                                      SPY REPORT

     Thankyouthankyou.  It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in 
TALCAMA.  Hope you enjoy the show.  Oh, who am I kidding?  I already got paid!  
Coming up with a solid 1-0-0 outing, THUNDR + LITENING has advanced 5 places in the 
rankings.  It looks like the guys(?) at INANIMATE TOFU had a good week as they went 
4-1-0 to put them in 2nd place.  I guess steroids help!  Ya know, some days it 
doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.  LELYSSIA was bested by VENOMOUS CONCUBINE and 
drops 13 points.  It's a proud day for the COSMIC KARMA stable, as their warrior, 
COSMIC WIDOW, ascended the Duelmaster's throne.  4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed 
protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at that location.   
     Here is other news that is of note.  Here's a song for you:  Who's afraid of the 
big, bad INANIMATE TOFU?  Big bad INANIMATE TOFU.  Big bad INANIMATE TOFU.  TALCAMA's 
afraid of the big bad INANIMATE TOFU.  Tra la la la la!  And you guys like to boo me? 
Well, unsling your rasberries, cause WATCHMEN beats feet every time INANIMATE TOFU 
smiles at them.  Try farming, eh?  Well just about everybody wants a piece of LADY 
LIGHTYEAR, who was this week's most challenged warrior.  In a touching display by a 
'touched' warrior, FINEOUS FINGERS went after LADY LIGHTYEAR, who was higher by 18 
points.  Well, when the dust settled, FINEOUS FINGERS beat LADY LIGHTYEAR.   
     Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the 
most interesting, though!  Big deal, so DETHAN got mashed in the Dark Arena.  With 
his face he was more at home with the trolls than with us. (Waka waka).  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.  Its been real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been real 
fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster
