                                      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.  We now have a 
new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on.  STRIKER FORCE now holds the crown 
and they are betting they can keep it.  Hey everybody, watch out for MERCURY, who 
flew up 28 points in the rankings after mashing STIR IKE like a melon.  Keep your eye 
on this guy.  And falling like a basher in the top ten was STIR IKE, who dropped 34 
points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with MERCURY.  Going for the 
gusto and coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was STRIKER FORCE's BASHER FORCE, 
who was turned away from the Duelmastership by NADA NADS.  Can you believe they are 
paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff?   
     Here is other news that is of note.  And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't 
avoid STRIKER FORCE, please raise you hand.  Wow.  Does VALAMANTIS really have that 
many liars?  Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch CM - SCORPIO's act in the arena.  
Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from STRIKER FORCE.  Well dang 
howdy, but if challenges were votes, VENUS would be president.  Although it may be a 
contest she doesn't want to win.  In a mismatch, our friend ANANGRY9YEAROLD of 
GAMERTAGS got heroic notions and challenged VENUS.  What did it get him?  A 5-2-1 
record, that's what.  Trading many whacks on the head and a loss for 7 recognition 
points, ANANGRY9YEAROLD shows that a guy doesn't have to be good to get places.   
     Death is kind of like a new puppy:  he's always around wanting to play.  (Ha 
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?).  Remember:  alliances are great, but try and 
take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens.   
     Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in VALAMANTIS have no 
sense of humor.  Or maybe that they were senseless.  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
