SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last
week's fights. Say good-bye to IRE OF BROGUE, as they are pushed from the coveted
top team spot by the DEVILED HAM stable. For every winner there is a loser.
Speaking of losers, lets take a look at IRE OF BROGUE, who went down to 1st from 6th.
Life is tough. Coming up with a solid 4-1-0 outing, DEVILED HAM has advanced 5
places in the rankings. CIV LEADERS is no joke as it posted a 3-0-0 week advancing
from 5th place to 5th place. Hey everybody, watch out for KING COREY, who flew up 22
points in the rankings after mashing NORILTENNE like a melon. Keep your eye on this
guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. SELINSIA lost to
VENOMOUS CONCUBINE and drops 18 points. Try as hard as the POSITIVE ALTERNATIVE
stable might, they were unable to find their warrior (and ex-Duelmaster) HAWK NELSON
before this week's fights. In front of all the crowds, J'KOROU took the Duelmaster's
crown for his own. I give the bum two weeks. Can you believe they are paying me 10
gold to deliver this stuff?
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the VEASTIAN arena. Did you
hear that DEVILED HAM was most avoided team this week? Well, knowing the personal
hygiene of DEVILED HAM's warriors, I'm not surprised! And you guys like to boo me?
Well, unsling your rasberries, cause DEVILED HAM beats feet every time DEVILED HAM
smiles at them. Try farming, eh? Well dang howdy, but if challenges were votes,
ELOWAN would be president. Although it may be a contest she doesn't want to win.
TAYLOR HAM of DEVILED HAM had better have a good reason for challenging down 11
points in a challenge which he won. I thought TAYLOR HAM showed great skill and
promise when he beat O'MEARA. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! In the 'Oops, What Have I Done?'
category, ELOWAN was mashed by SPAM, who let ELOWAN know that killing members of
DEVILED HAM is a no-no. Ask not the elves for counsel, for they will say both yes
and no. Silly buggers, eh?
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

PERSONAL ADS
Hawk Nelson -- For some reason, I feel like a rabbit that has been swooped on by a
hawk. Not a pleasant feeling at all, though I do congratulate you, if I have not
already, on having a TV challenge to use. Your stamina is impressive. -- Sjordhal
P.S. I considered going the "more armor" route and figured that if I did, I wouldn't
be able to move at all (my strength is relatively low), which seemed undesirable. I
figure if I'm going to lose anyway, I might as well be making an effort. Or
something like that. I've known people to favor the reverse: if they're going to
lose anyway, why bother? But...nah. I may be prone to run-on personals, but I'm not
a complete slug.
Jeremy Camp -- Your alternative did not seem to me to be all that positive. What's
the negative option? Maybe I should try that. -- J'Korou, resisting the run-on
personal
David Crowder -- For a golem, you learn well. Or is "learning well" built into your
golem mandate? Whatever. I'm out of here, and glad of it. -- Selinsia
Krystal Meyers -- The question inevitably arises, "alternative to what?" Inquiring
minds and all that. For instance, is your manager yoked to a virago, that you seem
such a positive alternative? Or, you know, what? We really wonder about this stuff.
-- Noriltenne
P.S. Hey, so it's small beans. If this is what's going on in our lives, of COURSE
we wonder about it. Who's likely to get any satisfaction out of wondering about the
Great Mysteries (Where did we come from? Why are we here? What happens next),
because there's never any real hope for an answer.
Oscar Meyer -- Ah, and there's Potted Meat Food Product, too. -- Bitt Betro
P.S. Garlic helps.
Morning star, high, very low? That's...interesting. And would probably have gotten
me killed early on if I'd tried it. -- Selinsia
Ayeisha Woods -- Tasty, very tasty. Any more of you around? -- Wurm Kin
Leo Powers -- You're joking, right? --Kyndrig the Innocent, falsely Convicted
Assassin
Blood Sausage -- Phew. You should join the team Why Sell This? -- Tulenj, a scribe,
not a mathematician
Soldier Uno -- Talk about yer mismatches! That be a right low blow killin one o' me
young ones. Still, even a blind squirrel gets a nut once in a while. -- Owsly mgr.
Ire of Brogue
Any else notice Porky bein' butchered by a black orc?! Mmmm, ye know he was thinkin'
good eatin'! -- Owsly
So much ham to choose from! What a buffet! Deviled ham the other white meat?!? --
Owsly
