                                      SPY REPORT

     It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last 
week's fights.  Say good-bye to DODGE BULLETS, as they are pushed from the coveted 
top team spot by the BIG LAKE PURE stable.  Coming up with a solid 0-1-0 outing, 2111 
BOURBON ST has advanced 3 places in the rankings.  Advancing in the rankings was BIG 
LAKE PURE who went from last turn's 249-223-23, to this week's record of 253-223-25.  
Hey everybody, watch out for ROSE PURITY, who flew up 27 points in the rankings after 
mashing MYRON MEI like a melon.  Keep your eye on this gal.  And falling like a 
basher in the top ten was STURDEVANT, who dropped 18 points after a disappointing (to 
say the least) bout with CHALLENGER.  What does the Duelmaster and Piltdown Man have 
in common?  They are both the most challenged apes in human history!  Heyheyhey!  
It's a proud day for the BASH BROS BODY stable, as their warrior, STRETCH MARKS, 
ascended the Duelmaster's throne.  4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, 
so try and avoid aiming at that location.   
     Here is other news that is of note.  Here's a song for you:  Who's afraid of the 
big, bad DIZNEE?  Big bad DIZNEE.  Big bad DIZNEE.  MORYA's afraid of the big bad 
DIZNEE.  Tra la la la la!  For those of you who like math, try this one:  DIZNEE + 
Weapons That go Boom = BASH BROS BODY + Avoid City.   
     Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day 
drinking to their memory.  Better tanked than dead!  Proving again that MORYA is not 
rated G, ROSE PURITY of the BIG LAKE PURE slew the warrior MYRON MEI in a rather 
bloody bout.  Let's look for a bloodfeud.  Knowing when to use the right tactics at 
the proper time is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.   
     I think I had better cut this one short.  It's been nice chatting to those of 
you whom I have not offended yet.  Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian, 
but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.  Its been real, and its been fun, 
but it hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster
