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!. It was a tough week for SERPENTS HOLD, to drop
4 places in the rankings. Coming up with a solid 2-0-0 outing, HOMESTAR & CO has
advanced 3 places in the rankings. Hey everybody, watch out for BLUE DEVIL, who flew
up 14 points in the rankings after mashing EMBEZZLING SCRIBE like a melon. Keep your
eye on this guy. And falling like a basher in the top ten was NORTHER, who dropped
11 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with STRONG BAD. Going for
the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was SEA DOGS' RAT CATCHER, who
was turned away from the Duelmastership by LIP GLOSS. 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 SEA DOGS was most avoided
team this week? Well, knowing the personal hygiene of SEA DOGS' warriors, I'm not
surprised! And you guys like to boo me? Well, unsling your rasberries, cause
HOMESTAR & CO beats feet every time SEA DOGS smiles at them. Try farming, eh? Well
dang howdy, but if challenges were votes, BISBEE BLUE would be president. Although
it may be a contest he doesn't want to win. BILBO BAGGINNI of MIDDLE ITALY had
better have a good reason for challenging down 13 points in a challenge which he won.
I thought BILBO BAGGINNI showed great skill and promise when he subdued BISBEE BLUE.
All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! There's got to be more reason for the sending of BIKINI to
the Dark Arena than hers record (3-2-0). Anybody got any ideas HOT STUFF? 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 ZUKAL have no
sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. Okay, so I may not be the
world's best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. See ya
next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster
