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. A stormcloud is brewing over the FEARSOME LEGENDS guildhouse. Rumor says any more weeks like this ones 1-3-0 may send the team to the Dark Arena. ANCIENT KNIGHTS is no joke as it posted a 3-1-0 week advancing from 2nd place to 3rd place. Leg lag? Cart sickness? Poor fare at inns on the way to DRAGONHEAD? Whatever the cause, X-POSSE will no doubt improve on their record. Hey everybody, watch out for CHUNKY MONKEY, who flew up 29 points in the rankings after mashing ARDASHIN like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. VENTALEN was defeated by TINY TURK and drops 19 points. Drawing on all of hers experience as a 7-2-0 warrior, EVE went for the Duelmastership against CADELL this week. In front of all the crowds, EVE took the Duelmaster's crown for hers own. I give the bum two weeks. Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd! But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle! Here's a song for you: Who's afraid of the big, bad FREELANCERS? Big bad FREELANCERS. Big bad FREELANCERS. DRAGONHEAD's afraid of the big bad FREELANCERS. Tra la la la la! And you guys like to boo me? Well, unsling your rasberries, cause FEARSOME LEGENDS beats feet every time FREELANCERS smiles at them. Try farming, eh? Well just about everybody wants a piece of WILLDRAS, who was this week's most challenged warrior. Can any one out there say 'weasel'? Oh well, just saying PIERCE-007 will do. He challenged 25 points down to trash WILLDRAS. Definition of petty: PIERCE-007 bested WILLDRAS, a mismatch of 25 points. 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 DRAGONHEAD giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that 'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some tracks. Its been real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME EVE 4596 8 2 0 116 DARQUE FORCES (509) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -SOROKAN 5416 16 5 0 108 CRIMSON KILLERS (587) -CATER PILLAR 2304 10 0 2 104 VERMIN (165) JARRAC 5294 16 11 2 98 FREELANCERS (576) ANDRO MEDA 4550 17 6 1 92 FEARSOME LEGENDS (505) CADELL 4755 14 5 0 91 THE OCTAVIANS (515) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME 2 PHAT TOO 5063 10 4 1 80 VERMIN (165) CONSTANTINE 5361 7 3 1 72 AGELESS WONDER (584) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME PIERCE-007 4862 7 3 1 72 DEATH-N-HONOR (530) -FAITH 4760 8 8 2 68 THE OCTAVIANS (515) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BLAZE REGICIDE 1861 7 9 0 66 JUSTICE OF STEEL (173) -GEORGE DELK 5246 12 6 0 65 CRIME WAVE (572) -ARSENIC HAMMER 4288 6 5 2 64 DEADLY HAMMERZ (482) 2 PHAT 5064 9 2 0 63 VERMIN (165) TINY TURK 4581 7 10 2 59 ANCIENT KNIGHTS (507) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DUNAUT 5367 7 5 0 52 AGELESS WONDER (584) -VIPER 4759 6 5 1 49 THE OCTAVIANS (515) -CYANIDE HAMMER 4289 8 2 0 48 DEADLY HAMMERZ (482) ATOMIC PUNK 2 5344 4 3 0 48 ROCKERS OF RAGE (583) -D-BRAUN 4865 7 1 0 46 DEATH-N-HONOR (530) HAFGAN 5355 6 5 1 46 AGELESS WONDER (584) VENTALEN 5288 11 6 1 45 FREELANCERS (576) -SNIVELL 9 5382 10 8 0 45 SNIVELLS (585) LORD EARL GREY 4546 7 8 1 44 FEARSOME LEGENDS (505) -AR'WITMAN 5074 4 0 1 43 5 - AMIGOS II (551) EAGLE KEYS 4585 6 11 0 41 ANCIENT KNIGHTS (507) CHUNKY MONKEY 5394 2 0 0 40 NIGHTMARE LOGIC (586) THE BAKER 4548 9 9 1 37 FEARSOME LEGENDS (505) WILLDRAS 5282 6 1 0 36 FREELANCERS (576) ANDERON 5260 4 3 0 36 FEARSOME LEGENDS (505) -BANDIT 5040 4 7 1 34 HOG WARS (546) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -BETTY BOO 5378 4 2 0 33 SNIVELLS (585) -LARRY LAMPSHADE 5396 3 0 0 33 NIGHTMARE LOGIC (586) -SUPERSWINE 5036 3 1 0 33 HOG WARS (546) -IRON SIDE 5149 1 0 1 33 IRON EYES (560) -GRAVE DIGGER 5239 4 2 0 31 CRIME WAVE (572) -FOXGLOVE HAMMER 4366 4 4 0 30 DEADLY HAMMERZ (482) ARDASHIN 4583 6 11 0 29 ANCIENT KNIGHTS (507) BIG D 4860 5 3 0 29 DEATH-N-HONOR (530) BAD ATTITUDE 5411 3 2 0 28 CRIMSON KILLERS (587) -KEIS MIAZ 4757 2 3 0 27 THE OCTAVIANS (515) -BANSHI 5072 3 1 0 26 5 - AMIGOS II (551) -33/5 5113 4 3 0 25 SCUM 101 (556) -WYNDSTORM 4599 2 2 1 25 DARQUE FORCES (509) -AHZAZY 5120 1 1 0 24 R.A.G.E.

Such an epic demands a sequel. Therefore, Master Darque and Jack Wolfspider are pleased to announce the return of the Stormcrowe Slaughterhouse. Where? Stormcrowe DM 45 (slow). When? The Slaughterhouse returns on Turn 207, due August 19. How can you get into the action? Bring a team (one per entrant please) to arena 45 and announce your intention to join the contest in the Personals. Rules: This time around the rules are very simple. Each warrior win against a higher rated opponent (one or more points higher in the ratings) brings you 10 points, against even rated opponent 7 points, lower rated 5 points. Wins against NPCs or by a warrior who downchallenges are worth 0 points. Points are doubled for kills. All warriors in the arena whether participating in the Slaughterhouse or not are fair game. Points are totaled weekly, and the contestant whose team has racked up the most points at the end of 10 turns is declared Slaughterhouse Champion. Prizes: To be announced; we're still talking with RSI about it. Figure it will be something pretty good. But hey, who needs prizes when the honor of being Slaughterhouse Champion awaits! More info: Master Darque, MasterDarqueDM@aol.com, or Jack Wolfspider, russtulp@aol.com. Or diplo Darque Forces (428) or Dynastic (433) in Arena 45. 26 June 2003 All -- Would you be willing to proxy my lunger Ganglare at the Face-to-Face? He's fighting in the champions tourney. Thanks.
