                                      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 JORMP JUMPER, who flew up 17 points in the rankings after mashing 
BARRUK like a melon.  Keep your eye on this beast.  Our battling duelmaster PETER 
NETLEY has managed to hold the title, fending off KUNG-FU MASTER's none too subtle 
advances.  Better luck next time, NIANIA.  Advice to bashers--never force anything, 
just get a bigger halberd!   
     But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!  
Here's a song for you:  Who's afraid of the big, bad  DELINQUENTZ?  Big bad 
DELINQUENTZ.  Big bad DELINQUENTZ.  NIANIA's afraid of the big bad DELINQUENTZ.  Tra 
la la la la!  Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch YELLOWSTONE YOGIS' act in the 
arena.  Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from DELINQUENTZ.   
     Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day 
drinking to their memory.  Better tanked than dead!  Remember:  alliances are great, 
but try and take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens.   
     Well, there's the manager of the NIANIA giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that 
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?).  C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some 
tracks.  See ya next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster

Wow, TWO true warriors (or next best equivalent) out there on the sands with us and
the standbys today!  Still only five fights, of course.  And, of course, with two of
us fighting managed gladiators and three against standbys, we went two-thre.  Guess
which fights we won?  Still, could've been worse. -- Peter Netley, duelmaster by
default

looking forward to it and that we will see you there!
