                                      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.  
DARKHEART DUNGEON now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep it.  Rising 
in the ranks like a loaf of armored bread (okay, I admit it's corny) is ROOKIE 
METALLICA 8, who swept up 11 places in the ranks.  Take a look at PROJECT MAYHEM 12's 
act, as they have a 1-0-0 week and gain 21 places in the team ranking.  Rising in the 
ranks like a loaf of armored bread (okay, I admit it's corny) is NAMED BY TDO, who 
swept up 23 places in the ranks.  Take a look at ROOKIE QUEEN 48's act, as they have 
a 1-0-0 week and gain 23 places in the team ranking.  Suffering under a 0-1-0 record 
and dropping from 1st to 13th place were the BODY BY OTTO.  Keep trying!  Rising in 
the ranks like a loaf of armored bread (okay, I admit it's corny) is CHICAGO BOUND 
12, who swept up 16 places in the ranks.  A seasoned team is steady in the lists.  
But to THIRSTY THUGS 1302, which fell to 31st, it's what you soak in before going to 
the Dark Arena.  Hey everybody, watch out for DAMIEN, who flew up 20 points in the 
rankings after mashing EMBEZZLING SCRIBE like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  
It's a proud day for the SUPE FORCES AA08 stable, as their warrior, TRADICK, ascended 
the Duelmaster's throne.  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 BLACKSTONE arena.  Here's 
a song for you:  Who's afraid of the big, bad WARRIORS 11?  Big bad WARRIORS 11.  Big 
bad WARRIORS 11.  BLACKSTONE's afraid of the big bad WARRIORS 11.  Tra la la la la!  
Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch BODY BY OTTO's act in the arena.  Those 
acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from WARRIORS 11.  Well just about 
everybody wants a piece of MORGANOR, who was this week's most challenged warrior.  In 
a touching display by a 'touched' warrior, SOUND SHOWGIRL went after MORGANOR, who 
was higher by 22 points.  Well, when the dust settled, SOUND SHOWGIRL was beat by 
MORGANOR.   
     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.  Hasta la bye-bye.  (Loud 
choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown Spymaster
