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 HATTIE, who flew
up 15 points in the rankings after mashing WEGERIN GREATBLADE like a melon. Keep
your eye on this gal. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.
NORMAL NAN lost to AGNAR and drops 2 points. Well, everybody's pal MISS AN THROPE
moved hers record to 14-6-1 by defeating CONCUSSION in the Duelmaster's Title Bout
and gaining 5 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 TRANSEL 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! 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. Well, there goes another Spy Report. Good luck in
next week's fights. See ya next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Miss An Thrope -- This is that "old familiar faces" thing, isn't it? On account of
you fighting Bimbette last time anybody fought around here. Well, just because
Bimbette is insanely jealous of you doesn't mean we're your friends. We aren't that
easy, babe. -- Deadly Duo
Who is this Xenoria and why do I have to associate with her? I don't like her. I
don't like anybody today. Probably not tomorrow, either. -- Hattie
Gah! It was a Dwarf! I can't stand dwarfs, they have hair everywhere! Being around
them makes me itch and I have to go shave my legs right NOW. -- Bimbette
Huh? I coulda sworn...I had this feeling there was... maybe a cat? I don't know,
it's all kinda blurry. -- Concussion
No. This Romiad Flindero person can't be a dwarf, he's too tall. This has to be
fixed immediately. I like things orderly, logical, and, you know, NORMAL, and if I
don't get it that way, there will be TROUBLE right here in River City. -- Normal Nan
P.S. Way worse than pool. Trust me on this.
Our grudging congratulations to Miss An Thrope, who is leaving and sticking us with
the duelmistress's columns for WEEKS because there's no one ELSE to do it. Damn. --
Psycho Squad
Our congratulations to Blood Titan, Second Omen, and Alpha Lyrae, hotshot tourney
victors. -- Psycho Squad
