                                      SPY REPORT

     So why do I have this bag over my head?  Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and 
I'm going to give you a spy report!.  Coming up with a solid 2-2-0 outing, VULGAR 
UNICORN has advanced 4 places in the rankings.  Advancing in the rankings was 
HARLEQUINS who went from last turn's 237-212-11, to this week's record of 241-213-11. 
And falling like a basher in the top ten was ESMITH, who dropped 10 points after a 
disappointing (to say the least) bout with FARLYTH.  Our battling duelmaster KALISTA 
has managed to hold the title, fending off RAM SHAM's none too subtle advances.  
Better luck next time, DEEP ELVES.  Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get 
a bigger halberd!   
     Here is other news that is of note.  Here's a song for you:  Who's afraid of the 
big, bad RESURRECTION?  Big bad RESURRECTION.  Big bad RESURRECTION.  NIANIA's afraid 
of the big bad RESURRECTION.  Tra la la la la!  And you guys like to boo me?  Well, 
unsling your rasberries, cause DEEP ELVES beats feet every time RESURRECTION smiles 
at them.  Try farming, eh?  Well dang howdy, but if challenges were votes, GODS OF 
WRATH would be president.  Although it may be a contest he doesn't want to win.  In a 
touching display by a 'touched' warrior, NEWTON went after RESTINPIECES, who was 
higher by 22 points.  Well, when the dust settled, NEWTON won victory over 
RESTINPIECES.   
     Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the 
most interesting, though!  Big deal, so PIE IN YOUR EYE got mashed in the Dark Arena. 
With hers face she was more at home with the trolls than with us. (Waka waka).  
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
