                                      SPY REPORT

     Thankyouthankyou.  It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in 
RODEKI.  Hope you enjoy the show.  Oh, who am I kidding?  I already got paid!  We now 
have a new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on.  SAXON now holds the crown and 
they are betting they can keep it.  Hey everybody, watch out for THREE SHEETS, who 
flew up 20 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.  
QUEEN OF HEARTS lost to ZORA YOUNG and drops 6 points.  Going for the gusto and 
coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was MI CASA's CREVE COEUR, who was turned 
away from the Duelmastership by HOMINY HOMINY.  Can you believe they are paying me 10 
gold to deliver this stuff?   
     Here is other news that is of note.  Here's a song for you:  Who's afraid of the 
big, bad GRECIAN FORMULA?  Big bad GRECIAN FORMULA.  Big bad GRECIAN FORMULA.  
RODEKI's afraid of the big bad GRECIAN FORMULA.  Tra la la la la!  Okay, so I may not 
be funny, but catch MI CASA's act in the arena.  Those acrobats seem to be fairly 
deft at running from GRECIAN FORMULA.  And who is this QUEEN OF HEARTS you ask, with 
5 points and a 1-1-0 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!  In the 'Oops, What Have I Done?' 
category, BEYOND THE GRAVE was mashed by HOPE MILLS, who let BEYOND THE GRAVE know 
that killing members of MI CASA is a no-no.  Here's some advice:  warriors with 
little wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.   
     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 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
