                                      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.  Hey everybody, 
watch out for KAPPA CYGNI, who flew up 21 points in the rankings after mashing BANDED 
ACOLYTE like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  Ya know, some days it doesn't pay 
to walk out on the sands.  BANDED ACOLYTE was beat by KAPPA CYGNI and drops 15 
points.  Well here's a duelmaster that doesn't sit back and say 'Challenge me'!  
LACERATED TONGUE made a challenge against FORGED BISHOP this week.  Our battling 
duelmaster LACERATED TONGUE has managed to hold the title, fending off FORGED 
BISHOP's none too subtle advances.  Better luck next time, IRON CATHEDRAL.  Advice to 
bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd!   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the FRATSFA arena.  Did you 
hear that IRON CATHEDRAL was most avoided team this week?  Well, knowing the personal 
hygiene of IRON CATHEDRAL's warriors, I'm not surprised!  And you guys like to boo 
me?  Well, unsling your rasberries, cause OTTO'S PARTS beats feet every time IRON 
CATHEDRAL smiles at them.  Try farming, eh?  Well just about everybody wants a piece 
of TENNESSE SMITH, who was this week's most challenged warrior.   
     Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day 
drinking to their memory.  Better tanked than dead!  SEARING SUNFLOWER defied all 
odds and slew LAURENTS OF ARABIA in the Dark Arena.  The only ones displeased were 
the buzzards, as LAURENTS OF ARABIA's meat is notoriously tough.  Big deal, so 
HAUGHTY HOLLY got mashed in the Dark Arena.  With hers face she was more at home with 
the trolls than with us. (Waka waka).  We might as well mark the passing of RANCOR, 
who was relatively new to the arena at 3-2-0.  Probably killed before his first 
shave.  Yesterday I talked to the ASSASSIN NATION's manager and  BANDED ACOLYTE, 
slayer of MALEVOLENCE.  The manager:  'I think I can, I think I can'.  BANDED 
ACOLYTE:  'I already did'.  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.  Well, there goes another Spy Report.  Good luck in 
next week's fights.  See ya next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster

We salute the tourney participants. -- Middle Way

Our congratulations to the graduate Delta Cygni.  Is it just one of you, or your two 
or so associates, as well? -- the Middle Way

Two Hands -- I'm glad you aren't a two-handed fighter, though you ARE a two-handed 
student. -- Xavier Yang

Tempest -- YOU are the formidable foe in your bathtub.  That mirror deceives you into 
think there's someone else present. -- Vern Wulf

Dislocated Hip -- I'm glad you're not MY hip. -- Tennessee Smith

Forged Bishop -- You're a fake, a copy of a REAL bishop. -- Tonio Salagaza

Banded Acolyte -- Stripes do not become you. -- Ferny Ross

Warriors and Managers of Fratsfa -- Jorja here.  I *like* writing fiction for the 
newsletters, and I'm *going* to do it, whether you want to participate or not.  In the 
absence of any clues beyond the warrior and team names, I'm going to establish 
characters for the warriors we face and write about them.  Feel free to make comment.  
If you don't want your warriors involved, a statement to that effect in the newsletter 
will stop me.  If you want input but not to write a personal, send me a diplo, or ask 
CSR for my email address.  Your involvement would be welcome. -- Jorja

Dear Fratsfans, it has been so long since I last addressed you. (Or undressed you.) 
The deadly attack on The Flower Girls stable several years ago left me in a coma and 
several gals injured and unwilling to continue fighting.  Thanks to the hard work of 
my brother Lenpro's doctors and our senior brother Fandil The Wise's heal spells, I 
have returned to the active world. I am happy to be back and send kisses and hugs (And 
other things for the right price.) to one and all. -- Lady Fern, Manager of Flower 
Girls

All you honeybuns, please bear with me as I interview, train, and fill my stable of 
lovelies. You will be glad you did. (wink) -- Lady Fern

Lady Fern, Lady Fern, welcome back! We want to fight! (And wrestle and snuggle and 
make everyone happy.) -- Deadly Daisy and Hot Honeysuckle
