SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report. Sit
back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis. Hey everybody,
watch out for BLEU BONET, who flew up 17 points in the rankings after mashing VETERAN
MERCENARY like a melon. Keep your eye on this gal. Ya know, some days it doesn't
pay to walk out on the sands. MORAVIA MAUVE was defeated by GLINDORA and drops 9
points. Our battling duelmaster VENTRIIE has managed to hold the title, fending off
TRAKE DARROWS' none too subtle advances. Better luck next time, CRIMSON DEATH. An
apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay.
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
Here's a song for you: Who's afraid of the big, bad CRIMSON DEATH? Big bad CRIMSON
DEATH. Big bad CRIMSON DEATH. ZUKAL's afraid of the big bad CRIMSON DEATH. Tra la
la la la! Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch DARK WARDS' act in the arena.
Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from CRIMSON DEATH. Well just about
everybody wants a piece of BLUETTE, who was this week's most challenged warrior.
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! 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. Hasta la bye-bye. (Loud choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The
Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Slits Them Hammer -- You're getting ahead of yourself. Oh and I did not like that
low blow you did. Don't do that again -- DeBarrows
Roving Demon -- Begone demon, for I fear you not! -- Trake Darrows
Bleu Bonet -- Have you noticed that we often fight one another? Why are we fighting?
Well I know you're winning the contest with a record of 7-4 between us. -- Glindora
Bores Them Hammer -- Winning by letting me fall flat on my face and not even throwing
a punch does not take much effort. -- Athos
Blhu Murther -- You went high, I went low. Low wins. -- Porthos
Brujah -- You and your bathtub! See if I care. We've got a fine bath at our
guildhouse, you know. And no monsters in it. -- Bluette
P.S. I don't see how you can learn all those skills. It isn't like I *know*
anything.
Gangrel -- Well, darn. I thought I *had* you there at the bottom of the first page,
er, in the middle of the second minute. And then you turned the dratted fight around
and had *me*! Definitely not my day, and there are flood watches out, too. -- Blu
Jon
P.S. See if I ever give you a chance to stand up again once you're down. I'll pin
you to the sands with my spear the way a butterfly is pinned to a cork board. Ha.
Glindora -- Not *now*! I don't have time for it now. But sure, I'll be glad to help
you solve your hat problem later. And if that thing is the best you can do, well, I
can direct you to some excellent milliners. You'd be amazed what the right hat does
for a woman. -- Bleu Bonet
P.S. Probably not a bleu one, though. Maybe red. With your dark complexion, red
would be a winner.
Gores Them Hammer -- Oh, I'm sure you aren't really that mean. I can tell. In your
heart of hearts, you're just an old softie, aren't you? Although I will admit that
even with a lot of effort at excavating, I haven't managed to find your heart of
hearts yet. -- Moravia Mauve
Porthos -- Hmm, think you pulled something off there, don't you? But I have agents
in the alley who are just waiting for you to come out. They know that you have my
mark--they will see my mark on your forehead and know what to do. -- Blhu Murther
P.S. I don't understand why you stood on your head at the start of the fight. But
there's no other explanation: I aimed at your foot and hit you on the forehead.
Therefore, you must have been standing on your head.
Ventriie -- It seemed like the thing to do. We want you to move on quickly. --
Bluette
Gangrel -- I'd call it more...debateable. In fact, if you would care to meet me on
the waterfront (assuming we can find enough space clear of the sandbags), I will
debate it with you. Barge poles at ten feet? -- Blu Jon
Our congratulations to Brujah. -- Jorja and the Blue Moon
Brujah -- Or to NOT be fighting with one hand tied behind one's back. -- Tjorvek,
Master of Unarmed Combat
P.S. It is, I suppose, at least partly my fault. I described my ability, and they
took it to mean "combat without an arm." Sometimes the Commission is mind-numbingly
dense.
