                                      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!.  It was a tough week for 2159 BOURBON ST, to 
drop 4 places in the rankings.  Coming up with a solid 2-2-0 outing, FAR TRAVELERS 
has advanced 3 places in the rankings.  Hey everybody, watch out for ANDRIANA, who 
flew up 20 points in the rankings after mashing THE HONEST MERCHANT like a melon.  
Keep your eye on this guy.  Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the 
sands.  SNEELY was beat by CONLAOCH and drops 9 points.  Well, if ya don't shows up 
at the laundromat, ya can'ts wash yer clothes.  SOULKEEPER did not fight this week so 
his title was forfeit.  In front of all the crowds, THE TRAMP took the Duelmaster's 
crown for his own.  I give the bum two weeks.  Can you believe they are paying me 10 
gold to deliver this stuff?   
     Here is other news that is of note.  Did you hear that DRACO was most avoided 
team this week?  Well, knowing the personal hygiene of DRACO's warriors, I'm not 
surprised!  For those of you who like math, try this one:  DRACO + Weapons That go 
Boom = FAR TRAVELERS + Avoid City.  And who is this THE TRAMP you ask, with 68 points 
and a 13-11-1 record.  Ooh, the tales I could tell!   
     Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day 
drinking to their memory.  Better tanked than dead!  Too bad THE DOGHOUSE won't be 
eating any crow this week because of GALOOSH's bloodfeud passing.  Why?  No 
bloodfeud, no fowl (Drumroll, Groans).  Ask not the elves for counsel, for they will 
say both yes and no.  Silly buggers, eh?   
     Well, there's the manager of the TOBIR giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that 
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?).  Well, there goes another Spy Report.  
Good luck in next week's fights.  Its been fun, and I'm sure you enjoyed it (boos).  
Now that I've got you worked up for Snide Clemens, I'll be leaving-- The Unknown 
Spymaster
