                                      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.  Say good-bye 
to MEAT YOUR MAKER, as they are pushed from the coveted top team spot by the 
MILCHAMAH stable.  Coming up with a solid 4-1-0 outing, BARBARIAN HORDE has advanced 
6 places in the rankings.  Advancing in the rankings was MILCHAMAH who went from last 
turn's 188-242-18, to this week's record of 192-243-19.  Hey everybody, watch out for 
SOURDOUGH, who flew up 19 points in the rankings after mashing CYOLIS like a melon.  
Keep your eye on this guy.  And falling like a basher in the top ten was CYOLIS, who 
dropped 15 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with SOURDOUGH.  In 
front of all the crowds, EAGLE KEYS took the Duelmaster's crown for his own.  I give 
the bum two weeks.  An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps 
T.P.s at bay.   
     Here is other news that is of note.  Did you hear that SPORTS CRIP PLAYS was 
most avoided team this week?  Well, knowing the personal hygiene of SPORTS CRIP 
PLAYS' warriors, I'm not surprised!  And you guys like to boo me?  Well, unsling your 
rasberries, cause SACRED REALM beats feet every time SPORTS CRIP PLAYS smiles at 
them.  Try farming, eh?  And who is this MEGINNAW'S RULE you ask, with 61 points and 
a 13-10-0 record.  Ooh, the tales I could tell!   
     Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the 
most interesting, though!  Well, just when you thought it was safe to put a new 
warrior in the arena.  No no!  AKIRA, a mere boy, was slain by MADKAWRAW'S LAW this 
turn.  Here's some advice:  warriors with little wit and will may encounter problems 
on the trail to the Isle.   
     Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in DRAGONHEAD have no 
sense of humor.  Or maybe that they were senseless.  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

A few notes about e-mailed personals:

You may submit personal ads, columns, spotlights, etc. electronically, either via e-
mail to ads at reality dot com (which doesn't need any more spam, thank you) or on
the web at http://www.reality.com/duel2/modules.php?name=Ads.  When you submit
something, you should get back a receipt from HAL at RSI.  If you do NOT get a
receipt, your ads may have gone astray (not all e-mail makes it to its destination
any more than all snail mail does).  If you DO get a receipt, it should, in the body
of the message, tell you what arena your stuff was filed in.  Check your receipt to
make sure your submission made it to the intended destination.  Also check to see
that everything you sent made it to the same place.  Sometimes HAL, who is rather
simple-minded in some ways, will send half your stuff to another arena if the name
or number of that arena shows up at the beginning of a line.  So if the word Ti
appears at the beginning of a line halfway through your ads, all the ads after that
may end up in Ti, which is closed and doesn't need ads.  As a side note, sometimes

things move slowly, so don't wait until the last minute to send your ads and all.
If they get held up along the way, they may not show up until next turn.  Happy
