                                      SPY REPORT

     Well, what are you looking at, ARKERS?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Now keep the taverns open late tonight, 
for there are sorrows to drown for OFF THE DEEP END, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped 
them by 4 into 6th.  Ha!  Now let's all watch LADIES IN WAITING's heads swell from 
their 3-0-0 this turn.  Haa ha ha ha!  Big shots, big talk, big deal.  Of course, 
we're all terribly impressed to see CHAS win a fight and gain 24 points, terribly.  
Tsk, tsk, LUXOR beat ASPHYXIATE and ASPHYXIATE lost 8 points.  You're breakin' my 
heart.  DEIDRE challenged ARKERS' Duelmaster for a shot at the throne.  And if 
variety is the spice of life, ARKERS may be getting bland, as TICOTIN 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!   
     My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start 
talking.' I loved that woman.  FIGHTING IRISH, I suppose you'll be glad to know you 
were this turn's most avoided team.  Care to know who is the most afraid of you?  And 
who led the way in this mass act of cowardice?  Let's see, well, whatcha know?  It 
was FAR TRAVELERS.  Ha ha ha ha!  Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, POOKA was this 
turn's most challenged warrior.  Watch that ego swell, sports fans.   
     Death and Taxes.  The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience.  Let's 
see if anyone's dead or dying.  We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if 
the fate catches up with you sooner that later?   
     I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for 
an epee.  Forgive me for writing with a dagger.  Well, I've had enough of this 
drivel, and I'm sure you have too.  Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather.  Glad 
to see the back of this place-- Snide Clemens

Ticotin -- That was impressive, warriors with that much exp can be difficult to kill.  
I'll try bloodfueding with Deidre first.  I'm not overly optimistic but I'd like to 
give her a shot now taht I know her favs. -- Donner

Middle Way II -- My apologies about Bertie, that wasn't my intention.  Considering his 
record though, it might have been a small mercy?  I waont avoid, hope you won't be too 
hard on me. -- Cailleach
