                                      SPY REPORT

     Thankyouthankyou.  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.  (Loud choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown 
Spymaster
