                                      SPY REPORT

    No deaths of note this turn.  How sad...  There were three bloodfeud down
challenges though.  The highlight of those?  EMPTY ROLL challenged down 93 points
to avenge FRANK MURPHY's killing of WATER SPLASH!  Well done.  The other two
weren't as big, but both successful bloodfeuds (MAJOR SNAFU over SOL DAEMON and
ST-IMULATING over CRUTCH).  Also well done.  EMPTY ROLL gets invited to ADM with
the win, showing that not all total parries lack the skills to graduate normally.
    NILE PRINCESS challenged LASAGNA for the throne.  The top two warriors going
at it.  NILE PRINCESS won in six minutes.  I'm sure LASAGNA will be back on top
again, probably sooner rather than later, but now it is NILE PRINCESS' time to
shine.  LASAGNA was reported as the most challenged warrior, so people want the
throne, apparently.  Or maybe they just really like Italian food.
    STIKE FORCE went 4-1, easily taking the current top team and team on the
move awards.  BASH BROS OCEAN also went 4-1, but got nothing for it!  HA!!!!
    Avoids?!?  We had 'em.  BASH BROS OCEAN led the way in avoiding JUST DESSERTS
this turn, but 45 avoids in total.  Eight is a lot for a single team, but there
were just a lot of avoids in total.
    Tourney news?!?  Chimlevtal had 10 warriors enter the tourney and the results
were not pretty.  Only two warriors ended with winning records.  TAPPED of
SKEWERERS went 4-3 in Initiates.  GENERAL KNOWLEDGE went 5-3 in Challengers.
    And here is the end of year report for Destitute Noble's quest for the
top chartered team spot:
    USEFUL WEAPONS went from 59.6% win/loss to 59.0% win/loss.
    JUST DESSERTS went from 52.1% win/loss to 52.9% win/loss.
Solid gain, there.  I'll try to remember to track this at the beginning of each
year, simply because it is so fun watching two veteran managers go at it like
this!!!

                                          -- BELINDA, happy in the new year
