                                      SPY REPORT

     Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills?  Well 
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for DRAGONHEAD.  FEARSOME LEGENDS like really 
fought hard to move up to 2nd from 5th.  Way to go!  MVP award for SENTINEL-3?  
X-POSSE's proud of him after beating MR. FUNNYPANTS and getting 18 points.  Talk 
about yer big time losers!  MR. FUNNYPANTS got smashed by SENTINEL-3, and lost 13 
points!  This Duelmaster is like something else!  ORPHAN stopped LORD EARL GREY dead 
in his tracks!  Who was the wiseguy that said DRAGONHEAD's Duelmaster was paying for 
drinks at The Swinging Aardvark?  Don't look at me!   
     Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right?  The warriors of MOVIE HAMMERZ must 
be getting lonely.  They were the most avoided team.  Do you guys know something that 
I don't?  I don't know what FEARSOME LEGENDS' been doing.  They certainly haven't 
been accepting many fights from MOVIE HAMMERZ, that's fer sher.   
     Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other!  Don't you guys ever give 
it a break?  Everyone has problems, but why did SACRED REALM send NARSUS to the Dark 
Arena?  He had a 2-0-0, and I thought he looked neat on the sands...  What if they 
had a fight and nobody showed up?  I'd be out of a job, that's what!!!   
     I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid.  Who would've guessed I'd be 
a famous Spyreporter?  I gotta leave.  DRAGONHEAD is like such a dump, and you guys 
smell too much!  Remember you guys, ease up sometimes!  Chill out!  Later, Debby 
Tonte

Battle Royal 4
     The Battle Royal arena contests are one of the purest tests of manager skill
available. The rules are simple.  The scoring is simple.  The updates are live.  If
you would like to participate, simply get a team ready in Talcama in the next month
and announce in the personals that you're in.  The prize is bragging rights and
having your name along side previous winners (Doc Steele, Manray Frothingslosh, and
Manager).  It is a brutal contest, but it is a lot of fun!
     Basic rules:  No avoiding other contest teams.  Score = Wins + Kills - Losses.
Only fights against other BR teams count.  First team to 25 wins!
     BR4 begins in Talcama (DM 18) on turn 502, due on Jan 29, 2005.
     Visit http://www.geocities.com/assurnasir/br4 for more information.
