                                      SPY REPORT

     Thankyouthankyou.  It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in DWES 
EG.  Hope you enjoy the show.  Oh, who am I kidding?  I already got paid!  Rising in 
the ranks like a loaf of armored bread (okay, I admit it's corny) is BLOODHAMMER 
CLAN, who swept up 21 places in the ranks.  Take a look at TWISTED OAK's act, as they 
have a 1-0-0 week and gain 22 places in the team ranking.  Rising in the ranks like a 
loaf of armored bread (okay, I admit it's corny) is I LOATHE THEM, who swept up 33 
places in the ranks.  Take a look at SWASHBUCKLERS' act, as they have a 1-0-0 week 
and gain 33 places in the team ranking.  Suffering under a 0-1-0 record and dropping 
from 10th to 31st place were the KNIGHTS OF GLORY.  Keep trying!  A seasoned team is 
steady in the lists.  But to STONED ROOKIES 55, which fell to 34th, it's what you 
soak in before going to the Dark Arena.  Rising in the ranks like a loaf of armored 
bread (okay, I admit it's corny) is ROOKIE MAIDEN 4, who swept up 13 places in the 
ranks.  What goes up, must come down.  Watch out DWES EG!  SCARLET CHAPEL may fall on 
you as it crushes past the teams below it to fall on the 38th spot.  Suffering under 
a 0-1-0 record and dropping from 34th to 46th place were the EXQUISITE CORPS B3.  
Keep trying!  A seasoned team is steady in the lists.  But to SEXIE, which fell to 
48th, it's what you soak in before going to the Dark Arena.  Hey everybody, watch out 
for WARHAWK, who flew up 34 points in the rankings after mashing ARCANUM like a 
melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on 
the sands.  THE BEACH BOMB was overcame by HILDA and drops 23 points.  The most 
challenged warrior this week was NEELIX BEFORE ZOD!.  If this keeps up, our 
Duelmaster's going to need more avoids!  PROTON AGONIZER got through to the 
Duelmaster this turn.  No doubt he was more than anxious to kick NEELIX BEFORE ZOD!'s 
tail out of the throne!  Well, everybody's pal NEELIX BEFORE ZOD! moved his record to 
17-16-0 by defeating PROTON AGONIZER in the Duelmaster's Title Bout and gaining 14 
recognition points.  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 DWES EG arena.  Was it 
guts or an overtaxed mental capacity that had DEVIL RABBIT challenge up 28 points in 
the rankings to take on THUNDERCLAP?  A Carrion Bird Sellout:  DEVIL RABBIT 1-2-0 
fights THUNDERCLAP 7-6-0.  (BYOB) In a touching display by a 'touched' warrior, SEVEN 
OF NEIN went after OSPREY, who was higher by 21 points.  Well, when the dust settled, 
SEVEN OF NEIN beat OSPREY.   
     Death is kind of like a new puppy:  he's always around wanting to play.  (Ha 
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?).  Here's some advice:  warriors with little 
wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.   
     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
