                                      SPY REPORT

     Thankyouthankyou.  It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in 
BLACKSTONE.  Hope you enjoy the show.  Oh, who am I kidding?  I already got paid!  
Take a look at ROOKIE STYX 2's act, as they have a 1-0-1 week and gain 17 places in 
the team ranking.  Rising in the ranks like a loaf of armored bread (okay, I admit 
it's corny) is MEDAL OF HONOR AAG, who swept up 18 places in the ranks.  Take a look 
at ROOKIE QUEEN 10's act, as they have a 1-0-0 week and gain 19 places in the team 
ranking.  A seasoned team is steady in the lists.  But to MEDAL OF HONOR 14C, which 
fell to 22nd, it's what you soak in before going to the Dark Arena.  What goes up, 
must come down.  Watch out BLACKSTONE!  MEDAL OF HONOR HV may fall on you as it 
crushes past the teams below it to fall on the 24th spot.  Hey everybody, watch out 
for MR ROBOTO, who flew up 24 points in the rankings after mashing SSG 4 like a 
melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on 
the sands.  CPT 1 was defeated by HOME SWEET HOME and drops 10 points.  It's a proud 
day for the NORTH COUNTRY stable, as their warrior, THE BORDERLINE, 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.   
     Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the 
most interesting, though!  We might as well mark the passing of SSG 4, who was 
relatively new to the arena at 6-2-0.  Probably killed before his first shave.  On a 
sad note, SSG 4 found an early retirement at the hands of MR ROBOTO this week.  I 
wonder what MEDAL OF HONOR 15D will be doing about it?  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.  C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some tracks.  See ya 
next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster

The incursion of chaos creatures into northern Alastari has been stopped.  However, 
the gate they came through is open, and there are people from Alastari trapped on the 
other side.  They need to be rescued, and the gate needs to be closed.  If you have a 
Lord Protector whom you would like to send on this mission, please send a message to 
the Gladiatorial Commmission (email csr@reality.com or via diplo).  We will need to 
know their physical description, personality, and method of fighting.  We will select 
no more than a dozen volunteers.  Thank you!
