                                      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.  IN 
MIDDLE EARTH now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep it.  Hey 
everybody, watch out for KAIREEN LAMAR, who flew up 18 points in the rankings after 
mashing GREEN BEANS like a melon.  Keep your eye on this gal.  And falling like a 
basher in the top ten was GREEN BEANS, who dropped 10 points after a disappointing 
(to say the least) bout with KAIREEN LAMAR.  In front of all the crowds, REAPER took 
the Duelmaster's crown for its own.  I give the bum two weeks.  Can you believe they 
are paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff?   
     But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!   
     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.   
     I think I had better cut this one short.  It's been nice chatting to those of 
you whom I have not offended yet.  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

Green Beans -- Seriously, is this food?  Green... they're going moldy!  Beans should
be red, white, or black.  Not green.  And you have to be careful with the red ones,
they can bleed on you. -- Senlum Nosh

Candied Yams -- NOT food.  It's some kind of fly bait, isn't it? -- Kaireen Lamar

Boromir -- I don't see how you could win a "slim" victory when you aren't slim in the
least.  Scrawny, maybe.  Could you do a "scrawny victory," do you think? -- Barnum
Chells

Cran-Berry -- Wow, a masterful woman!  I think I like you.  How about if you beat me
up some more so I can figure it out for sure? -- Caleb Door
P.S.  Dinner, too, if you want.
P.P.S.  I mean, I'll BUY dinner.

A Convicted Thief?  Okay.  I can do a Convicted Thief. -- Delmar Erigen
