SPY REPORT It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last week's fights. We now have a new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on. BEACH BABES now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep it. It looks like the guys(?) at CHURCH LADIES had a good week as they went 3-0-1 to put them in 2nd place. I guess steroids help! Hey everybody, watch out for SUSIE, who flew up 12 points in the rankings after mashing PERSISTENT BEGGAR like a melon. Keep your eye on this gal. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. CHIOS was defeated by PAM and drops 4 points. Try as hard as the BRUTAL LEGION stable might, they were unable to find their warrior (and ex-Duelmaster) FATALITY before this week's fights. In front of all the crowds, SLAMMER took the Duelmaster's crown for his own. I give the bum two weeks. 4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at that location. Here is other news that is of note. Did you hear that WASTELAND II was most avoided team this week? Well, knowing the personal hygiene of WASTELAND II's warriors, I'm not surprised! Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch SENTINELS' act in the arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from WASTELAND II. Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the most interesting, though! Well, the arena is no place for slow learners (and hopefully T.P.s) and OGRESMASHER demonstrated that very violently on GALVESTON GILLY's body. Knowing when to use the right tactics at the proper time is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster. 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. And remember, you can pick your friends and you can pick your--(loud boos), oh, you've heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SLAMMER 2726 13 11 2 96 AMEN!

The Sentinels will party in your honor, but will have a strict curfew--we don't want any more missed fights! -- Nomad Pensacolita -- Limited amounts of cranberry smash can be great. Are great. But I think "moderation" is becoming an important word around our guildhouse. -- Ogresmasher Nora -- Even having been victorious on the arena sands, I must admit I think I prefer the beach sands. "Gory" is never a word you want used to describe your time with a lady. -- Obrojobo Bubba -- I feel for you. At least for fights two and three it was your own fault because you challenged. Variety--I've heard it provides a bit of spice to life. -- Neanderthal Pensacolita -- I do enjoy our fights. It is always interesting to match blades with someone attempting to employ the same style. Perhaps more of that vitamin-rich cranberry smash would help? -- Erasmus Well, that's a shocker! I go into the fight an orc, and I come out an elf? I'm not understanding this. And Fatality, too--he went in Harkene and came out a golem! At least he didn't get altered in, um, other ways. But it's weird. -- Sandy Shore Fatality -- Enjoy the title, I surely did! -- Sandy Shore P.S. And I know you're not REALLY a golem. It's okay, I'll pass the word along to the other babes. Erasmus -- I know this isn't YOUR fault, but I'm annoyed! I'm completely elven, and now they say I'm only half elven! What kind of thing is that for some Commission flunky to say about my mother? And you sure as heck weren't Rirorni two weeks ago. -- Pensacolita Obrojobo -- Gods, is nothing sacred to the Commission? I am not and have NEVER BEEN an orc, and I take deep offense at being so described now. Just because I'm buxom-- they aren't supposed to be LOOKING at that. Them. You know. And you tell 'em you're not Mirani, you're jaundiced, okay? Let's raise a little HECK over this. -- N'Orleans Nora P.S. Oh, wait, I should say something about the fight, shouldn't I? Hang on while I check to see who won.... Ah, you did. Well, um, good fight? Ogresmasher -- Well, I can't blame you today! The way the Commission has been messing us around, ANYBODY could be an ogre in disguise. But I'm not, so I'm glad you only smashed me a little. -- Long Beach Lila P.S. Though I could have done without that, too. Dope Boy Fresh -- I dunno, maybe this business of being race-changed in my sleep isn't so bad after all. I won the fight, anyway. That's got to be good, right? -- Galveston Gilly Nomad -- Sorry, I think we may have mixed that punch a little strong. But it was full of vitamins! -- Sandy Shore P.S. A party in the hand looms bigger than the chance of parties in the distant future, you know. Ogresmasher -- It was a special recipe. -- Pensacolita The Saint -- All of 'em to Jorja. Did you know that if you sharpen the stick on the umbrella, you can use it to stab hor d'oerves? -- Nick Okiedokie, they're all changed. And I'll keep the umbrella thing in mind; you never know when something like that might come in handy. -- The Saint, keeper of lists Captain Ansaal Treans, Commander of the City Guard -- What? You mean we're training your guards? Do we get paid for this? Or at least a "Get out of jail free" card? -- 'Orleans Nora Chancellor Grendel -- Sounds good. We've been wanting to build an annex on the other side of the pool anyway. I'll see you get the bills! -- Sandy Shore 23 October 2007 ****************************************** ****************************************** ***** ******* ***** STORMCROWE SLAUGHTERHOUSE 3 ******* ***** ******* ****************************************** ****************************************** 9 TEAM (18 MANAGERS) have declared for the STORMCROWE SLAUGHTERHOUSE 3!!!
