                             Notes from the arena champ.

Ah, my appearance on the sands here took you by surprise, did I not, Jack McChow?  It 
took me by surprise, too.  I did not expect to find myself fighting again.  Oh, well.  
Perhaps I'll graduate soon.

                                      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.  Say good-bye 
to MAIDEN JAPAN, as they are pushed from the coveted top team spot by the BOOK OF 
THOMAS stable.  For every winner there is a loser.  Speaking of losers, lets take a 
look at MAIDEN JAPAN, who went down to 1st from 6th.  Life is tough.  Coming up with 
a solid 4-1-0 outing, LAW DOGS has advanced 4 places in the rankings.  Advancing in 
the rankings was BOOK OF THOMAS who went from last turn's 49-54-3, to this week's 
record of 52-55-3.  Hey everybody, watch out for PUGLICK DEFENDER, who flew up 16 
points in the rankings after mashing POLAR FLEECE like a melon.  Keep your eye on 
this gal.  Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.  POLAR FLEECE 
lost to PUGLICK DEFENDER and drops 10 points.  What does the Duelmaster and Piltdown 
Man have in common?  They are both the most challenged apes in human history!  
Heyheyhey!  Drawing on all of hers experience as a 20-22-1 warrior, WAR MAIDEN went 
for the Duelmastership against SEAL DANCER this week.  In front of all the crowds, 
WAR MAIDEN took the Duelmaster's crown for hers own.  I give the bum two weeks.  4 
out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at that 
location.   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the NIGHT SLAUGHTERTON arena. 
Here's a song for you:  Who's afraid of the big, bad BOOK  OF THOMAS?  Big bad BOOK 
OF THOMAS.  Big bad BOOK OF THOMAS.  NIGHT SLAUGHTERTON's afraid of the big bad BOOK 
OF THOMAS.  Tra la la la la!  For those of you who like math, try this one:  BOOK OF 
THOMAS + Weapons That go Boom = LAW DOGS + Avoid City.  In a touching display by a 
'touched' warrior, AMMOZON went after CLAWRENCE DARROW, who was higher by 18 points.  
Well, when the dust settled, AMMOZON was overcame by CLAWRENCE DARROW.   
     Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day 
drinking to their memory.  Better tanked than dead!  SHARPER IMAGE defied all odds 
and slew NAUGHTY JANITOR in the Dark Arena.  The only ones displeased were the 
buzzards, as NAUGHTY JANITOR's meat is notoriously tough.  Knowing when to use the 
right tactics at the proper time is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.  
     Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in NIGHT SLAUGHTERTON 
have no sense of humor.  Or maybe that they were senseless.  Well, there goes another 
Spy Report.  Good luck in next week's fights.  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
