                                      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!.  Rising in the ranks like a loaf of armored 
bread (okay, I admit it's corny) is MEDAL OF HONOR GV, who swept up 20 places in the 
ranks.  Take a look at MEDAL OF HONOR O3's act, as they have a 1-0-0 week and gain 21 
places in the team ranking.  What goes up, must come down.  Watch out BLACKSTONE!  
MEDAL OF HONOR IS may fall on you as it crushes past the teams below it to fall on 
the 24th spot.  Suffering under a 0-1-0 record and dropping from 16th to 27th place 
were the ROOKIE METALLICA 1.  Keep trying!  A seasoned team is steady in the lists.  
But to PROJECT MAYHEM 15, which fell to 30th, it's what you soak in before going to 
the Dark Arena.  What goes up, must come down.  Watch out BLACKSTONE!  SOUL STEALERS 
may fall on you as it crushes past the teams below it to fall on the 34th spot.  
Suffering under a 0-1-0 record and dropping from 23rd to 36th place were the MEDAL OF 
HONOR 14AS.  Keep trying!  Hey everybody, watch out for PURIST, who flew up 36 points 
in the rankings after mashing SOLDIER 36 like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  
Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.  SERGEANT 22 was defeated 
by BRIGHTON ROCK and drops 10 points.  The most challenged warrior this week was 
WICKED GREMLIN.  If this keeps up, our Duelmaster's going to need more avoids!  CPL 
20 got through to the Duelmaster this turn.  No doubt he was more than anxious to 
kick WICKED GREMLIN's tail out of the throne!  In front of all the crowds, CPL 20 
took the Duelmaster's crown for his own.  I give the bum two weeks.  Advice to 
bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd!   
     Here is other news that is of note.   
     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.  Well, there goes another Spy Report.  Good luck in 
next week's fights.  See ya next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster
