                                      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!.  It was a tough week for MANNEQUIN'S BEST, to 
drop 4 places in the rankings.  Coming up with a solid 3-2-0 outing, DEATH'S DOOR has 
advanced 4 places in the rankings.  Hey everybody, watch out for CABDRIVER FEET, who 
flew up 25 points in the rankings after mashing LION DUNG like a melon.  Keep your 
eye on this beast.  Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.  LION 
DUNG was bested by CABDRIVER FEET and drops 21 points.  Try as hard as the STEEL 
LEGION stable might, they were unable to find their warrior (and ex-Duelmaster) 
COBALT before this week's fights.  It's a proud day for the SEA DOGS stable, as their 
warrior, HORTATOR, ascended the Duelmaster's throne.  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 SWEORDMASTERS, please raise you hand.  Wow.  Does MORDANT really have that many 
liars?  And you guys like to boo me?  Well, unsling your rasberries, cause ENTERPRISE 
beats feet every time SWEORDMASTERS smiles at them.  Try farming, eh?  And who is 
this ZIMA you ask, with 100 points and a 21-14-0 record.  Ooh, the tales I could 
tell!  In a mismatch, our friend TYPHOID MARY of DEATH'S DOOR got heroic notions and 
challenged HORTATOR.  What did it get her?  A 11-13-0 record, that's what.  This week 
TYPHOID MARY 11-13-0 fought HORTATOR 19-11-2 and in losing gained 4 points.  I know 
several gladiators who could go for a few fights like that.  MAKESHIFT ANCHOR of SEA 
DOGS had better have a good reason for challenging down 10 points in a challenge 
which he won.  I thought MAKESHIFT ANCHOR showed great skill and promise when he 
defeated SWEET STUFF.  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!  There's got to be more reason 
for the sending of VODKA to the Dark Arena than its record (3-1-0).  Anybody got any 
ideas BOOZE?  Knowing when to use the right tactics at the proper time is a very 
important step on the road to Duelmaster.   
     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.  See ya 
next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster
