SPY REPORT
So why do I have this bag over my head? Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and
I'm going to give you a spy report!. Hey everybody, watch out for PRONGS, who flew
up 11 points in the rankings after mashing VOLTO LEENI like a melon. Keep your eye
on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. DARQUE was
overcame by GUARDSMAN TAN and drops 10 points. Well here's a duelmaster that doesn't
sit back and say 'Challenge me'! SAMARIUM made a TV challenge against TABATAN this
week. Well, everybody's pal SAMARIUM moved his record to 14-4-1 by defeating TABATAN
in the Duelmaster's Title Bout and gaining 9 recognition points. 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!
And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid I AM SAM, please raise you hand.
Wow. Does JADE MOUNTAIN really have that many liars? Okay, so I may not be funny,
but catch DARK TOADS' act in the arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at
running from I AM SAM. Well just about everybody wants a piece of VOLTO LEENI, who
was this week's most challenged warrior. In a touching display by a 'touched'
warrior, VERN went after WORMTAIL, who was higher by 24 points. Well, when the dust
settled, VERN lost to WORMTAIL. SAMOSET of I AM SAM had better have a good reason
for challenging down 11 points in a challenge which he won. I thought SAMOSET showed
great skill and promise when he beat TREENVA TARAL. All right, so I slept through
it! Big deal!
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.
Well, there's the manager of the JADE MOUNTAIN 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

ATTENTION ALL YOU ALLIANCE-TYPE PEOPLE:
For the purposes of tourney newsletter alliance listings (when I am able to do them),
you may only be listed in ONE alliance. In other words, you have to choose! If you
are a part of Englebert's Alliance and Englebert's Alliance is "part" of Ruthrauf's
Alliance, I will list you EITHER as part of Englebert's Alliance OR as part of
Ruthrauf's Alliance, NOT both. The default would be the top-level alliance,
Ruthrauf's, in this example. If you'd rather be listed separately, let me know and I
will do so, but that will be the only listing you get. -- The Saint, keeper of ever-
more-complicated lists

The Company of Brothers (TCB) welcomes two new members to our alliance...Liam the
Goth and Buddy Lee. We have no doubt that they will prove to be assets to our
alliance and the general dueling community. -- Baphomet, co-founder, T.C.B.
