                                      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!  We 
now have a new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on.  BRITONS now holds the 
crown and they are betting they can keep it.  Hey everybody, watch out for ATARI 
BIGBY, who flew up 27 points in the rankings after mashing TODAY'S STAR like a melon. 
Keep your eye on this guy.  And falling like a basher in the top ten was THIRSTY 
THUG, who dropped 26 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with KILLER 
BEES.  Well here's a duelmaster that doesn't sit back and say 'Challenge me'!  
TEARJERKER made a challenge against CITADEL this week.  Well, everybody's pal 
TEARJERKER moved its record to 14-7-0 by defeating CITADEL in the Duelmaster's Title 
Bout and gaining 15 recognition points.  4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the 
body, so try and avoid aiming at that location.   
     Here is other news that is of note.  Did you hear that MISISTERS OF DEFENSE was 
most avoided team this week?  Well, knowing the personal hygiene of MISISTERS OF 
DEFENSE's warriors, I'm not surprised!  And you guys like to boo me?  Well, unsling 
your rasberries, cause 08JL25A beats feet every time MISISTERS OF DEFENSE smiles at 
them.  Try farming, eh?  Well dang howdy, but if challenges were votes, CITADEL would 
be president.  Although it may be a contest it doesn't want to win.   
     Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the 
most interesting, though!  Knowing when to use the right tactics at the proper time 
is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.   
     Well, there's the manager of the BLACKSTONE giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that 
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?).  C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some 
tracks.  Its been real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been real fun...-- The 
Unknown Spymaster
