                                      SPY REPORT

     Thankyouthankyou.  It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in 
LYRATILAN.  Hope you enjoy the show.  Oh, who am I kidding?  I already got paid!  Hey 
everybody, watch out for COLJ, who flew up 11 points in the rankings after mashing 
DAVIA HANNAS like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  And falling like a basher in 
the top ten was DAVIA HANNAS, who dropped 9 points after a disappointing (to say the 
least) bout with COLJ.  Our battling duelmaster SPARK has managed to hold the title, 
fending off RICK O'SHEA's none too subtle advances.  Better luck next time, FUNKY 
FOLK.  An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay.   
     Here is other news that is of note.  Here's a song for you:  Who's afraid of the 
big, bad THE MIDDLE WAY 4?  Big bad THE MIDDLE WAY 4.  Big bad THE MIDDLE WAY 4.  
LYRATILAN's afraid of the big bad THE MIDDLE WAY 4.  Tra la la la la!  For those of 
you who like math, try this one:  THE MIDDLE WAY 4 + Weapons That go Boom = ERRATA + 
Avoid City.  Well dang howdy, but if challenges were votes, VELOND WOK would be 
president.  Although it may be a contest he doesn't want to win.   
     Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day 
drinking to their memory.  Better tanked than dead!  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.  See ya next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster

Spark -- WELL done!  I am so glad that someone else has to write "a few words from
the champ" this time.  I had totally run out of things to say. -- Velond Wok

Mental -- We both must be to enter the arena, don't you think? -- Quia Salian

Hey, my mother raised me to be polite!  I couldn't have forced myself to run down
that poor Jaywalker. -- Beltran Foss
P.S.  Okay, not poor.  That helm probably set him back a bundle.
P.P.S.  Okay, so I didn't run him down out of consideration, I was moved by self
preservation.  That guy was ruthless, I tell you, totally ruthless!

Colj -- I could've gone all day without that. -- Ghost of Desmin Erh

The Ruthless Jaywalker was so busy laughing at Beltran that he was easy meat for me.
I like it that way. -- Davia Hannas

5 November 2005
It is with a proud heart that I announce the newest member of the Desolate Empire
