Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and I'm going to give you a spy report!. Hey everybody, watch out for LOFTIS, who flew up 20 points in the rankings after mashing MAD MAXINE like a melon. Keep your eye on this beast. And falling like a basher in the top ten was MAD MAXINE, who dropped 17 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with LOFTIS. Well here's a duelmaster that doesn't sit back and say 'Challenge me'! THAK BONESNAP made a challenge against DANNY BOY this week. Going for the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was FOOT OF PRIDE's DANNY BOY, who was turned away from the Duelmastership by THAK BONESNAP. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay. 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 4-LETTER TUMS'? Big bad 4-LETTER TUMS'. Big bad 4-LETTER TUMS'. MURSKA's afraid of the big bad 4-LETTER TUMS'. Tra la la la la! For those of you who like math, try this one: 4-LETTER TUMS' + Weapons That go Boom = HOUSE JHEREG + Avoid City. Well dang howdy, but if challenges were votes, DANNY BOY would be president. Although it may be a contest he doesn't want to win. JENICOR of HOUSE JHEREG had better have a good reason for challenging down 9 points in a challenge which she lost. I thought JENICOR showed great skill and promise when she was subdued by WBTS. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal! Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). The audience likes blood and there was plenty of it covering MUTANT MAN as he was driven to an early grave by HARV of the 4-LETTER TUMS'. 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. Its been real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME THAK BONESNAP 4392 12 2 1 187 BATTLEAXE STAMPEDE (395) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME FIXED DRINK 4529 16 2 0 114 FOOT OF PRIDE (396) KATHANA 3553 10 5 2 106 HOUSE JHEREG (42) DANNY BOY 4424 29 14 1 102 FOOT OF PRIDE (396) AXAZOH 4134 10 2 1 97 SHINING PATH (379) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME TURNING BACK 4548 14 3 0 86 FOOT OF PRIDE (396) A MAN 4521 13 7 1 86 FOOT OF PRIDE (396) OISIN 4439 18 28 0 82 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) -FREAKAZOID 2784 12 7 1 81 HERO ALLIANCE (198) PALUG 4509 14 11 1 76 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME LOFTIS 4571 4 5 0 65 HOUSE JHEREG (42) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME PADRIAG 4556 7 10 1 56 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) VILMOS 4579 7 1 0 50 HOUSE JHEREG (42) CHALER 4572 8 4 0 49 HOUSE JHEREG (42) MAD MAXINE 2152 6 4 0 42 WEIRD STUDENTS (214) LITTLE TOMMY 4566 8 6 0 38 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME WBTS 4586 4 0 1 27 4-LETTER TUMS' (407) HARV 4587 3 1 1 26 4-LETTER TUMS' (407) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -PELIGRO 2846 4 3 0 22 HERO ALLIANCE (198) -NICHOLAS 2994 2 1 0 21 HERO ALLIANCE (198) DRAT 4588 3 1 0 18 4-LETTER TUMS' (407) JENICOR 4593 3 1 0 14 HOUSE JHEREG (42) PRICKLY PETE 4607 1 1 0 13 WEIRD STUDENTS (214) MARA KIERA 4600 1 2 0 10 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) SWEET SAMANTHA 4608 0 2 0 2 WEIRD STUDENTS (214) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ANGRY ANTHONY 4609 0 2 0 2 WEIRD STUDENTS (214) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

Best, Chaler Palug -- Well fought! Thanks for the learns. -- Loftis Turning Back -- Thought you had me. I suspect that same fight would wind up differently now that you've hit the gym. Hope I don't find out! -- Kat Mad Maxine -- Go away! -- House Jhereg Maxine -- I didn't see the arenamaster say "go." -- Vilmos Mara Kiera -- Close one! We worked our butts off, let's grab a drink! -- Jenicor e'Terics Chaler -- You and what army? I belong to a whole LEAGUE of gladiatorial Userous Merchants, and we SUPPORT each other. -- Connor the (Userous) Wine Merchant And Happy New Year. -- Children of Llyr Two-three, with one win being over a standby. Tedious of us, perhaps, but there it is, and even Jorja doesn't try to change us much. -- Oisin Chaler -- You just do that because you like to see me yelling, right? -- Padriag P.S. You'd better watch out, because one of these days I might forget myself and let out a true Great Shout, and then where would you be? A hundred miles behind yourself, that's where. Loftis -- The idea of golems annoys me. -- Palug Fixed Drink -- Stop DOING that! It isn't broken. -- Oisin Jenicor -- I don't blame you for feeling savage. I suppose the Commission clerks think it's FUNNY to peg your race as Shewish. That would've made ME savage, and I'm half a foot taller than you are. Honestly, these clerks! -- Mara Kiera LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS HACK was dealt death by STONE GOLEM in a 3 minute Dark Arena fight.
