SPY REPORT
So why do I have this bag over my head? Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and
I'm going to give you a spy report!. Say good-bye to REALLY?, as they are pushed
from the coveted top team spot by the GOLDEN GLADIATORS stable. Hey everybody, watch
out for HORUS MANN, who flew up 14 points in the rankings after mashing GOLDPLATED
like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk
out on the sands. GOLDPLATED was subdued by HORUS MANN and drops 7 points. Unlike
most arenas, GOOD AS GOLD managed to get its challenge off against the 17-26-0 JOHN
DERE. Our battling duelmaster GOOD AS GOLD has managed to hold the title, fending
off JOHN DERE's none too subtle advances. Better luck next time, PUNNY AMINALS.
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. Here's a
song for you: Who's afraid of the big, bad PUNNY AMINALS? Big bad PUNNY AMINALS.
Big bad PUNNY AMINALS. WILLAF's afraid of the big bad PUNNY AMINALS. Tra la la la
la! Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch GOLDEN GLADIATORS' act in the arena.
Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from PUNNY AMINALS. Well dang
howdy, but if challenges were votes, TWILO TALON would be president. Although it may
be a contest he doesn't want to win. In a touching display by a 'touched' warrior,
CHICKEN WHISPERER went after TWILO TALON, who was higher by 19 points. Well, when
the dust settled, CHICKEN WHISPERER was overcame by TWILO TALON.
Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). There's got to be more reason for the
sending of DA1 to the Dark Arena than his record (2-1-2). Anybody got any ideas
REALLY?? Proving again that WILLAF is not rated G, GOLD DUBLOON of the GOLDEN
GLADIATORS slew the warrior WHAT THE HECK! in a rather bloody bout. Let's look for a
bloodfeud. Congrats to GOLD DUBLOON for revenging the death of his teammate (but
more importantly, feeding WHAT THE HECK! a bit of dirt). Remember: alliances are
great, but try and take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens.
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in WILLAF 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. And
remember, you can pick your friends and you can pick your--(loud boos), oh, you've
heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Oh, my! I killed Malcorn Insurgent right out of the box in my first fight! I am so
surprised as I rate myself barely better than mediocre. I am sorry, NPC clan, but it
was not intended. -- Golden Globe
Horus Mann -- You may be big, and you may be strong, but you are not smart enough to
beat a fifth grader. (wink) -- Goldplated
P.S. Me neither on the latter.
Dee Nile -- Thanks for the tussle and for finally being the one to send me off to The
Big Show. -- Gold Charm
John Dere -- I may be "squishy" as you call it, but I am GOLDEN. (wink) -- Gold Charm
John Dere -- It was your chance, but I proved to be up for it. Kudos. -- Good As
Gold
Ahhhhh! My team has turned things aroung as everything came up golden this round.
Thanks for the golden 4-0 memories, guys! -- Midas
Good As Gold -- I am really, really proud of you, Duelmaster. -- Midas
Health. Humility. Honor. This is the first day of the rest of your life. -- Midas
and The Golden Gladiators, Consortium affiliated
Goldplated -- This is true. I am. -- Dee Nile
Gold Charm -- Well, you're a woman. I'm not a woman's man, you know. Well, I'm not
anyone's man in the sense of being possessed, but... women are so much trouble. So
NEEDY. -- John Dere
P.S. And they're squishy.
Good as Gold -- Flukey, since you ask. -- Riplye Byrd
We congratulate Gold Charm. -- Jorja and the Punny Aminals
Good as Gold -- Bah, golems. Probably an Oliver Rowcrop. -- John Dere
P.S. Not that an Oliver Rowcrop is bad, if you have crops in rows.
I can't believe you did that, and I will NOT believe you did that. -- Dee Nile
P.S. I suppose it was the rating that gave you the final boost, wasn't it?
M. Chardinee... better than a loss, I guess. -- Ripley Byrd
Goldplated -- That's typical of the times, I suppose. Everyone's concerned with
superficial appearance rather than substance. We may live to regret this. -- Horus
Mann
Twilo Talon -- That was fairly embarrassing. Well won. -- Tulane Rhoades
