                                      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.  
WORTHLESS MANAGERS 3 now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep it.  A 
stormcloud is brewing over the OF WOLF & DROW guildhouse.  Rumor says any more weeks 
like this ones 0-1-0 may send the team to the Dark Arena.  Coming up with a solid 
3-2-0 outing, RESURRECTION has advanced 5 places in the rankings.  METAL CHURCH is no 
joke as it posted a 4-1-0 week advancing from 6th place to 4th place.  Hey everybody, 
watch out for JAR, who flew up 28 points in the rankings after mashing ICA BRIGHTLITE 
like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk 
out on the sands.  ICA BRIGHTLITE was beat by JAR and drops 24 points.  CHYLEYA got 
through to the Duelmaster this turn.  No doubt she was more than anxious to kick 
ALL-IN's tail out of the throne!  Our battling duelmaster ALL-IN has managed to hold 
the title, fending off CHYLEYA's none too subtle advances.  Better luck next time, 
RESURRECTION.  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 NIANIA arena.  Here's a 
song for you:  Who's afraid of the big, bad WORTHLESS MANAGERS  3?  Big bad WORTHLESS 
MANAGERS 3.  Big bad WORTHLESS MANAGERS 3.  NIANIA's afraid of the big bad WORTHLESS 
MANAGERS 3.  Tra la la la la!  And you guys like to boo me?  Well, unsling your 
rasberries, cause SONS OF THE STAR beats feet every time WORTHLESS MANAGERS 3 smiles 
at them.  Try farming, eh?  And who is this MADMAN OVERTURE you ask, with 40 points 
and a 6-6-1 record.  Ooh, the tales I could tell!   
     Death is kind of like a new puppy:  he's always around wanting to play.  (Ha 
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?).  The audience likes blood and there was 
plenty of it covering NILOETH as she was driven to an early grave by THE DEALER of 
the WORTHLESS MANAGERS 3.  Congrats to STAUBACH for revenging the death of hers 
teammate (but more importantly, feeding DRIPPY a bit of dirt).  Here's some advice:  
warriors with little wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.   
     Well, there's the manager of the NIANIA 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 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
