                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
WILLAF brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Later days, YAK-MOOSE PARTY, since 2 
BAD 4 U 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 FORCE OF FIVE 2, whose 
0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 5 into 13th.  Ha!  PUNNY AMINALS turned their 1-0-0 
turn into a 7th place rank in the listings this turn.  Any better than this, and you 
get put on hit lists.  Now let's all watch 2 BAD 4 U's heads swell from their 4-1-0 
this turn.  Haa ha ha ha!  Big shots, big talk, big deal.  Of course, we're all 
terribly impressed to see IRON MCGINTY win a fight and gain 26 points, terribly.  
Tsk, tsk, TOWTON beat 534C-6 and 534C-6 lost 22 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  
And if variety is the spice of life, WILLAF may be getting bland, as RE-PETE stays 
top dog in the city.  The Dripping Blade, humph!  I've tasted better ale at 
mortuaries.  Where do they get this stuff?  From WILLAF's trash dumps?   
     He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.  2 BAD 4 
U, 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 it looks like PHILANTROGENTS avoided them 
the most this turn.  What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me.  Hmph.  Ooh, I'm 
frightfully impressed, CM2033 was this turn's most challenged warrior.  Watch that 
ego swell, sports fans.   
     Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and 
gone, and get to see if their team cared.  Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only 
shines through use.  Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.   
     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.  Phlllt!  Just had to do that before 
I leave the fine city of WILLAF.  I feel much better now.  Paste this one in your 
scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens
