                                      SPY REPORT

     Thankyouthankyou.  It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in 
MURSKA.  Hope you enjoy the show.  Oh, who am I kidding?  I already got paid!  Hey 
everybody, watch out for TAKE COVER, who flew up 17 points in the rankings after 
mashing CU-CADAL like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  Ya know, some days it 
doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.  CU-CADAL was overcame by TAKE COVER and drops 
16 points.  Going for the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was 
DEVILS OF THE DEEP's MEGALODON, who was turned away from the Duelmastership by 
BARRISTER.  4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming 
at that location.   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the MURSKA arena.  Here's a 
song for you:  Who's afraid of the big, bad THE BEARS?  Big bad THE BEARS.  Big bad 
THE BEARS.  MURSKA's afraid of the big bad THE BEARS.  Tra la la la la!  For those of 
you who like math, try this one:  THE BEARS + Weapons That go Boom = BLITZKRIEG + 
Avoid City.  And who is this O'MALLEY you ask, with 70 points and a 7-4-1 record.  
Ooh, the tales I could tell!  Challenging down 19 points was O'MALLEY.  Pretty soon 
he'll be using two shields and selling 'T.P.:  The only way to clean up' pins.  
Definition of petty:  O'MALLEY subdued MORPETH, a mismatch of 19 points.  Getting 
lots of flowers from sympathetic fans was KAI, who was successfully challenged by 
RAZZLE DAZZLE who had a mere 22 points more than KAI.  Definition of petty:  RAZZLE 
DAZZLE overcame KAI, a mismatch of 22 points.   
     Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day 
drinking to their memory.  Better tanked than dead!  This round goes to BLITZKRIEG, 
their 8-3-2 warrior, BARRISTER slew the 9-2-0 MEGALODON.  Stay tuned next week to see 
what happens.  Knowing when to use the right tactics at the proper time is a very 
important step on the road to Duelmaster.   
     Well, there's the manager of the MURSKA giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that 
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?).  C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some 
tracks.  Hasta la bye-bye.  (Loud choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown 
Spymaster

Blue Eyes -- I just melt before those baby blues.  (sigh)  You're such a sweet little
thing, and you beat me up so thoroughly.... -- Oisan

Take Cover -- Sounds like something you SHOULD do.  I've seldom seen a Bear more
bare, if I may put it so.  Heck, you don't need to TAKE cover, I'll give it to you!
-- Cu-Cadal
P.S.  If you don't mind faded and mended.

Darling Nikki my left big toe!  I'll "darling" you, you hussy!  You're just jealous
because I've got more of a figure than you do!  You Karnhorns are all alike, skinny
and insecure! -- Morpeth, fuming ineffectively

Kama Kazi -- Ouch!  I guess I should be glad you didn't kill me, but at least if you
HAD, I wouldn't hurt this much! -- Kai the sorely wounded and badly hurt
P.S.  Not the introduction to the arena I was hoping for.

Razzle Dazzle -- Amazing.  Is that an elf thing?  The colored lights, the blare of
trumpets....  Oh, I see there's a man with a trumpet in the stands.  But still.
Amazing. -- Dallow the easily amazed

hear from anyone who remembers me, as well as any Alliance that is seeking to add
experienced managers to their roster.  Contact me at:
