                                      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!.  We now have a new top team for all of you guys 
to dogpile on.  THE RED HAND now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep 
it.  It was a tough week for BULLDOGS, to drop 6 places in the rankings.  Coming up 
with a solid 3-1-0 outing, RAINBOW WARRIORS has advanced 9 places in the rankings.  
It looks like the guys(?) at THE RED HAND had a good week as they went 3-0-0 to put 
them in 1st place.  I guess steroids help!  Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk 
out on the sands.  TEMPTRESS was bested by HEART OF GOLD and drops 19 points.  Well, 
everybody's pal BRENNANS moved his record to 15-4-0 by defeating TOLIN in the 
Duelmaster's Title Bout and gaining 2 recognition points.  An apple a day keeps the 
doctor away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay.   
     Here is other news that is of note.  Here's a song for you:  Who's afraid of the 
big, bad RATTZ?  Big bad RATTZ.  Big bad RATTZ.  ARUAK CITY's afraid of the big bad 
RATTZ.  Tra la la la la!  And you guys like to boo me?  Well, unsling your 
rasberries, cause ANIMAL FARM beats feet every time RATTZ smiles at them.  Try 
farming, eh?  Well just about everybody wants a piece of BARIT CHAVANA, who was this 
week's most challenged warrior.  Was it guts or an overtaxed mental capacity that had 
PHOENIX challenge up 27 points in the rankings to take on BARIT CHAVANA?  This week 
PHOENIX 4-5-0 fought BARIT CHAVANA 7-2-0 and in losing gained 4 points.  I know 
several gladiators who could go for a few fights like that.  In a touching display by 
a 'touched' warrior, CLEAVE TO GENIUS went after PORTERHOUSE, who was higher by 21 
points.  Well, when the dust settled, CLEAVE TO GENIUS bested PORTERHOUSE.   
     Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the 
most interesting, though!  For those of you who missed it, Death showed up, grabbed 
TUFFY by the ear and took him away to a place where he won't need a coat.  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.  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
