                                      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!  
Advancing in the rankings was FLIPPERS ARCADE who went from last turn's 75-60-6, to 
this week's record of 78-61-6.  Hey everybody, watch out for DINGO DOG, who flew up 
15 points in the rankings after mashing KAI like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy. 
Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.  KAI lost to DINGO DOG 
and drops 11 points.  Unlike most arenas, NOREASTER managed to get his challenge off 
against the 12-8-2 OH OHLISH OMINAH.  Our battling duelmaster NOREASTER has managed 
to hold the title, fending off OH OHLISH OMINAH's none too subtle advances.  Better 
luck next time, PHILANTHROPISTS 3.  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 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 = BUSY, BUSYTOWN + Avoid City.  Well just about 
everybody wants a piece of CADAL COONTZ, who was this week's most challenged warrior. 
Well, it looks like FATHER CAT wasn't happy with last turn's rank, so he went for 
broke by challenging up 43 points.  No guts, no glory.  To the crowd's chants of 
'Bo-zo bo-zo bo-zo', CADAL COONTZ was taken out by the lower-ranked FATHER CAT.  
(Maybe it's time to think Dark Arena?).   
     Death is kind of like a new puppy:  he's always around wanting to play.  (Ha 
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?).  Remember:  alliances are great, but try and 
take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens.   
     Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in MURSKA 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
