It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in SNOWBOUND. 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. SIGMA NU'S now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep it. Hey everybody, watch out for BIG JIM, who flew up 21 points in the rankings after mashing PERRY REESE like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. SNOW PLOW was overcame by FUGUE and drops 16 points. Try as hard as the BOOK OF THOMAS stable might, they were unable to find their warrior (and ex-Duelmaster) PREDATOR before this week's fights. It's a proud day for the OPEN SESAME stable, as their warrior, MRS. NOODLE, ascended the Duelmaster's throne. Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff? Here is other news that is of note. Did you hear that BOOK OF THOMAS was most avoided team this week? Well, knowing the personal hygiene of BOOK OF THOMAS' warriors, I'm not surprised! For those of you who like math, try this one: BOOK OF THOMAS + Weapons That go Boom = OPEN SESAME + Avoid City. Well just about everybody wants a piece of JOSEKI KO, who was this week's most challenged warrior. Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the most interesting, though! This week 7-9-0 BERLINETTA was sent to the Dark Arena. I know a lot of fighters with similar records who might take notice of this. Ask not the elves for counsel, for they will say both yes and no. Silly buggers, eh? Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in SNOWBOUND have no sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. Well, there goes another Spy Report. Good luck in next week's fights. And remember, you can pick your friends and you can pick your--(loud boos), oh, you've heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MRS.
