                                      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!.  We now have a new top team for all of you guys 
to dogpile on.  THE WARLOCKS now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep 
it.  For every winner there is a loser.  Speaking of losers, lets take a look at 
LENPROS, who went down to 7th from 11th.  Life is tough.  Coming up with a solid 
3-2-0 outing, THE BRIGADE has advanced 3 places in the rankings.  It looks like the 
guys(?) at GAMEHENDGE had a good week as they went 4-0-0 to put them in 2nd place.  I 
guess steroids help!  Hey everybody, watch out for UNSCATHED, who flew up 24 points 
in the rankings after mashing BIG MAC like a melon.  Keep your eye on this beast.  Ya 
know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.  GISSANNIAH was bested by 
JET'E and drops 30 points.  The most challenged warrior this week was TELA.  If this 
keeps up, our Duelmaster's going to need more avoids!  ADMIRAL ISO got through to the 
Duelmaster this turn.  No doubt he was more than anxious to kick TELA's tail out of 
the throne!  Our battling duelmaster TELA has managed to hold the title, fending off 
ADMIRAL ISO's none too subtle advances.  Better luck next time, LENPROS.  Advice to 
bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd!   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the IAYE arena.  Did you hear 
that GAMEHENDGE was most avoided team this week?  Well, knowing the personal hygiene 
of GAMEHENDGE's warriors, I'm not surprised!  Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch 
LENPROS' act in the arena.  Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from 
GAMEHENDGE.   
     Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the 
most interesting, though!  Knowing when to use the right tactics at the proper time 
is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.   
     Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in IAYE have no sense 
of humor.  Or maybe that they were senseless.  Well, there goes another Spy Report.  
Good luck in next week's fights.  And remember, you can pick your friends and you can 
pick your--(loud boos), oh, you've heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster

ATTENTION ALL YOU ALLIANCE-TYPE PEOPLE:
For the purposes of tourney newsletter alliance listings (when I am able to do them),
you may only be listed in ONE alliance.  In other words, you have to choose!  If you
are a part of Englebert's Alliance and Englebert's Alliance is "part" of Ruthrauf's
Alliance, I will list you EITHER as part of Englebert's Alliance OR as part of
Ruthrauf's Alliance, NOT both.  The default would be the top-level alliance,
Ruthrauf's, in this example.  If you'd rather be listed separately, let me know and I
will do so, but that will be the only listing you get. -- The Saint, keeper of ever-
more-complicated lists
