                                      SPY REPORT

     It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report.  Sit 
back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis.  We now have a 
new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on.  VALLEY OF KINGS now holds the crown 
and they are betting they can keep it.  Coming up with a solid 3-0-0 outing, MMM BEER 
4 has advanced 3 places in the rankings.  WE BIG WOHPUM is no joke as it posted a 
3-1-0 week advancing from 8th place to 5th place.  Hey everybody, watch out for 
DARLINE KOE, who flew up 27 points in the rankings after mashing NEW YORK GROOVE like 
a melon.  Keep your eye on this gal.  And falling like a basher in the top ten was 
NEW YORK GROOVE, who dropped 24 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout 
with DARLINE KOE.  Going for the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody knuckles 
was CATASTROPHIES' CATATTACK!, who was turned away from the Duelmastership by SLIDE 
RULE.  4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at 
that location.   
     But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!  
And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid ROCK BOTTOM, please raise you hand.  
Wow.  Does OSKSI really have that many liars?  And you guys like to boo me?  Well, 
unsling your rasberries, cause BANGERS & MASH beats feet every time ROCK BOTTOM 
smiles at them.  Try farming, eh?  And who is this CALCULATED you ask, with 27 points 
and a 3-13-0 record.  Ooh, the tales I could tell!  In a mismatch, our friend PORKY 
of BANGERS & MASH got heroic notions and challenged GOD OF THUNDER.  What did it get 
him?  A 17-10-0 record, that's what.  To the crowd's chants of 'Bo-zo bo-zo bo-zo', 
GOD OF THUNDER was taken out by the lower-ranked PORKY.  (Maybe it's time to think 
Dark Arena?).   
     Death is kind of like a new puppy:  he's always around wanting to play.  (Ha 
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?).  Remember:  alliances are great, but try and 
take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens.   
     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.  Its been real, and its been fun, 
but it hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster
