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. Hey everybody,
watch out for JADE BELLE, who flew up 22 points in the rankings after mashing HOZHA
ODEMIS like a melon. Keep your eye on this gal. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay
to walk out on the sands. HOZHA ODEMIS was overcame by JADE BELLE and drops 20
points. Well here's a duelmaster that doesn't sit back and say 'Challenge me'!
GARTH made a challenge against ZAGWE BANSHEE this week. It's a proud day for the HUE
AND CRY stable, as their warrior, ZAGWE BANSHEE, ascended the Duelmaster's throne.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay.
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
Did you hear that DRAGONS KEEP was most avoided team this week? Well, knowing the
personal hygiene of DRAGONS KEEP's warriors, I'm not surprised! Okay, so I may not
be funny, but catch MANAGER MUSINGS' act in the arena. Those acrobats seem to be
fairly deft at running from DRAGONS KEEP. Well just about everybody wants a piece of
SERNILLAN, who was this week's most challenged warrior.
Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). Carrion Bird Cinematic Humor: ZELORAND II:
THE REMATCH. Remember: alliances are great, but try and take your ally in the arena
with you and see what happens.
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. See ya next time I'm on this
circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Zagwe -- Darque's head continues to be solidly attached to the body, but your puffed
up pumpkinhead is bright orange in embarrassment! -- Garth
Zagwe Banshee -- Pardon me for a moment while I tell you how little effort it took to
win that fight against you. And, by the way, I like your new jack-o-lantern look.
Orange befits you. -- Garth, Duelmaster
Sernillan -- Gee, I was really, really lucky--and better than I thought I would be.
-- Soultaker
Jagielio Damask -- Can I just call you Bud? Actually, I think I will just call you
Little Miss Priss--the loser. -- Mannequin
Ming-Chang The Sly -- Perhaps a more obviously aggressive methodology would have been
better employed against me? -- Slugbait
Jorja -- Are you sure you really want THOSE accolades? Perhaps you would better
appreciate a certificate? Please accept these two passes to the Jade Mountain fights
next round. I do, no matter what anyone says, appreciate your valiant efforts and
your many attendance awards. -- FTF Manager
Garth -- Wait, wait. I need a break. Round two coming up. -- Zagwe Banshee
Mannequin -- That back and forth stuff makes me dizzy. -- Jagielio Damask
Korto Lu -- Now you've been deflated too. Ha! -- Hozha Odemis
Jade Belle -- That works for me. -- Chamuscar
Zelorand -- Still undefeated and moving on up. Who's my next victem. -- Thia Arigo
Jaginru -- Yes, let's sneek away for a late supper. But we must be careful. Master
wouldn't approve. -- Thia Arigo
Soultaker -- (depressed sigh) It figures. -- Sernillan
Thia Arigo -- Huh. You hew and I cry, I guess. -- Zelorand
Chamuscar -- You're not a convincing liar, especially when you're still giggling. --
Jade Belle
Hozha Odemis -- I probably AM crazy, now that I think about it a little. -- Korto Lu
Ah! A standby allows me to get the team's only win. Cool! -- Jaginru
Jagiello Damask -- You're probably correct, but...what if I came out without armor?
It might be doing more good than I thought, and without it, I'd die! Not a chance I
care to take this month. -- Korto Lu
Hozha Odemis -- You saying I've got bugs? It isn't true! I am very clean. -- Jade
Belle
Chamuscar -- I hate it when he waits that LONG to stop the fight. -- Zelorand
Thia Arigo -- Good luck. You'll need it. -- Jaginru
