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 CARRIE OAKEY, who flew up 23 points in the rankings after mashing GOLD
FILLING like a melon. Keep your eye on this gal. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay
to walk out on the sands. GOLD FILLING was bested by CARRIE OAKEY and drops 19
points. Our battling duelmaster FELIX has managed to hold the title, fending off
CONVICTED ASSASSIN's none too subtle advances. Better luck next time, WILLAF.
Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd!
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the WILLAF arena. And hey,
kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid YAMABUSHI, please raise you hand. Wow. Does
WILLAF really have that many liars? And you guys like to boo me? Well, unsling your
rasberries, cause LUST MUPPETS beats feet every time YAMABUSHI smiles at them. Try
farming, eh? Well just about everybody wants a piece of O. PUN PLEEZJ, who was this
week's most challenged warrior. Well, it looks like MOOT wasn't happy with last
turn's rank, so he went for broke by challenging up 32 points. No guts, no glory. I
heard MOOT laughed all the way to the inn as his new point total of 93 was posted in
the arena. I guess beating PEACH NUTT really pays! MONKEYPANTS of LUST MUPPETS had
better have a good reason for challenging down 12 points in a challenge which he
lost. I thought MONKEYPANTS showed great skill and promise when he was subdued by
PUNH JENTLY. 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! This week 9-5-0 GOLD COAST was sent to the Dark Arena. I
know a lot of fighters with similar records who might take notice of this. There's
got to be more reason for the sending of GOLD COAST to the Dark Arena than its record
(9-5-0). Anybody got any ideas GOLDEN GLADIATORS? Remember: alliances are great,
but try and take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens.
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some tracks. Its been
real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster

Battle Royal 4
The Battle Royal arena contests are one of the purest tests of manager skill
available. The rules are simple. The scoring is simple. The updates are live. If
you would like to participate, simply get a team ready in Talcama in the next month
and announce in the personals that you're in. The prize is bragging rights and
having your name along side previous winners (Doc Steele, Manray Frothingslosh, and
Manager). It is a brutal contest, but it is a lot of fun!
Basic rules: No avoiding other contest teams. Score = Wins + Kills - Losses.
Only fights against other BR teams count. First team to 25 wins!
BR4 begins in Talcama (DM 18) on turn 502, due on Jan 29, 2005.
