                                      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 HELLPOP, who flew up 13 points in the rankings after mashing PEARL like 
a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  And falling like a basher in the top ten was 
PEARL, who dropped 8 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with 
HELLPOP.  Well, if ya don't shows up at the laundromat, ya can'ts wash yer clothes.  
SINCLAIR did not fight this week so his title was forfeit.  It's a proud day for the 
BASHAHOLICS ANON stable, as their warrior, HIGHER POWER, ascended the Duelmaster's 
throne.  Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd!   
     Here is other news that is of note.  And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't 
avoid IMPROVED ILLUSION, please raise you hand.  Wow.  Does ILLIS really have that 
many liars?  For those of you who like math, try this one:  IMPROVED ILLUSION + 
Weapons That go Boom = BASHAHOLICS ANON + Avoid City.   
     Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the 
most interesting, though!  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?).  Well, there goes another Spy Report.  
Good luck in next week's fights.  Hasta la bye-bye.  (Loud choruses of 'Beat it, ya 
bum!')-- The Unknown Spymaster
