                                      SPY REPORT

     It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last 
week's fights.  It looks like the guys(?) at STARBASE 5 had a good week as they went 
4-0-0 to put them in 3rd place.  I guess steroids help!  RAINBOW CONNECTION seems to 
have it's eye on the top team spot, and if they continue having 4-1-0 weeks they may 
get it!  Hey everybody, watch out for STARLYN FYREFLY, who flew up 21 points in the 
rankings after mashing QRYSYS like a melon.  Keep your eye on this gal.  Ya know, 
some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.  QREATED lost to FIZBAN and drops 
15 points.  In front of all the crowds, AGATE took the Duelmaster's crown for his 
own.  I give the bum two weeks.  Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a 
bigger halberd!   
     Here is other news that is of note.  And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't 
avoid WRETCHED HORDE, please raise you hand.  Wow.  Does MALCORN really have that 
many liars?  And you guys like to boo me?  Well, unsling your rasberries, cause VC 
RULES beats feet every time WRETCHED HORDE smiles at them.  Try farming, eh?  Well 
just about everybody wants a piece of DROVANITAR LIX, who was this week's most 
challenged warrior.   
     Death is kind of like a new puppy:  he's always around wanting to play.  (Ha 
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?).  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.  Its been real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been 
real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster

All -- Hello, everybody, it is I, Fizban the famous, and I have decided to grace your
glorious arena with my presence.  Okay, more like clutter it up, but here I am with
my Team VC Rules. -- Fizban

Golden Dream -- I don't think I like you very much. -- Street Legal

Qreated -- Hmm, still trying to figure out how I lost that one.  May have to try you
again. -- Fizban the warrior

Rexroth -- That was well done, and I am glad of it.  I didn't have anything planned
to say for this time, if I had been duelmaster again.  Now I am spared that
embarrassment. -- Rockwood

Stariel -- Ah... you're going to have a problem, aren't you, if you don't keep that
record positive?  I'll give you what help I can, but I won't lose for you, lady.  I
have my own honor to maintain, and it means doing my best every time. -- Agate

Qyrsys -- The freakish fancies of the crowd are a constant amazement.  Why should
they jeer you after you won? -- Stonebow
P.S.  They're probably jealous.

Starlyn Fyrefly -- Actually, that last bit isn't true.  The only "foe" I've
encountered while bathing was once when I was using a stream in the woods, a crawdad
pinched my toe.  You're much more formidable than that. -- Bristlecone

Drovanitar Lix -- You probably need more music in your life. -- Silverbird
P.S.  Or at least dancing.

9 February 10
All -- I know you all thought the old Wiz that is Fiz went off to die somewhere.
Well, I didn't.  Now I'm back to befuddle and frustrate you with my senseless
ramblings.  I look forward to reconnecting with all my old friends and enemies alike.
-- Fizban the Famous
