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. PHILANTHROPISTS now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep it. Hey everybody, watch out for PATRICE, who flew up 10 points in the rankings after mashing M. CHARDINEE like a melon. Keep your eye on this gal. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. LUNK HEAD was defeated by MORDANT DESERTER and drops 9 points. Well here's a duelmaster that doesn't sit back and say 'Challenge me'! ALE'CHAI TALLSKY made a challenge against TOURNEY SCUM this week. Going for the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was BUSY, BUSYTOWN's TOURNEY SCUM, who was turned away from the Duelmastership by ALE'CHAI TALLSKY. 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. Did you hear that LOST CAUSE was most avoided team this week? Well, knowing the personal hygiene of LOST CAUSE's warriors, I'm not surprised! For those of you who like math, try this one: LOST CAUSE + Weapons That go Boom = PHILANTHROPISTS + Avoid City. Well dang howdy, but if challenges were votes, PANE would be president. Although it may be a contest he doesn't want to win. Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Remember: alliances are great, but try and take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens. I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of you whom I have not offended yet. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some tracks. Hasta la bye-bye.

It has been a while since the last get together (several years). It was a blast and I am sure the next one will be also. We just have to do it. All alliances are welcome. Just because my warriors leave your warrior beaten and bloody in defeat does not mean we can't have a beer or five together. I'll even buy the first round. So call 805-588-3419 and ask for Dave a.k.a. Misfit, former member of the Green and Purple Polka Dot Alliance (GAPPDA).
