                                      SPY REPORT

     Well, what are you looking at, TRANSEL?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  ZEITGEISTS turned their 1-1-0 turn into 
a 3rd place rank in the listings this turn.  Any better than this, and you get put on 
hit lists.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see PSYCHO KILLER win a fight 
and gain 14 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, PSYCHO KILLER beat CO-PILOT THOR and 
CO-PILOT THOR lost 10 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  And if variety is the spice 
of life, TRANSEL may be getting bland, as WILLOW stays top dog in the city.  
Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think some of these guys 
win their fights?  Skill?  Ha!   
     He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.  What's 
the big D?  CHAOS KIDS was the most avoided team?  Bunch of lily livered... 
grumble... mumble... curse...  And who led the way in this mass act of cowardice?  
Let's see, well, whatcha know?  It was LANCIARII.  Ha ha ha ha!  Ooh, I'm frightfully 
impressed, MCKINLEY was this turn's most challenged warrior.  Watch that ego swell, 
sports fans.   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for TRANSEL's 
morgue.  More variety.  We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if the fate 
catches up with you sooner that later?   
     What does the TRANSEL arena have in common with the inns?  It's just as 
comfortable to sleep in either place.  Ha ha ha ha!  Just wait 'till next time I show 
up here, I won't be so nice!  So nyaaah!  Glad to see the back of this place-- Snide 
Clemens
