                                      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.  
GREENWARDENS now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep it.  It looks 
like the guys(?) at BLOODSWORN had a good week as they went 3-1-0 to put them in 2nd 
place.  I guess steroids help!  Hey everybody, watch out for THE GRINCH, who flew up 
18 points in the rankings after mashing INDEMOS like a melon.  Keep your eye on this 
beast.  Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.  INDEMOS was 
subdued by THE GRINCH and drops 27 points.  In front of all the crowds, GO AND GO 
took the Duelmaster's crown for his own.  I give the bum two weeks.  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 TRIPLE  CROWN?  Big bad TRIPLE 
CROWN.  Big bad TRIPLE CROWN.  MALCORN's afraid of the big bad TRIPLE CROWN.  Tra la 
la la la!  Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch DR. SEUSS' act in the arena.  Those 
acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from TRIPLE CROWN.  Well dang howdy, but 
if challenges were votes, GO AND GO would be president.  Although it may be a contest 
he doesn't want to win.  HOMUNCULUS of DARK CREATION had better have a good reason 
for challenging down 9 points in a challenge which he won.  I thought HOMUNCULUS 
showed great skill and promise when he won victory over DEGALONIAN RUK.  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!  Remember:  alliances are great, but try and take your ally 
in the arena with you and see what happens.   
     Well, there's the manager of the MALCORN giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that 
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?).  Well, there goes another Spy Report.  
Good luck in next week's fights.  See ya next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown 
Spymaster

The Grinch -- There you are AGAIN!  So, are you going to steal Columbus Day?  Not
that many people would notice if you did, but still, since it's WAY too early for you
to go after Christmas, I thought I'd check.  I still don't know whether it even
really COUNTS, you know?  Will they pick up the trash that morning, or won't they?  A
tricky question, and very important. -- Patterson Pine

     In this part of the world it counts.  Those who pick up the trash need all the
     holidays they can get. -- Ed.

Somnambulant -- Hmm, what I need to learn from YOU is, how to sleep while standing in
the arena looking like I'm awake and alert.  Difficult, because I always close my
eyes when I sleep.  Hmm.  If I could persuade Jorja that I'm studying one of those
special techniques where you see with your ears...?  Worth a try. -- Hob L. D'Hoy
P.S.  If you face the foes in your bathtub that way, I'm surprised you don't DROWN.

Revanent -- Three shots to the throat?  Are your teammates teasing you for your lack
of kills? -- Tree Shadow
P.S.  Good thing I have a superior gorget, isn't it?  It's a gorgeous gorget, too.
Nothing but the best.
P.P.S.  Or as good as I can afford.

Ambitious Guard?  Life must be hard for ambitious guards, or at least for those who
are too dumb to get new and different, achievable ambitions.  Not that I'm going to
throw a fight to one, mind.  They have to take their lumps. -- Periwinkle

Homunculus -- Looks like you've got a problem, boy.  I hope for your sake that your
manager is on top of it, but these days, who knows?  My manager is supposed to know
what she's doing, but whatever that is, she isn't managing us.  Oh, well, it's a good
life if you don't die.  I guess. -- Jessalin

Slayver -- Congratulations on your bloodfeud match. -- The Greenwardens

No Duel2Dude?  I look for a match between our tied-for-top-rank warriors to resolve
this embarrassing problem. -- Jorja

     I am back in the arena and thinking back to those days in 1984 where I was a
novice and clueless manager.
     Now, 22 years later it looks like I am an ancient and once again clueless
manager.
     I am looking to recover some old warriors.  Since none of them are Aimed Blows,
they are no threat to win anything.  I just want to see how they turned out.

The Couatl 2-17
Madam Butterfly 20-701
Gypsy Moth 20-703
King Crab 21-1
Priestess Python 26-1388

Please contact me at DekeYoung@Comcast.net if you know about any of these ancient
warriors, or just want to bs about the old, old, old times.

It is obvious that the Dark Knights wish to be shown the light.  Allow me to step
forward and blind them with truth.  YOU ARE WORTHLESS!!!  The Dark Knights are so
afraid of the light that they hide behind their black armor and empty threats.  It is
too bad they are unwilling to actually FIGHT us!  I guess our natural light is too
bright for you all to face!  Fear us, for we are here! -- Gemini Goldphoenix,
Overlord of the Avengers of Light!
