didn't, well, too bad, because mine warned ME. It's enough to make me wonder if I've got a career error here. -- Babyface Khazid'hea -- DRAT! OUCH! I guess it's a good thing there are no sweords on the weapons list, or you might have been even WORSE, and you were BAD ENOUGH as it was! I don't even want to THINK about what your arrival has done to the property values in this neighborhood. It's just going to the dogs, totally to the dogs. Although dogs might be better, really. But at least it's not DUCKS. -- Man Next Door Faceless -- So let me guess: somebody ripped yours off, and that gave you a grudge against all gladiators, however undeserved it might be to take it out on ME. Humphf. -- Lucrece Vortex -- You're making me dizzy, boy. Don't do that. -- Grammaw Paper Wasp -- I'll get you for this. Hayden was MINE to kill. -- Lady Protector Sandy Oh, he's probably not really dead. These super-whosit guys are addicted to dramatic returns from the grave. -- Ed. Darkfist -- If you and your warriors are going to talk, it will be a boon for this arena. With the departure of TigToad, I feared it was going to be a case the Homicidal Maniacs talking to each other and not much else. -- Nick, Homicidal Maniacs 30 April 2003 All -- Remember to put your arena number on your strategy sheets. Strategies turned in without an arena number run the risk of missing the turn. -- NAIEI LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS NEVERMORE was butchered by ARENAMASTER KAKAR in a 1 minute Dark Arena fight. CHYNA lost to BABYFACE in a exciting 1 minute expert's Title battle. KOGITSUNE MARU was narrowly defeated by MAN NEXT DOOR in a 3 minute master's duel. KHAZID'HEA savagely defeated DENNIS in a crowd pleasing 1 minute bloody match. DIESEL lost to JENNIFER in a 3 minute master's fight. GRAMMAW was overpowered by VORTEX in a 1 minute mismatched brawl. PAPER WASP was overpowered by LUCRECE in a 2 minute uneven melee. NEFARIOUS lost to ROMPADI in a action packed 1 minute duel. HAYDAN defeated GRALL THE DESERTER in a 2 minute beginner's duel.
