                                      SPY REPORT

     It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last 
week's fights.  Say good-bye to MIDDLE WAY 8, as they are pushed from the coveted top 
team spot by the INCARNATIONS stable.  It looks like the guys(?) at INCARNATIONS had 
a good week as they went 4-0-0 to put them in 1st place.  I guess steroids help!  
Unlike most arenas, SHACKLED PRIEST managed to get his challenge off against the 
16-14-0 VERN WULF.  It's a proud day for the MIDDLE WAY 8 stable, as their warrior, 
VERN WULF, ascended the Duelmaster's throne.  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.  And hey, 
kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid ASSASSIN NATION, please raise you hand.  Wow.  
Does FRATSFA really have that many liars?  Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch 
OTTO'S PARTS' act in the arena.  Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running 
from ASSASSIN NATION.  Well just about everybody wants a piece of TONIO SALAGAZA, who 
was this week's most challenged warrior.  In a touching display by a 'touched' 
warrior, SISTER STEEL went after TONIO SALAGAZA, who was higher by 22 points.  Well, 
when the dust settled, SISTER STEEL beat TONIO SALAGAZA.   
     Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day 
drinking to their memory.  Better tanked than dead!  Remember:  alliances are great, 
but try and take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens.   
     Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in FRATSFA have no 
sense of humor.  Or maybe that they were senseless.  Okay, so I may not be the 
world's best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.  And 
remember, you can pick your friends and you can pick your--(loud boos), oh, you've 
heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster
