SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in
VALAMANTIS. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid!
Hey everybody, watch out for BEARFACE, who flew up 16 points in the rankings after
mashing INVUR KREB like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it
doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. INVUR KREB was defeated by BEARFACE and drops
14 points. Our last turn's Duelmaster has lost, folks, lost to KUNG-FU MASTER, and
DEATH MAGE has made the way for a new Duelmaster! With DEATH MAGE clearing the
throne, THE BEARS of RUSSIAN BEAR takes a proud seat as VALAMANTIS' new Duelmaster,
by virtue of 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 DEATH MOB? Big bad DEATH MOB. Big bad DEATH MOB. VALAMANTIS' afraid of
the big bad DEATH MOB. Tra la la la la! For those of you who like math, try this
one: DEATH MOB + Weapons That go Boom = THE BEARS + Avoid City. Well just about
everybody wants a piece of IED, who was this week's most challenged warrior.
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 VALAMANTIS 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. Its been real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been
real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Bearface -- Euwh! No wonder you can't get a date, have you considered shaving? --
Gormoduc Irn
Chatti -- Damn. You turned that one around and held it steady. Damn. -- Chea Edel
Mastiff -- I knew there was some reason I didn't like big dogs. Now It's all clear:
big-time shedding. I bet the maintenance crew has a heck of a time getting the hair
combed out of the sand. -- Invur Kreb
Chicken Hawk -- Who told you that I was a chicken in my secret life? -- Isombard Korl
A Persistent Beggar? It hardly seems a career to encourage persistence. -- Evander
Gill
Our congratulations to 5 and Russian Bear, tourney victors in their respective
classes. -- Jorja and the Middle Way
31 May 2008
Any and all who live in the 805 area, I would like for you to call me so we can get
together for BBQ's, softball games, and so on. It has been a while since the last
get together (several years). It was a blast and I am sure the next one will be
also. We just have to do it. All alliances are welcome. Just because my warriors
leave your warrior beaten and bloody in defeat does not mean we can't have a beer or
five together. I'll even buy the first round. So call 805-588-3419 and ask for Dave
a.k.a. Misfit, former member of the Green and Purple Polka Dot Alliance (GAPPDA).
