                                      SPY REPORT

     Thankyouthankyou.  It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in ARVAT. 
Hope you enjoy the show.  Oh, who am I kidding?  I already got paid!  ANGELS OF PAIN 
is no joke as it posted a 3-0-0 week advancing from 6th place to 6th place.  Hey 
everybody, watch out for DEVASTATION, who flew up 29 points in the rankings after 
mashing LEAKY SPOON like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  And falling like a 
basher in the top ten was NIIRSHA, who dropped 17 points after a disappointing (to 
say the least) bout with NIGHTMARE.  In front of all the crowds, PICKLE PIE took the 
Duelmaster's crown for his own.  I give the bum two weeks.  Advice to bashers--never 
force anything, just get a bigger halberd!   
     But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!  
Did you hear that SECRET SQUIRRELS was most avoided team this week?  Well, knowing 
the personal hygiene of SECRET SQUIRRELS' warriors, I'm not surprised!  For those of 
you who like math, try this one:  SECRET SQUIRRELS + Weapons That go Boom = DEVIL 
ADVOCATES + Avoid City.  Well just about everybody wants a piece of PLAGUE, who was 
this week's most challenged warrior.   
     Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day 
drinking to their memory.  Better tanked than dead!  Congrats to HURLY BURLY for 
revenging the death of his teammate (but more importantly, feeding S. MOE DIUS a bit 
of dirt).  Ask not the elves for counsel, for they will say both yes and no.  Silly 
buggers, eh?   
     Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in ARVAT 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.  Its been 
real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster
