                                      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.  THE BLUES 3 now holds the crown and 
they are betting they can keep it.  It looks like the guys(?) at BANGERS & MASH had a 
good week as they went 4-1-0 to put them in 2nd place.  I guess steroids help!  Hey 
everybody, watch out for BABA YAGA, who flew up 15 points in the rankings after 
mashing EMBEZZLING SCRIBE like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  Ya know, some 
days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.  TEMPE was defeated by TOASTIE and 
drops 11 points.  Well, everybody's pal BUDDY MOSS moved his record to 18-5-1 by 
defeating MCGINTY in the Duelmaster's Title Bout and gaining 18 recognition points.  
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 PET SHOP BOYS, please raise you hand. 
Wow.  Does OSKSI really have that many liars?  For those of you who like math, try 
this one:  PET SHOP BOYS + Weapons That go Boom = BANGERS & MASH + Avoid City.  Well 
just about everybody wants a piece of WALDO WOMBAT, who was this week's most 
challenged warrior.  CAREY BELL of THE BLUES 3 had better have a good reason for 
challenging down 8 points in a challenge which he won.  I thought CAREY BELL showed 
great skill and promise when he subdued MOOSE ALINI.  All right, so I slept through 
it!  Big deal!   
     Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the 
most interesting, though!  Here's some advice:  warriors with little wit and will may 
encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.   
     Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in OSKSI have no 
sense of humor.  Or maybe that they were senseless.  C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some 
tracks.  Hasta la bye-bye.  (Loud choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown
