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.
