                                      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!.  A stormcloud is brewing over the ISLE OF SKYE 
guildhouse.  Rumor says any more weeks like this ones 0-0-0 may send the team to the 
Dark Arena.  Coming up with a solid 3-2-0 outing, THE EXPLORERS has advanced 4 places 
in the rankings.  Hey everybody, watch out for SHOO-CHA, who flew up 17 points in the 
rankings after mashing GLENN like a melon.  Keep your eye on this gal.  And falling 
like a basher in the top ten was BLIND BOY FULLER, who dropped 7 points after a 
disappointing (to say the least) bout with NEW RIFF.  Well, everybody's pal SOBER FOR 
7 DAYS moved his record to 14-5-1 by defeating FALSE IDLE in the Duelmaster's Title 
Bout and gaining 17 recognition points.  4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the 
body, so try and avoid aiming at that location.   
     Here is other news that is of note.  Here's a song for you:  Who's afraid of the 
big, bad HANGOVERS?  Big bad HANGOVERS.  Big bad HANGOVERS.  ILLIS' afraid of the big 
bad HANGOVERS.  Tra la la la la!  Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch BASHAHOLICS 
ANON's act in the arena.  Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from 
HANGOVERS.  Well dang howdy, but if challenges were votes, NEW RIFF would be 
president.  Although it may be a contest it doesn't want to win.   
     Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day 
drinking to their memory.  Better tanked than dead!  For those of you who missed it, 
Death showed up, grabbed FALSE IDLE by the ear and took him away to a place where he 
won't need a coat.  Big man!  SOBER FOR 7 DAYS kills FALSE IDLE.  Who ya gonna fight 
next, SOBER FOR 7 DAYS--Minnie Mouse?  I hope CHAPEL ROCK has a good enough fighter 
to beat the snot out of SOBER FOR 7 DAYS.  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.  C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some tracks.  Hasta la 
bye-bye.  (Loud choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown Spymaster
