                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
KOLACT brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Of course, we're all terribly 
impressed to see EAT SCHMIDT AND DIE win a fight and gain 18 points, terribly.  Tsk, 
tsk, EAT SCHMIDT AND DIE beat CLAUDIA and CLAUDIA lost 12 points.  You're breakin' my 
heart.  And if variety is the spice of life, KOLACT may be getting bland, as ENGINEER 
FRED stays top dog in the city.  I'm not in a very good mood today, but why am I 
telling you this?  You want to know what's new, don't you, KOLACT?   
     He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.  KOLACT, 
I am losing what little hope I had in you.  PRATFALL the most avoided team?  What 
insult will suffice, I cannot say.  And it looks like THE JERKS avoided them the most 
this turn.  What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me.  Hmph.  CLAUDIA was 
challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster.  Now was the DM insulted or 
feared?  Heh, heh.   
     Death and Taxes.  The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience.  Let's 
see if anyone's dead or dying.  And what a stunning loss we have here, boys and 
girls, ECLIPSE of THE MOONDOGS has added the final loss to his 8-11-0.  Tee hee!  
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 KOLACT arena have in common with the inns?  It's just as 
comfortable to sleep in either place.  Ha ha ha ha!  Well, I've had enough of this 
drivel, and I'm sure you have too.  Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather.  I see 
the crowds are getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens
