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!. Hey everybody, watch out for MR BEEFY, who flew
up 18 points in the rankings after mashing YUMALESCA like a melon. Keep your eye on
this guy. And falling like a basher in the top ten was YUMALESCA, who dropped 11
points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with MR BEEFY. Our battling
duelmaster PAYNE has managed to hold the title, fending off JOSIE WALES' none too
subtle advances. Better luck next time, STREET WALKERS. 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 FORCES was most
avoided team this week? Well, knowing the personal hygiene of DARQUE FORCES'
warriors, I'm not surprised! And you guys like to boo me? Well, unsling your
rasberries, cause STREET WALKERS beats feet every time DARQUE FORCES smiles at them.
Try farming, eh? And who is this ROSELYN you ask, with 60 points and a 13-4-0
record. Ooh, the tales I could tell!
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Well, the arena is no place for
slow learners (and hopefully T.P.s) and NJORD demonstrated that very violently on
STORMWIND's body. Carrion Bird Heaven: STORMWIND was dispatched by NJORD (The true
definition of 'Street Pizza'). 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. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some tracks. Hasta la
bye-bye. (Loud choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown Spymaster
