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!. It was a tough week for DREAMERS, to drop 4
places in the rankings. Coming up with a solid 1-0-0 outing, PURPLE AND GOLD has
advanced 5 places in the rankings. ARENA FELINES is no joke as it posted a 3-0-0
week advancing from 7th place to 3rd place. Hey everybody, watch out for SCANDALF,
who flew up 21 points in the rankings after mashing DOGFACE like a melon. Keep your
eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.
DOGFACE was subdued by SCANDALF and drops 11 points. Our battling duelmaster
VANGUARD has managed to hold the title, fending off ROGUE 7's none too subtle
advances. Better luck next time, HITMEN FOR HIRE. Can you believe they are paying
me 10 gold to deliver this stuff?
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the JHELUM arena. Here's a
song for you: Who's afraid of the big, bad LOTHLORIEN? Big bad LOTHLORIEN. Big bad
LOTHLORIEN. JHELUM's afraid of the big bad LOTHLORIEN. Tra la la la la! For those
of you who like math, try this one: LOTHLORIEN + Weapons That go Boom = THE
SHALLOWSHIP + Avoid City. Well just about everybody wants a piece of SOGNATORE, who
was this week's most challenged warrior. Was it guts or an overtaxed mental capacity
that had DARK CHAMPION challenge up 30 points in the rankings to take on SOGNATORE?
Some advice to DARK CHAMPION. Please don't challenge up 30 points to fight a 19-17-1
fighter like, say SOGNATORE. (Okay, so it may be a little late). In a touching
display by a 'touched' warrior, REVEUR went after VAGABOND, who was higher by 22
points. Well, when the dust settled, REVEUR lost to VAGABOND.
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Well, the dead beast HUSBAND
just took DIFFERENT HATS off its Christmas card list. The poor beast's bloodfeud
just expired with zippo results. Here's some advice: warriors with little wit and
will may encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in JHELUM 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. And
remember, you can pick your friends and you can pick your--(loud boos), oh, you've
heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster

ATTENTION ALL YOU ALLIANCE-TYPE PEOPLE:
For the purposes of tourney newsletter alliance listings (when I am able to do them),
you may only be listed in ONE alliance. In other words, you have to choose! If you
are a part of Englebert's Alliance and Englebert's Alliance is "part" of Ruthrauf's
Alliance, I will list you EITHER as part of Englebert's Alliance OR as part of
Ruthrauf's Alliance, NOT both. The default would be the top-level alliance,
Ruthrauf's, in this example. If you'd rather be listed separately, let me know and I
will do so, but that will be the only listing you get. -- The Saint, keeper of ever-
more-complicated lists
