                                      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 ROOFERS, as they are pushed 
from the coveted top team spot by the WARCKERS stable.  Hey everybody, watch out for 
CLEMENTA, who flew up 19 points in the rankings after mashing THE HONEST MERCHANT 
like a melon.  Keep your eye on this gal.  And falling like a basher in the top ten 
was ROLLING CLOUD, who dropped 1 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout 
with NOT REALLY ALCOHOL.  Going for the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody 
knuckles was GOLDEN CANYON's DINGLEBERRY, who was turned away from the Duelmastership 
by SHADOW HUNTER.  An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps 
T.P.s at bay.   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the CALEAM arena.   
     Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day 
drinking to their memory.  Better tanked than dead!  Ask not the elves for counsel, 
for they will say both yes and no.  Silly buggers, eh?   
     Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in CALEAM have no 
sense of humor.  Or maybe that they were senseless.  C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some 
tracks.  Its been real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been real fun...-- The 
Unknown Spymaster
