                                      SPY REPORT

     It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report.  Sit 
back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis.  We now have a 
new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on.  BOOK OF THOMAS now holds the crown 
and they are betting they can keep it.  Coming up with a solid 4-1-0 outing, DARQUE 
ANGELS has advanced 3 places in the rankings.  BASH BROS BABY is no joke as it posted 
a 3-1-0 week advancing from 5th place to 4th place.  Hey everybody, watch out for ZOE 
ALBETA, who flew up 20 points in the rankings after mashing DUCK DUCK GOOSE like a 
melon.  Keep your eye on this gal.  And falling like a basher in the top ten was DUCK 
DUCK GOOSE, who dropped 13 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with 
ZOE ALBETA.  Well here's a duelmaster that doesn't sit back and say 'Challenge me'!  
DUCK OF DOOM made a Dark Arena Challenge against RIVER SPIRIT this week.  The crowds 
were amazed this turn, as RIVER SPIRIT killed the Duelmaster, DUCK OF DOOM, leaving 
DUCKS UNLIMITED in mourning.  This incredible death has allowed, I might add, ZAQIEL 
from DARQUE ANGELS to ascend to the throne of Duelmaster, and I hear DARK ARENA is 
not happy.  Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd!   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the XOCHITHLAN arena.  Did 
you hear that DUCKS UNLIMITED was most avoided team this week?  Well, knowing the 
personal hygiene of DUCKS UNLIMITED's warriors, I'm not surprised!  Okay, so I may 
not be funny, but catch DARQUE ANGELS' act in the arena.  Those acrobats seem to be 
fairly deft at running from DUCKS UNLIMITED.  And who is this SICKNESS you ask, with 
102 points and a 26-13-0 record.  Ooh, the tales I could tell!   
     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 XOCHITHLAN have no 
sense of humor.  Or maybe that they were senseless.  Okay, so I may not be the 
world's best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.  See ya 
next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster
