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!. Say good-bye to YFEL STEORRA, as they are
pushed from the coveted top team spot by the DARK PANTHEON stable. Hey everybody,
watch out for BILLY THE GOAT, who flew up 10 points in the rankings after mashing
PERSISTENT BEGGAR like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it
doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. EMILY THE STRANGE lost to DANGEROUS CRIMINAL
and drops 4 points. Our battling duelmaster THIRD OMEN has managed to hold the
title, fending off XENORIA's none too subtle advances. Better luck next time,
TRANSEL. 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!
Did you hear that DARK PANTHEON was most avoided team this week? Well, knowing the
personal hygiene of DARK PANTHEON's warriors, I'm not surprised! For those of you
who like math, try this one: DARK PANTHEON + Weapons That go Boom = BATTLE BEASTS +
Avoid City. And who is this RED RIGHT HAND you ask, with 5 points and a 1-2-0
record. Ooh, the tales I could tell!
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Yesterday I talked to the BATTLE
BEASTS' manager and NATASHA IVANOVA, slayer of TROLLOC. The manager: 'I think I
can, I think I can'. NATASHA IVANOVA: 'I already did'. 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 TRANSEL giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). Well, there goes another Spy Report.
Good luck in next week's fights. Its been real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been
real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster

Battle Royal 4
The Battle Royal arena contests are one of the purest tests of manager skill
available. The rules are simple. The scoring is simple. The updates are live. If
you would like to participate, simply get a team ready in Talcama in the next month
and announce in the personals that you're in. The prize is bragging rights and
having your name along side previous winners (Doc Steele, Manray Frothingslosh, and
Manager). It is a brutal contest, but it is a lot of fun!
Basic rules: No avoiding other contest teams. Score = Wins + Kills - Losses.
Only fights against other BR teams count. First team to 25 wins!
BR4 begins in Talcama (DM 18) on turn 502, due on Jan 29, 2005.
