                                      SPY REPORT

     It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last 
week's fights.  Hey everybody, watch out for TAINTED SHUGENJA, who flew up 15 points 
in the rankings after mashing ALICE TINKER like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  
Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.  ALICE TINKER was beat by 
TAINTED SHUGENJA and drops 13 points.  Going for the gusto and coming up with aught 
but bloody knuckles was L5R PHOENIX CLAN's ISAWA TADAKA, who was turned away from the 
Duelmastership by COR CAROLI.  4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, so 
try and avoid aiming at that location.   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the LIN TIRIAN arena.  And 
hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid L5R PHOENIX CLAN, please raise you hand.  
Wow.  Does LIN TIRIAN really have that many liars?  And you guys like to boo me?  
Well, unsling your rasberries, cause PERRY COUNTY beats feet every time L5R PHOENIX 
CLAN smiles at them.  Try farming, eh?  Well just about everybody wants a piece of 
JUSTINE, who was this week's most challenged warrior.  Challenging down 24 points was 
SOLDIER 1.  Pretty soon he'll be using two shields and selling 'T.P.:  The only way 
to clean up' pins.  Definition of petty:  SOLDIER 1 defeated JUSTINE, a mismatch of 
24 points.  Getting lots of flowers from sympathetic fans was AVRIL HOUND, who was 
successfully challenged by ROLLO THORFIN who had a mere 34 points more than AVRIL 
HOUND.  Definition of petty:  ROLLO THORFIN defeated AVRIL HOUND, a mismatch of 34 
points.  Can any one out there say 'weasel'?  Oh well, just saying CANNELTON will do. 
It challenged 17 points down to trash PICKLED CAPERS.  Definition of petty:  
CANNELTON defeated PICKLED CAPERS, a mismatch of 17 points.   
     Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the 
most interesting, though!  Ask not the elves for counsel, for they will say both yes 
and no.  Silly buggers, eh?   
     Well, there's the manager of the LIN TIRIAN giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that 
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?).  Well, there goes another Spy Report.  
Good luck in next week's fights.  See ya next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown 
Spymaster
