SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in
KALTOS. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid! Hey
everybody, watch out for SILENT, who flew up 19 points in the rankings after mashing
ABRAHAM LINCOLN like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. And falling like a basher
in the top ten was HOWLER, who dropped 14 points after a disappointing (to say the
least) bout with JAD LADRUE. Well, everybody's pal FREDERICK DOUGLASS moved his
record to 8-2-1 by defeating DERBIE FOYLE in the Duelmaster's Title Bout and gaining
8 recognition points. Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger
halberd!
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the KALTOS arena. Here's a
song for you: Who's afraid of the big, bad MORE NEW TEAMS 2? Big bad MORE NEW
TEAMS 2. Big bad MORE NEW TEAMS 2. KALTOS' afraid of the big bad MORE NEW TEAMS 2.
Tra la la la la! Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch THE TAKEN's act in the
arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from MORE NEW TEAMS 2. Well
just about everybody wants a piece of HOFFA, who was this week's most challenged
warrior. In a mismatch, our friend JOHN TYLER of I'M HISTORY got heroic notions and
challenged SUX0R. What did it get him? A 6-1-0 record, that's what. I heard JOHN
TYLER laughed all the way to the inn as his new point total of 81 was posted in the
arena. I guess beating SUX0R really pays!
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.
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
real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster

Let it be known far and wide, that the Warrior TUM 18-7380, the Champions Runner-Up
for the recent Tournament, is managed by none other than Shocking Toad. I named this
fabulous warrior after my friend and mentor, TUM, a.k.a. Don! Sorry TUM didn't get
me my first TC; however, a runner-up with all those sandbaggers is pretty impressive,
if I do say so myself. -- Shocking Toad, The Manager
