                                      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 SPROUT OF MY WAY!, as they are pushed from the coveted top team spot by the SAND 
DANCERS stable.  Hey everybody, watch out for NICOLE, who flew up 20 points in the 
rankings after mashing JACK FARMER like a melon.  Keep your eye on this gal.  And 
falling like a basher in the top ten was KAREN HALE, who dropped 6 points after a 
disappointing (to say the least) bout with NITE HAMMER.  The most challenged warrior 
this week was DARWIN.  If this keeps up, our Duelmaster's going to need more avoids!  
It's a proud day for the SPROUT OF MY WAY! stable, as their warrior, MIGUEL, ascended 
the Duelmaster's throne.  Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger 
halberd!   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the DAYLA KIV arena.  Did you 
hear that SPROUT OF MY WAY! was most avoided team this week?  Well, knowing the 
personal hygiene of SPROUT OF MY WAY!'s warriors, I'm not surprised!  For those of 
you who like math, try this one:  SPROUT OF MY WAY! + Weapons That go Boom = A.W. OF 
GUMBALL + Avoid City.   
     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 DAYLA KIV giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that 
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?).  Okay, so I may not be the world's 
best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.  Its been real, 
and its been fun, but it hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster
