SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in
ERINIKA. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid! We
now have a new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on. DARQUE WATERS now holds
the crown and they are betting they can keep it. Rising in the ranks like a loaf of
armored bread (okay, I admit it's corny) is TEABAG@NOLA 23.3, who swept up 14 places
in the ranks. Take a look at RED BLADES' act, as they have a 1-0-0 week and gain 12
places in the team ranking. Rising in the ranks like a loaf of armored bread (okay,
I admit it's corny) is SWORD HEROES 2, who swept up 15 places in the ranks. Take a
look at TEABOG@KAUAI25's act, as they have a 1-0-0 week and gain 27 places in the
team ranking. A seasoned team is steady in the lists. But to JUDGEMENT 24, which
fell to 33rd, it's what you soak in before going to the Dark Arena. What goes up,
must come down. Watch out ERINIKA! STARS!! may fall on you as it crushes past the
teams below it to fall on the 34th spot. Suffering under a 0-1-0 record and dropping
from 10th to 35th place were the JUDGEMENT 20. Keep trying! Hey everybody, watch
out for GLITTER BOMB, who flew up 18 points in the rankings after mashing HARAEL like
a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. And falling like a basher in the top ten was
LOOMPA, who dropped 12 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with
VETERAN MERCENARY. In front of all the crowds, SWANSEE took the Duelmaster's crown
for hers own. I give the bum two weeks. 4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the
body, so try and avoid aiming at that location.
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 SWORD HEROES 3? Big bad SWORD
HEROES 3. Big bad SWORD HEROES 3. ERINIKA's afraid of the big bad SWORD HEROES 3.
Tra la la la la! For those of you who like math, try this one: SWORD HEROES 3 +
Weapons That go Boom = DARQUE WATERS + Avoid City. And who is this THE POISON ANGER
you ask, with 51 points and a 9-7-0 record. Ooh, the tales I could tell!
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Knowing when to use the right
tactics at the proper time is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian,
but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. Its been fun, and I'm sure you
enjoyed it (boos). Now that I've got you worked up for Snide Clemens, I'll be
leaving-- The Unknown Spymaster
