SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last
week's fights. Hey everybody, watch out for ALVIN, who flew up 14 points in the
rankings after mashing EMBEZZLING SCRIBE like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy.
And falling like a basher in the top ten was JOSEKI KO, who dropped 12 points after a
disappointing (to say the least) bout with GUS CANNON. Drawing on all of its
experience as a 10-1-0 warrior, RARE BREED went for the Duelmastership against WORD
ON THE STREET this week. It's a proud day for the 2215 BOURBON ST stable, as their
warrior, RARE BREED, ascended the Duelmaster's throne. 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 SNOWBOUND arena. Did you
hear that THE BLUES 50 was most avoided team this week? Well, knowing the personal
hygiene of THE BLUES 50's warriors, I'm not surprised! And you guys like to boo me?
Well, unsling your rasberries, cause OPEN SESAME beats feet every time THE BLUES 50
smiles at them. Try farming, eh? And who is this JACK DEATH you ask, with 27 points
and a 4-8-1 record. Ooh, the tales I could tell! Was it guts or an overtaxed mental
capacity that had MRS. NOODLE challenge up 26 points in the rankings to take on FLOYD
COUNCIL? I don't know about you, but when I saw MRS. NOODLE step out on the sands
with FLOYD COUNCIL, I though it was over before it started. Good upset MRS. NOODLE!
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! Remember: alliances are great, but try and take your ally
in the arena with you and see what happens.
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. See ya
next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster
