                                      SPY REPORT

     It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last 
week's fights.  We now have a new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on.  
CHILDREN OF LLYR now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep it.  
Advancing in the rankings was LOST CAUSE who went from last turn's 316-264-29, to 
this week's record of 321-264-29.  Hey everybody, watch out for BRENNA, who flew up 
10 points in the rankings after mashing VETERAN MERCENARY like a melon.  Keep your 
eye on this gal.  Unlike most arenas, ALE'CHAI TALLSKY managed to get its challenge 
off against the 33-17-0 TOURNEY SCUM.  Well, everybody's pal ALE'CHAI TALLSKY moved 
its record to 15-0-0 by defeating TOURNEY SCUM in the Duelmaster's Title Bout and 
gaining 19 recognition points.  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.  And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't 
avoid LOST CAUSE, please raise you hand.  Wow.  Does MURSKA really have that many 
liars?  And you guys like to boo me?  Well, unsling your rasberries, cause 
PHILANTHROPISTS beats feet every time LOST CAUSE smiles at them.  Try farming, eh?  
Well dang howdy, but if challenges were votes, PACIFIST would be president.  Although 
it may be a contest he doesn't want to win.  Getting lots of flowers from sympathetic 
fans was DRENDAN O'KAI, who was successfully challenged by UGLY GENTLEMAN who had a 
mere 44 points more than DRENDAN O'KAI.  Definition of petty:  UGLY GENTLEMAN 
overcame DRENDAN O'KAI, a mismatch of 44 points.  In a touching display by a 
'touched' warrior, THEROD went after ANGUS ARGUS, who was higher by 18 points.  Well, 
when the dust settled, THEROD was subdued by ANGUS ARGUS.  CLYDE of LOST CAUSE had 
better have a good reason for challenging down 8 points in a challenge which he won.  
I thought CLYDE showed great skill and promise when he defeated PACIFIST.  All right, 
so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the 
most interesting, though!  Here's some advice:  warriors with little wit and will may 
encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.   
     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?).  Well, there goes another Spy Report.  
Good luck in next week's fights.  See ya next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown 
Spymaster

31 May 2008
Any and all who live in the 805 area, I would like for you to call me so we can get
together for BBQ's, softball games, and so on.  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).
