                                      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!  We 
now have a new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on.  MIDDLE WAY 8 now holds 
the crown and they are betting they can keep it.  For every winner there is a loser.  
Speaking of losers, lets take a look at IRON CATHEDRAL, who went down to 1st from 
6th.  Life is tough.  Coming up with a solid 3-2-0 outing, ASSASSIN NATION has 
advanced 5 places in the rankings.  Advancing in the rankings was MIDDLE WAY 8 who 
went from last turn's 211-286-3, to this week's record of 215-287-3.  Hey everybody, 
watch out for VERN WULF, who flew up 19 points in the rankings after mashing KAPPA 
CYGNI like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  And falling like a basher in the top 
ten was KAPPA CYGNI, who dropped 15 points after a disappointing (to say the least) 
bout with VERN WULF.  Try as hard as the SILVER KNIGHTS stable might, they were 
unable to find their warrior (and ex-Duelmaster) SER ILYN PAYNE before this week's 
fights.  In front of all the crowds, TONIO SALAGAZA took the Duelmaster's crown for 
his own.  I give the bum two weeks.  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 FRATSFA arena.  Did you 
hear that ASSASSIN NATION was most avoided team this week?  Well, knowing the 
personal hygiene of ASSASSIN NATION's warriors, I'm not surprised!  For those of you 
who like math, try this one:  ASSASSIN NATION + Weapons That go Boom = IRON CATHEDRAL 
+ Avoid City.  Well just about everybody wants a piece of TONIO SALAGAZA, who was 
this week's most challenged warrior.  Was it guts or an overtaxed mental capacity 
that had SISTER STEEL challenge up 26 points in the rankings to take on DISLOCATED 
HIP?  This week SISTER STEEL 16-15-1 fought DISLOCATED HIP 16-5-0 and in losing 
gained 8 points.  I know several gladiators who could go for a few fights like that.  
     Death is kind of like a new puppy:  he's always around wanting to play.  (Ha 
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?).  Congrats to OUTRAGE for revenging the death 
of his teammate (but more importantly, feeding MENACING MIMOSA a bit of dirt).  
Here's some advice:  warriors with little wit and will may encounter problems on the 
trail to the Isle.   
     I think I had better cut this one short.  It's been nice chatting to those of 
you whom I have not offended yet.  Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian, 
but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.  See ya next time I'm on this 
circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster

Ser Ilyn Payne, Duelmaster! Has a ring to it. You know where to come and celebrate, 
Hon. You do, indeed. -- Lady Fern

Toker, it is so good to see you back in Fratsfa with your Silver Knights. All of you 
are always welcome at my Flower Shoppe. Bring Silver. (and gold) -- Lady Fern

Gee! Oh, no! I am so sorry to see Oblivion go. I didn't mean it. Really! Oblivion was 
so excited, and working so hard, and boom! Must have been a heart attack. Mea Culpa. 
-- Menacing Mimosa, Flower Girl

Tonio, well, you were all I could ask for! I feel quite sore today. -- Searing 
Sunflower, Flower Girl

Xavier Yang, come on now, Hon; you gotta last longer than that to get your money's 
worth. (wink) -- Deadly Daisy, Flower Girl

Health. Humility. Honor. Buy flowers. Kill the bad guys. Amen. -- Lady Fern

For some reason my ads did not run last turn.  Oh well...  It seems I have been remiss 
on my duties to write personal ads the last several turns.  I will commit to trying to 
do better going forward. -- Ghab, Assassin Nation

     No sign of them here, hmm. -- Ed

Vern Wulf -- A ice back and forth battle.  Just the way I like 'em, especially when I 
come out on the right side of the match.  Well fought! -- Tempest

Xavier Yang -- I have no idea how I even got here. I think city of origin was just a 
guess on my registration papers. -- Fury

St. Praxedes -- I felt compelled to revenge my fallen teammate. With that done, we can 
get about our lives (and sometimes deaths). -- Fury

Two Hands -- Thought I had you! Well fougth! -- Deceit

Off to become a ghost! -- Spectre

Menacing Mimosa -- Well that wasn't very nice! You likely saved us a lot of headache 
though. -- Assassin Nation

Tempest -- As fights go, allowing that I lost, it was a good one. -- Vern Wulf

Deadly Daisy -- You flattened me, Miss Brown Eyed Susan. -- Xavier Yang

Banded Acolyte -- Banded, how? -- Ferny Ross

Searing Sunflower -- It's the springtime, we're all ready for heat, or working on 
getting ready.  No searing allowed. -- Tonio Salagaza

Ser Galad -- I didn't GIVE you the edge in that fight, you TOOK it. -- Tennessee Smith
