                                      SPY REPORT

     Well, what are you looking at, ARUAK CITY?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Later days, TOTEMS OF RAGE, since THE 
BLUES took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news.  Now keep the taverns 
open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for THE RED HAND, whose 0-4-0 this 
turn dropped them by 4 into 9th.  Ha!  ANIMAL FARM turned their 2-1-0 turn into a 4th 
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 LIL' ED WILLIAMS win a fight 
and gain 16 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, LIL' ED WILLIAMS beat WIGOBANE and WIGOBANE 
lost 14 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  CORNERED WEASEL Bloodfeuded ARETE for 
ARUAK CITY's Title this turn, and guess what happened?  And if variety is the spice 
of life, ARUAK CITY may be getting bland, as CORNERED WEASEL 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, ARUAK CITY?   
     Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.  
What's the big D?  BULLDOGS was the most avoided team?  Bunch of lily livered... 
grumble... mumble... curse...  And it looks like THE MYRMIDONS avoided them the most 
this turn.  What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me.  Hmph.  Ooh, I'm 
frightfully impressed, MEZAR KURIN was this turn's most challenged warrior.  Watch 
that ego swell, sports fans.  Looks like time for laurels or hemlock, LOSER was 
challenged by WHITE FANG, who was ranked 29 points below it.  But here's a pretty 
tale--WHITE FANG did lose the fight, but gained 3 worth of recognition.  Some long 
shots can pay off, I guess.   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for ARUAK CITY's 
morgue.  More variety.  It's about time ARETE got beat for picking on warriors like 
CORNERED WEASEL.  Bravo, TOTEMS OF RAGE.  See you at The Victory Tavern.  Not that 
I'll be buying the drinks, but I'll be glad to see SCARBACK GORILLA and TOTEMS OF 
RAGE at The Victory Tavern tonight celebrating their bloodfeud victory over CEPHEUS.  
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 ARUAK CITY arena have in common with the inns?  It's just as 
comfortable to sleep in either place.  Ha ha ha ha!  Phlllt!  Just had to do that 
before I leave the fine city of ARUAK CITY.  I feel much better now.  I see the 
crowds are getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens
