                                      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 GWAR, who flew up 21 points in the rankings after mashing GENERAL 
PATTERN like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  Ya know, some days it doesn't pay 
to walk out on the sands.  GENERAL PATTERN lost to GWAR and drops 8 points.  Going 
for the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was THE RUNAROUND's SEDAN 
OF BAN, who was turned away from the Duelmastership by LUCY.  Advice to 
bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd!   
     Here is other news that is of note.  Did you hear that THE RUNAROUND was most 
avoided team this week?  Well, knowing the personal hygiene of THE RUNAROUND's 
warriors, I'm not surprised!  For those of you who like math, try this one:  THE 
RUNAROUND + Weapons That go Boom = MENTOR DEMENTOR + Avoid City.  Well dang howdy, 
but if challenges were votes, CRYINARA would be president.  Although it may be a 
contest he doesn't want to win.  In a mismatch, our friend IN VINCULIS of DOLI CAPAX 
got heroic notions and challenged CHAZZ.  What did it get him?  A 2-0-1 record, 
that's what.  To the crowd's chants of 'Bo-zo bo-zo bo-zo', CHAZZ was taken out by 
the lower-ranked IN VINCULIS.  (Maybe it's time to think Dark Arena?).   
     Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day 
drinking to their memory.  Better tanked than dead!  CUJO defied all odds and slew 
CLARENCE S. VOLE in the Dark Arena.  The only ones displeased were the buzzards, as 
CLARENCE S. VOLE's meat is notoriously tough.  We might as well mark the passing of 
CHAZZ, who was relatively new to the arena at 6-2-0.  Probably killed before his 
first shave.  On a sad note, CHAZZ found an early retirement at the hands of IN 
VINCULIS this week.  I wonder what MENTOR DEMENTOR will be doing about it?  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 NIANIA have no 
sense of humor.  Or maybe that they were senseless.  C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some 
tracks.  Hasta la bye-bye.  (Loud choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown 
Spymaster
