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!. Coming up with a solid 2-0-0 outing, DUCKS
UNLIMITED has advanced 3 places in the rankings. Try as hard as the BOOK OF THOMAS
stable might, they were unable to find their warrior (and ex-Duelmaster) TAKIDOR
before this week's fights. It's a proud day for the DUCKS UNLIMITED stable, as their
warrior, DUCK DUCK GOOSE, ascended the Duelmaster's throne. Can you believe they are
paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff?
Here is other news that is of note. Did you hear that DARQUE ANGELS was most
avoided team this week? Well, knowing the personal hygiene of DARQUE ANGELS'
warriors, I'm not surprised! Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch BASH BROS BABY's
act in the arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from DARQUE
ANGELS. Well just about everybody wants a piece of YENTAL ZEEVE, who was this week's
most challenged warrior. In a touching display by a 'touched' warrior, DARKWING DUCK
went after YENTAL ZEEVE, who was higher by 18 points. Well, when the dust settled,
DARKWING DUCK overcame YENTAL ZEEVE.
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.
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian,
but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. Its been real, and its been fun,
but it hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster

The following warriors have traveled to AD after fighting this turn:
TAKIDOR (39-4314) BOOK OF THOMAS (479)
NAME CHANGE-O-RAMA
The gladiator known as Pretty in Pink Johnson came into the guildhouse in a
state of excitement that sat oddly on his large battered face. "There are goats on
the lawn outside the Commission office!"
His teammate Slinky Silver raised a languid eyebrow. "So?"
"That means a name-change coming! I can finally change my name to Pinkerton and
get some respect!"
"As badly as you fight, who will respect you?" his teammate asked.
"With a new name, I will fight better, just wait, you'll see. Because I will
respect myself!"
Slinky shook his head. "Circular reasoning won't help. You need more
managerial attention."
"If my name isn't embarrassing, I'll GET more attention.
Slinky shook his head again. "You're expecting a lot of a couple of goats that
may have been hired to manage the landscaping."
