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. Hey everybody,
watch out for THE LIZARD KING, who flew up 19 points in the rankings after mashing
PERSISTENT BEGGAR like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it
doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. STARVING FACE was beat by GRAPE APE and drops
10 points. Our battling duelmaster GNU I KNEW has managed to hold the title, fending
off CHAKTIRI's none too subtle advances. Better luck next time, HAMOI TONG. Can you
believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff?
Here is other news that is of note. Did you hear that THE GOLDEN FISH was most
avoided team this week? Well, knowing the personal hygiene of THE GOLDEN FISH's
warriors, I'm not surprised! Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch HAMOI TONG's act
in the arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from THE GOLDEN FISH.
Well just about everybody wants a piece of GNU RECRUIT, who was this week's most
challenged warrior.
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Knowing when to use the right
tactics at the proper time is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.
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. See ya next time I'm on this
circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Gnu I Knew -- Well, this matchup didn't quite go like the last one we had. And you
get the duelmaster's title out of it! Argh! Next time we fight I'll be in a
loincloth with the fastest weapon I can find and as much coffee or tea that I can
ingest before the fight! -- Tasaio
Robot Chicken -- I guess I have to hit you to win. This one was a good measuring
stick for me. If I can learn a little more, we'll try this again in the future! --
Ghuda IV's father
Rattler -- Golems. Usually I fight golems with a weapon, but I wanted to see what a
big shield could do. Hmm, well, I wouldn't say it blocked anything. If I'm just
going to get hit even with a shield I'm not sure I get the point of a shield. It
kind of worked, but I think next time I'll bring my Maul to the party! -- Papewaio
Brandon Heath -- Thanks for all the learns! Three or more fights like that and I may
start to amount to a skilled fighter! -- Jiro
Insurance Salesman -- No! I do not want a policy! (unless your term life policies
are cheap, for some reason gladiators don't seem to get good rates) Take that you
poor excuse for a warrior! -- Chaktiri
Chaktiri and Froot E. Bowl -- You may, quite properly, condole team Runaround on the
death of the Tooth Pick, but *I* thank you totally. -- Ghost of Uethinria
Gnu Recruit -- That was... refreshing. Not to mention the pleasure of defeating a
female golem. One of those inflatable doll types? At least, when I pricked you,
there was a whistle and a weird smell and you deflated fast. -- Kinthira
The Userous Merchant unnerved me, okay? He started talking about making lizard-skin
boots, and I began to almost imagine myself as a lizard, and I AM NOT A LIZARD. I'm
a guy with a lizard name. Cheese louise! That's really scary when it happens. I've
heard of colleagues and teammates who have had VERY STRANGE EXPERIENCES when their
arena names tried to take 'em over. -- Red Lizard the Human Gladiator
Grape Ape -- I fear you may be suffering the same thing that afflicted Red Lizard,
the encroachment of characteristics more appropriate to your name than your nature.
I suspected it when you "ooked" and scratched your ribs with one foot, but when you
tried to climb the arenamaster like a tree... well, it wasn't funny. I think you've
got a problem. -- Kestraline
Gnuton -- For some reason, you fell on me like a basket of apples. I'm not getting
that. -- Korbrizt Horon
Starving Face -- Don't look at me! *I* didn't eat your breakfast. It was probably
Goldilocks, a rude and immoral wench if I ever saw one. SHE goes around eating other
people's food. -- Elinterri
