SPY REPORT
So why do I have this bag over my head? Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and
I'm going to give you a spy report!. Hey everybody, watch out for G W BUSH, who flew
up 17 points in the rankings after mashing HAPPY DRUNKARD like a melon. Keep your
eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. HAPPY
DRUNKARD was defeated by G W BUSH and drops 14 points. Going for the gusto and
coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was ISLANDERS' BELITRIS, who was turned away
from the Duelmastership by APPLESEED. 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 ILLIS arena. Here's a
song for you: Who's afraid of the big, bad BLOODGUARD? Big bad BLOODGUARD. Big bad
BLOODGUARD. ILLIS' afraid of the big bad BLOODGUARD. Tra la la la la! For those of
you who like math, try this one: BLOODGUARD + Weapons That go Boom = IMPROVED
ILLUSION + Avoid City. Well dang howdy, but if challenges were votes, MAAZERUS would
be president. Although it may be a contest he doesn't want to win.
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! Well, the arena is no place for slow learners (and
hopefully T.P.s) and APPLESEED demonstrated that very violently on BELITRIS' body.
The audience likes blood and there was plenty of it covering TABBEK as he was driven
to an early grave by KING MIDAS of the TALL TALES. Carrion Bird Heaven: BELITRIS
was put to death by APPLESEED (The true definition of 'Street Pizza'). Congrats to
BANE OF BONES for revenging the death of his teammate (but more importantly, feeding
BRUTUS a bit of dirt). Here's some advice: warriors with little wit and will may
encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.
Well, there's the manager of the ILLIS giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). 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

PERSONAL ADS
Brandon Massingale -- Wooo weee! I almost had a heart attack watching our stars go
at it. I thought that Bane was a goner, too, the way it was going! Well, I'll not
lie, I'm afraid to see how the Bane of Bones/Brutus battle is going to go as it's
probably inevitable. Good luck, Brandon. No hard feelings, but Bane is too stupid
to hold back. Good luck to Brutus as well. -- Ravinkor, mgr. Paragons
All -- Who runs Improved Illusion? Tall Tales? Just curious. -- Ravinkor, mgr.
Paragons
Improved Illusion is Master Darque. Tall Tales is A-Sop.
Brutus -- Shoot! I knew you were going to win. I told the boss as much, but nooo,
he doesn't listen to me. Good fight, buddy. Ph, psst... look out, Bane said in our
dormitory that he was gonna smash you. Good luck... -- Molasses
Brutus -- BoB had fun with Indigo. She body now. You body soon. :) -- Bane of Bones
All -- BoB not like tourney. BoB sore all over. -- Bane of Bones
We are back for a few months! We really want our Bashaholics program to take off and
the only way to get the sponsors we need is through success on the sands. So here we
are again. -- Assur
personals for dm 59
Ravinkor -- With luck, there should be a diplo from me in this turn. -- Jorja
Happy Drunkard -- I'm glad someone is happy about that. I'm not. -- Dillis Rhin
Defeating a Kung-Fu Master is always satisfying. -- Belitris
P.S. And not even fattening.
Bann -- The weight of my experience crushed you down. Sometimes it crushes me, too.
-- Sylvester
Urmung Cosbu -- It sounds like you won't see many others around with your name. --
Coco Nuttal
Tabbek -- Correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't we done this before? -- Chagua Korbin
P.S. Not that I mind.
