                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
MORYA brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Later days, BIG LAKE PURE, since BOOK 
OF THOMAS 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 BIG LAKE PURE, whose 
0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 5 into 6th.  Ha!  Of course, we're all terribly 
impressed to see VALTRA win a fight and gain 19 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, MANNY 
FOLD beat KUBOTA and KUBOTA lost 16 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  And if 
variety is the spice of life, MORYA may be getting bland, as STURDEVANT 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.  What's the big D?  YAMA BUSHI 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 OTTO'S MECHANICS. 
Ha ha ha ha!  Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, KUBOTA 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.   
     What does the MORYA 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
