                                      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!.  Hey everybody, watch out for SEDAN OF BAN, who 
flew up 14 points in the rankings after mashing TEH HADDOCK like a melon.  Keep your 
eye on this guy.  And falling like a basher in the top ten was LUCY, who dropped 12 
points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with VENOMOUS CONCUBINE.  Going 
for the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was HOMUNCULUS' CORTICAL 
GIANT, who was turned away from the Duelmastership by DEPP.  Can you believe they are 
paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff?   
     Here is other news that is of note.  And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't 
avoid THE RUNAROUND, please raise you hand.  Wow.  Does NIANIA really have that many 
liars?  Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch MENTOR DEMENTOR's act in the arena.  
Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from THE RUNAROUND.  Well dang 
howdy, but if challenges were votes, GENERAL PATTERN would be president.  Although it 
may be a contest he doesn't want to win.  Can any one out there say 'weasel'?  Oh 
well, just saying HEAD CHEESE will do.  He challenged 19 points down to trash GENERAL 
PATTERN.  Definition of petty:  HEAD CHEESE subdued GENERAL PATTERN, a mismatch of 19 
points.   
     Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the 
most interesting, though!  This week 13-8-2 HARDY BART was sent to the Dark Arena.  I 
know a lot of fighters with similar records who might take notice of this.  There's 
got to be more reason for the sending of HARDY BART to the Dark Arena than his record 
(13-8-2).  Anybody got any ideas THE RUNAROUND?  Here's some advice:  warriors with 
little wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.   
     I think I had better cut this one short.  It's been nice chatting to those of 
you whom I have not offended yet.  C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some tracks.  Its been 
fun, and I'm sure you enjoyed it (boos).  Now that I've got you worked up for Snide 
Clemens, I'll be leaving-- The Unknown Spymaster

We get ONE standby, and other people get THREE?  Not that a lot of other people are
hanging around here.  I figure it's the post-tourney slump.  Two-three.  Tedious, but
at least our standby was roundly and even gruesomely defeated.  That counts for
something when you're counting grains of sand. -- THE Haddock

Dexter -- That's just BAD of you.  So clumsy with your weapon, and STILL you won?

                   SEAM (DM 20) REOPENS AS A NEW NO-TOURNEY ARENA!

Seam (DM 20) will be re-opening soon as a no-tourney DM arena!  If you enjoy arena 
play without tournament interference, this arena is for you!  Only rookie teams may 
enter this arena, and all managers must sign the "no-tourney" pledge.  Turn 0 is due 
on May 4 (overviews only) and Turn 1 is due on May 18.  

To avoid confusion, all old inactive teams which were in Seam have travelled to 
Mazgourrah (DM 77). 

Seam is the newest arena to join the no-tourney group of arenas and will process on 
opposite weeks with Shadowspire (DM 81), the original no-tourney arena.  Other no-
tourney arenas include Telorinthe (DM 83), a slow arena, and Storm Rock (DM 107), for 
ADM warriors.  

Join in the fun!  Send in your new rollup along with the pledge soon so you can get in 
on the ground floor of this new arena!
