Finally took the throne back right before I leave. Well, 1 more round ahead of me before I graduate. And per usual my Manager will be sending me to the Dark Arena to send some monster screaming back into hell. It was a great stay around here. Censorship 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 MUGSY, who flew up 21 points in the rankings after mashing BATIATUS like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. BATIATUS was subdued by MUGSY and drops 16 points. Well here's a duelmaster that doesn't sit back and say 'Challenge me'! CENSORSHIP made a Dark Arena Challenge against STONE GOLEM this week. The crowds were amazed this turn, as STONE GOLEM killed the Duelmaster, CENSORSHIP, leaving ABOMINATION in mourning. This incredible death has allowed, I might add, SCARFACE from THE CLUB to ascend to the throne of Duelmaster, and I hear DARK ARENA is not happy. 4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at that location. But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle! Did you hear that THE MOONDOGS was most avoided team this week? Well, knowing the personal hygiene of THE MOONDOGS' warriors, I'm not surprised! For those of you who like math, try this one: THE MOONDOGS + Weapons That go Boom = EVERYDAY PEOPLE + Avoid City. 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, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in KOLACT 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. Its been real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SCARFACE 5965 15 5 2 116 THE CLUB (559) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ANN OREXIA 5409 10 5 1 102 EVERYDAY PEOPLE (510) TROG 5936 19 21 1 98 ABOMINATION (393) ULF SUNDERHELM 5888 9 4 2 93 VIKINGS (34) SKYHAWK 1228 16 6 0 91 VIKINGS (34) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ADDAI 5951 20 15 0 79 SERPENTS HOLD!

You might want to join him cause you sure aren't any good at this gladiator thing. -- Batiatus Monzar Orbisar -- How embarrasing for you. Almost killed by a TP. -- Dora T. Explora Gaevahn Naelle -- Oops! Guess I don't know my own strength. -- Human Centipede Censorship -- If I do that, it might get broken! Or at least scratched. -- Iayelle Orbin Batiatus -- "Falling down" is in lesson ten of the Be A Gladiator By Mail course. I haven't gotten to it yet. -- Monzar Orbisar Our congratulations to Censorship. -- Jorja and the Moondogs Addai -- Snakes. Ugh. I hate 'em. -- Iayelle Orbin Censorship -- I did *try* to hit that icky snake with my weapon, but it dodged! That shouldn't be allowed! -- Iayelle El Presidente -- Oh, huh, I thought you'd be an Abomination. You *are* in many ways. -- Deimoon Farr Dora T. Explora -- But I don't *have* the map! I set it down somewhere, and... it wasn't there when I went back to look. And I'm nearly sure I remembered the right place to look in. -- Monzar Orbisar P.S. I bet if we teamed up instead of fighting each other, we could find a NEW map. Mugsy -- How annoying of you. -- Eutherine Planeda P.S. I was hoping for a gentleman with whom I could go treasure hunting. I found this map just lying around, you see.... Human Centipede -- You're right, you are an abomination. Although I think your response was extreme for a simple refusal to knit you "socks all around." -- Gaevahn Naelle LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS CENSORSHIP was viciously butchered by STONE GOLEM in a 3 minute Dark Arena fight.
