                                      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!.  HAPPY FUN TIME is no joke as it posted a 3-0-1 
week advancing from 2nd place to 2nd place.  Hey everybody, watch out for DAN RATHER, 
who flew up 30 points in the rankings after mashing KAMA KAZI like a melon.  Keep 
your eye on this guy.  Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.  
KAMA KAZI was bested by DAN RATHER and drops 25 points.  Well, everybody's pal SMILE 
WAFFLE moved its record to 9-0-1 by defeating RAZZLE DAZZLE in the Duelmaster's Title 
Bout and gaining 36 recognition points.  Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold 
to deliver this stuff?   
     But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!  
Did you hear that LEGIONS OF HELL was most avoided team this week?  Well, knowing the 
personal hygiene of LEGIONS OF HELL's warriors, I'm not surprised!  For those of you 
who like math, try this one:  LEGIONS OF HELL + Weapons That go Boom = LEGIONS OF 
HELL + Avoid City.  Well just about everybody wants a piece of KARMEK FOX, who was 
this week's most challenged warrior.   
     Death is kind of like a new puppy:  he's always around wanting to play.  (Ha 
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?).  It's not often when you see a 13-3-1 
warrior like RAZZLE DAZZLE kick the bucket.  I wonder if BLITZKRIEG will recover from 
the blow.  Congrats to EL GUAPO for revenging the death of his teammate (but more 
importantly, feeding KARMEK FOX 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 MURSKA have no 
sense of humor.  Or maybe that they were senseless.  C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some 
tracks.  Its been fun, and I'm sure you enjoyed it (boos).  Now that I've got you 
worked up for Snide Clemens, I'll be leaving-- The Unknown Spymaster
