                                      SPY REPORT

     Thankyouthankyou.  It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in 
KATI-TEI.  Hope you enjoy the show.  Oh, who am I kidding?  I already got paid!  Say 
good-bye to WANDERERS, as they are pushed from the coveted top team spot by the LAZY 
SUNDAY stable.  Hey everybody, watch out for VENOM DECAY, who flew up 16 points in 
the rankings after mashing POLITE BEGGAR like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  
And falling like a basher in the top ten was HARVESTER, who dropped 10 points after a 
disappointing (to say the least) bout with PARNS.  It's a proud day for the HELPLESS 
ANIMALS stable, as their warrior, YELLOW BRICK TOAD, ascended the Duelmaster's 
throne.  Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd!   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the KATI-TEI arena.   
     Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day 
drinking to their memory.  Better tanked than dead!  This week 14-9-0 DOUBLE TRUE was 
sent to the Dark Arena.  I know a lot of fighters with similar records who might take 
notice of this.  There's got to be more reason for the sending of DOUBLE TRUE to the 
Dark Arena than his record (14-9-0).  Anybody got any ideas LAZY SUNDAY?  SERGEANT 8 
says to his dog--'Who should I fight this week?'.  Dog says 'DARK CHAMPION'.  So the 
guy dies.  Moral?  Put lying dogs to sleep.  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 KATI-TEI 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.  Its been 
real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster

Our congratulations to Double True. -- Jorja and the Wanderers

Wings -- I am NOT a latent golem, you're just SAYING that.  Do you think that's going
to make me feel all warm and fuzzy?  Got news for you, us GOLEMS don't DO warm and
fuzzy. -- the Dutchman

Two-three today, and Dusty is leaving us, the fink. -- Wings in Sunlight

Double True -- FALSE! -- Dusty Miller

The Hamiltons -- Ganging up on me. -- Wings in Sunlight

Warrior Pizza -- What, Battle Bread?  Or just a (successful) attempt to get me
hobbled by the leash, because dogs are WILD about pizza? -- Walking the Dog

No orc is going to come visit ME.  Let him eat pizza! -- Harvester

Crazy Delicious -- I was unable to appreciate you properly, because I'm a golem and
we don't recognize "delicious."  Unfortunately.  I'm sure you are, the topping of
whipped cream with curls of bitter chocolate and whiskers of orange peel would have
tempted me mightily if I'd been human. -- the Dutchman, trying not to drool

DOUBLE TRUE (41-4585) LAZY SUNDAY (411)

                        WINTER FACE-TO-FACE IN SUNNY ARIZONA!

Our next winter FTF will be held in Tempe, Arizona, January 16-18, 2015.  It will be 
held at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Tempe, Arizona (480-897-7444), the same hotel as 
last year by popular request.  Room rates are $149.00 per night, 1-2 occupancy, which 
includes full cooked breakfast, complimentary manager's reception, free airport 
shuttle, free parking and free high speed internet.  There's a fitness center, 
jacuzzi, and pool.  The rooms are blocked--code RSI.

Please make your reservations now if you plan to go.  This is prime season for 
Phoenix, and this year will be crazy:  the Superbowl, Phoenix Open, auto auction, PF 
Chang's Marathon, and more are all during that time.  The hotel will be filling up 
quickly and I won't be able to add rooms to the block after they are full.  So please 
book your room now -- if you can't make it you can cancel your reservation, but we 
hope you do!

Look for the tournament info sheet and minioverviews some time in December.  We hope 
you're all looking forward to it and that we will see you there!
