                                      SPY REPORT

     Thankyouthankyou.  It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in 
FRATSFA.  Hope you enjoy the show.  Oh, who am I kidding?  I already got paid!  Hey 
everybody, watch out for VERN WULF, who flew up 17 points in the rankings after 
mashing SISTER STEEL like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  And falling like a 
basher in the top ten was TONIO SALAGAZA, who dropped 10 points after a disappointing 
(to say the least) bout with FORGED BISHOP.  Going for the gusto and coming up with 
aught but bloody knuckles was ASSASSIN NATION's MAYHEM, who was turned away from the 
Duelmastership by DELTA CYGNI.  4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, so 
try and avoid aiming at that location.   
     Here is other news that is of note.   
     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.   
     Well, there's the manager of the FRATSFA 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.  Hasta la bye-bye.  (Loud choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown 
Spymaster

Golly, we find it hard to believe that NO ONE from the Fratsfa Arena went to the 
tourney.  Of course, it was a Fool's Tourney, and there are no fools here, but still.
