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.
ABOMINATION now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep it. It looks like
the guys(?) at THE MOONDOGS had a good week as they went 4-1-0 to put them in 3rd
place. I guess steroids help! Hey everybody, watch out for GOLDILOCKS, who flew up
18 points in the rankings after mashing FRIDAY THE 13TH like a melon. Keep your eye
on this gal. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. TREMORS
was overcame by WIZARDS! and drops 11 points. Going for the gusto and coming up with
aught but bloody knuckles was KOLACT's M. CHARDINEE, who was turned away from the
Duelmastership by THE GRINCH. 4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, so
try and avoid aiming at that location.
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the KOLACT arena. Did you
hear that BACON MAKIN' was most avoided team this week? Well, knowing the personal
hygiene of BACON MAKIN''s warriors, I'm not surprised! And you guys like to boo me?
Well, unsling your rasberries, cause ABOMINATION beats feet every time BACON MAKIN'
smiles at them. Try farming, eh? Well just about everybody wants a piece of
TREMORS, who was this week's most challenged warrior.
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Knowing when to use the right
tactics at the proper time is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.
Well, there's the manager of the KOLACT giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). Okay, so I may not be the world's
best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. Its been real,
and its been fun, but it hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster

Tremors -- You go shaking the hot skillet like that, you're going to have grease
burns everywhere. -- Lunelle Merrin
Flatliners -- I don't LIKE my bacon pounded flat, thank you very much. -- Cresdene
Arct
Jerry -- Somehow it seems... symmetrical to bury a cat in the sand. Too bad the
arenamaster stopped me. Arenamaster all over Alastari are constantly doing that, and
I wish they wouldn't. Sometimes it NEEDS to be done. -- Ferrin Mondor
Tom -- I don't know why chickens cross the street, but I'm sure cats do it to be
aggravating. -- Lia Hobern
G.I. Jane -- It isn't that I'm opposed to you winning a fight, but I think you should
work for it. -- Simoon Terrat
Goldilocks -- Show-off! -- Cresdene Arct

it and that we will see you there!
