                                      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!.  Say good-bye to PHILANTHROPISTS43, as they are 
pushed from the coveted top team spot by the MEDAL OF HONOR IS stable.  Take a look 
at PROJECT MAYHEM 38's act, as they have a 1-0-0 week and gain 13 places in the team 
ranking.  Rising in the ranks like a loaf of armored bread (okay, I admit it's corny) 
is MEDAL OF HONOR 15P, who swept up 19 places in the ranks.  Take a look at BUBBA'S 
LEGION's act, as they have a 1-0-0 week and gain 12 places in the team ranking.  
Rising in the ranks like a loaf of armored bread (okay, I admit it's corny) is 
PHILANTHROPISTS35, who swept up 21 places in the ranks.  Suffering under a 0-1-0 
record and dropping from 9th to 29th place were the MEDAL OF HONOR T10.  Keep trying! 
A seasoned team is steady in the lists.  But to MEDAL OF HONOR O3, which fell to 
33rd, it's what you soak in before going to the Dark Arena.  What goes up, must come 
down.  Watch out BLACKSTONE!  MEDAL OF HONOR 109 may fall on you as it crushes past 
the teams below it to fall on the 41st spot.  Hey everybody, watch out for MIST 
GARDEN, who flew up 28 points in the rankings after mashing SERGEANT 1 like a melon.  
Keep your eye on this guy.  Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the 
sands.  PFC 1 was bested by INTERSTATE 95 and drops 16 points.  Well, everybody's pal 
MICK moved his record to 10-1-2 by defeating PREMIER in the Duelmaster's Title Bout 
and gaining 14 recognition points.  4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, 
so try and avoid aiming at that location.   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the BLACKSTONE arena.  Did 
you hear that PHILANTHROPISTS55 was most avoided team this week?  Well, knowing the 
personal hygiene of PHILANTHROPISTS55's warriors, I'm not surprised!  For those of 
you who like math, try this one:  PHILANTHROPISTS55 + Weapons That go Boom = BRITONS 
+ Avoid City.   
     Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the 
most interesting, though!  The audience likes blood and there was plenty of it 
covering SSG 15 as he was driven to an early grave by BRAZO of the PHILANTHROPISTS35. 
Knowing when to use the right tactics at the proper time is a very important step on 
the road to Duelmaster.   
     Well, there's the manager of the BLACKSTONE giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that 
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?).  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
