                                      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.  Coming up with 
a solid 2-3-1 outing, EVERYTHING MAGIK has advanced 3 places in the rankings.  
Advancing in the rankings was MAIDEN JAPAN who went from last turn's 74-93-3, to this 
week's record of 77-93-3.  Hey everybody, watch out for ILL-MAGUS, who flew up 20 
points in the rankings after mashing TMM'S LEFT HAND like a melon.  Keep your eye on 
this guy.  And falling like a basher in the top ten was BEAST SUMMONER, who dropped 9 
points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with POISON IV.  It's a proud 
day for the YUPPIE HORDE stable, as their warrior, FOMO, ascended the Duelmaster's 
throne.  An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay. 
     But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!  
Did you hear that INTERNATIONAL was most avoided team this week?  Well, knowing the 
personal hygiene of INTERNATIONAL's warriors, I'm not surprised!  Okay, so I may not 
be funny, but catch EVERYTHING MAGIK's act in the arena.  Those acrobats seem to be 
fairly deft at running from INTERNATIONAL.  And who is this RUNNING FREE you ask, 
with 89 points and a 18-20-0 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?).  Knowing when to use the right tactics at 
the proper time is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.   
     Well, there's the manager of the NIGHT SLAUGHTERTON giving me the 'cut' sign (or 
is that 'They're going to strangle you in the alley?).  C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make 
some tracks.  Its been fun, and I'm sure you enjoyed it (boos).  Now that I've got 
you worked up for Snide Clemens, I'll be leaving-- The Unknown Spymaster
