SPY REPORT It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last week's fights. We now have a new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on. OLDIES now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep it. Coming up with a solid 4-1-0 outing, OLLIS HEROES has advanced 3 places in the rankings. Hey everybody, watch out for YODA, who flew up 24 points in the rankings after mashing SANGER like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. SANGER was beat by YODA and drops 20 points. In front of all the crowds, VODI took the Duelmaster's crown for his own. I give the bum two weeks. Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd! Here is other news that is of note. Did you hear that OLLIS HEROES was most avoided team this week? Well, knowing the personal hygiene of OLLIS HEROES' warriors, I'm not surprised! Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch OLDIES' act in the arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from OLLIS HEROES. Well just about everybody wants a piece of MORIS NAHR, who was this week's most challenged warrior. Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! 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. Well, there goes another Spy Report. Good luck in next week's fights. 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 DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME VODI 158 23 25 1 129 OLLIS HEROES (27) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME CRACKER JACKS 303 11 10 1 106 OLDIES (5) BERTHOLD 314 19 8 2 98 SUDDENLY, THE VAN (41) SVEN 309 16 11 0 94 SUDDENLY, THE VAN (41) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME YODA 274 11 16 0 90 OLLIS HEROES (27) MORIS NAHR 291 21 20 1 84 MIDDLE WAY 21 (40) SAM TALL 293 18 23 0 78 MIDDLE WAY 21 (40) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SANGER 315 17 10 0 66 SUDDENLY, THE VAN (41) ERIC 311 8 9 0 66 SUDDENLY, THE VAN (41) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME CONTRACT BRIDGE 308 11 6 1 54 OLDIES (5) LIFE SCOUT 316 11 5 0 42 OLDIES (5) ROSANA SABEL 326 5 6 0 42 MIDDLE WAY 21 (40) INDIANA JONES 297 6 8 0 36 OLLIS HEROES (27) CIRCLE K 354 3 0 0 36 OLDIES (5) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BEN10 306 5 1 2 33 OLLIS HEROES (27) CUSTODIAN 325 4 7 0 33 OLDIES (5) FABER CASTELL 335 5 2 0 30 BLACK LIGHTNING II (44) ALMENDRAS 353 3 2 0 30 BLACK LIGHTNING II (44) PETRO SALM 337 5 5 0 29 MIDDLE WAY 21 (40) MELANIE OBERN 324 6 6 1 25 MIDDLE WAY 21 (40) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BOOLUUGY 333 4 3 1 17 BLACK LIGHTNING II (44) SLIGHT ADJUSTMENT 336 4 3 1 16 BLACK LIGHTNING II (44) AUNTY JACK 357 1 0 0 16 THE MYRMIDONS (48) SOUTHBOUND 334 3 4 0 14 BLACK LIGHTNING II (44) KHOAKS 355 1 0 0 13 THE MYRMIDONS (48) BARLDEN 358 1 0 0 9 THE MYRMIDONS (48) HARRY POTTER 317 1 2 0 7 OLLIS HEROES (27) GARKEN 356 0 1 0 1 THE MYRMIDONS (48) HECTOR PASCALS 359 0 1 0 1 THE MYRMIDONS (48) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn. THE DEAD W L K TEAM NAME SLAIN BY TURN Revenge? PERSONAL ADS Petro Salm -- Thanks for spending time with me. It was a fine tussle. I was just plain lucky. -- Circle K Rosana Sabel -- Now that you've cleaned my clock, perhaps I should go back to cleaning toilets? -- Custodian Southbound -- I'm glad we were going the same way and took the long, slow ride together. I had the smoothest ride. I think I will head back north. -- Life Scout Eric -- It is always such a rush to trump someone. I guess it was just your day to be the trumpee. (As opposed to trumpet, and I don't suppose you could be a strumpet?) -- Contract Bridge (trying out for a spot on The Comedy Channel) Moris Nahr -- You beat me fair and square and took my prize, you meanie! -- Cracker Jacks Jorja -- Assur and his bashers would be a welcome sight. I think we should renickname him BASHUR. -- Coach All -- I am one of the most important warriors in this arena, because if it weren't for me, there might not be a back half of the pack. -- Custodian P.S. Plus-- this is one of the cleanest arenas around Alastari. Telorinthe is not IN Alastari. -- Arenmaster Salgreid Black Lightening, have we ever said "welcome" to you? Well, we should have. Meanwhile, NICE point gain last round. Well done. -- Coach Telorinthe -- I'd like to send my greetings to you all as I commence a new team in this arena. I am Sigurd Fafnisbane, and I am the Team Manager and Owner of The Myrmidons stable. My team and I look forward to meeting you in the far more intimate confines of the arena proper, and for drinks all round at The Warty Toad (an interesting name for a tavern). I'll get the first round for those that turn up. -- Sigurd Fafnisbane, manager The Myrmidons. Life Scout -- And so you should be! -- Rosana Sabel P.S. Of course, so should I be, also. Berthold -- I hold you PERSONALLY responsible for keeping me from the title. Just so you know. -- Moris Nahr Cracker Jacks -- You were holding back, weren't you? If you'd put a little more into that fight, I'd have gotten more than the minimum points for it, and taken the title. Oh, well. -- Moris Nahr Berthold -- I wish you'd fought my teammate Moris. Maybe he'd have shut up about the title then, win or lose. -- Sam Tall Almendras -- I do like almonds, does that count? -- Melanie Obern Custodian -- This is just not your best line of work. Or mine either. But we keep going. I guess we get something for persistence. Besides bruises. -- Rosana Sabel Circle K -- An old favorite. -- Petro Salm LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS CRACKER JACKS devastated MORIS NAHR in a 1 minute mismatched Challenge fight.
