                                      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.  SONS 
OF THE STAR now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep it.  A stormcloud 
is brewing over the VULGAR UNICORN 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 4-1-0 outing, 
SONS OF THE STAR has advanced 4 places in the rankings.  Hey everybody, watch out for 
BOSS RAT, who flew up 20 points in the rankings after mashing TALGEN like a melon.  
Keep your eye on this beast.  And falling like a basher in the top ten was TALGEN, 
who dropped 16 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with BOSS RAT.  
Our battling duelmaster KALISTA has managed to hold the title, fending off JUBAL's 
none too subtle advances.  Better luck next time, VULGAR UNICORN.  Can you believe 
they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff?   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the NIANIA arena.  Did you 
hear that DEEP ELVES was most avoided team this week?  Well, knowing the personal 
hygiene of DEEP ELVES' warriors, I'm not surprised!  Okay, so I may not be funny, but 
catch SONS OF THE STAR's act in the arena.  Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at 
running from DEEP ELVES.  Well just about everybody wants a piece of FAKE HEALER, who 
was this week's most challenged warrior.  Challenging down 27 points was JOS.  Pretty 
soon he'll be using two shields and selling 'T.P.:  The only way to clean up' pins.  
I just want to congratulate ESMITH on beating JOS.  She overcame hers superior-ranked 
opponent and gained 25 points.  Congrats!  GOSOSOSOS of RESURRECTION had better have 
a good reason for challenging down 14 points in a challenge which he lost.  I thought 
GOSOSOSOS showed great skill and promise when he was subdued by FAKE HEALER.  All 
right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day 
drinking to their memory.  Better tanked than dead!  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 NIANIA have no 
sense of humor.  Or maybe that they were senseless.  Okay, so I may not be the 
world's best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.  Its been 
real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster
