                                      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 FALLEN TOWEL RACK, who flew up 12 points in the rankings after mashing 
KORILL SAI like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  Ya know, some days it doesn't 
pay to walk out on the sands.  LARKIN SAND was subdued by WARRIOR-MAGE and drops 11 
points.  Going for the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was TREES' 
FIR, who was turned away from the Duelmastership by IMAI.  An apple a day keeps the 
doctor away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay.   
     Here is other news that is of note.  And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't 
avoid BOOK OF THOMAS, please raise you hand.  Wow.  Does TROCAR really have that many 
liars?  For those of you who like math, try this one:  BOOK OF THOMAS + Weapons That 
go Boom = PLANET 9 + Avoid City.   
     Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day 
drinking to their memory.  Better tanked than dead!  Congrats to DILIAN HALLIE for 
revenging the death of hers teammate (but more importantly, feeding SYNTH a bit of 
dirt).  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.  Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian, 
but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.  Its been real, and its been fun, 
but it hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster

Imai -- I'm glad you won that.  I wouldn't want to have to write a column.  I don't 
think it would be the done thing for me to rant about the junk phone calls (six today 
so far) trying to foist stuff on me that I don't need. -- Larkin Sand, feeling put 
upon and insulted

Fallen Towel Rack -- You see?  I didn't need you at all. -- Small Tamer

Fir -- You gotta watch out, ma'am.  Your season of risk is coming up. -- Korill Sai

That warrior-mage is a wuss.  Probably a merchant of some kind, he won't make a living 
as a warrior and probably not as a mage. -- Dilian Hallie

Hump Day -- I like the gold filigree on your plates. -- Darrin Horrocks
