It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in ARKERS. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid! Coming up with a solid 1-1-0 outing, SERIOUS LEE has advanced 3 places in the rankings. Advancing in the rankings was BLOODY HAND CLAN who went from last turn's 112-91-6, to this week's record of 116-92-6. Hey everybody, watch out for GETTYSBURG, who flew up 20 points in the rankings after mashing VIRTUOUS SCRIBE like a melon. Keep your eye on this beast. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. ZOMBIE lost to LORD SHADOW and drops 10 points. Well, if ya don't shows up at the laundromat, ya can'ts wash yer clothes. SITTING BULL did not fight this week so his title was forfeit. It's a proud day for the THE CHOSEN stable, as their warrior, HALIN STORMBREAKER, ascended the Duelmaster's throne. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay. Here is other news that is of note. Here's a song for you: Who's afraid of the big, bad HOYT FOUNDATION? Big bad HOYT FOUNDATION. Big bad HOYT FOUNDATION. ARKERS' afraid of the big bad HOYT FOUNDATION. Tra la la la la! Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch THE CHOSEN's act in the arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from HOYT FOUNDATION. Well just about everybody wants a piece of STANDING ROOM ONLY, who was this week's most challenged warrior. THE BEGGAR of HOYT FOUNDATION had better have a good reason for challenging down 8 points in a challenge which he won. I thought THE BEGGAR showed great skill and promise when he bested LADY SMOKE. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal! 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. Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in ARKERS have no sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some tracks. Hasta la bye-bye.
