                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
ROCANIS brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Now let's all watch ALLIANCE's heads 
swell from their 3-0-0 this turn.  Haa ha ha ha!  Big shots, big talk, big deal.  Of 
course, we're all terribly impressed to see TEMB win a fight and gain 26 points, 
terribly.  Tsk, tsk, TEMB beat VENOMOUS CUR and VENOMOUS CUR lost 20 points.  You're 
breakin' my heart.  And it's out with the old, in with the new, as MARLBORO MAN takes 
the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster.  Heh, heh.  Mylar's, 
humph!  I've tasted better ale at mortuaries.  Where do they get this stuff?  From 
ROCANIS' trash dumps?   
     Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.  
What's the big D?  ALLIANCE was the most avoided team?  Bunch of lily livered... 
grumble... mumble... curse...  And it looks like CHRISTMAS CURSES avoided them the 
most this turn.  What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me.  Hmph.   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for ROCANIS' 
morgue.  More variety.  A big yahoo goes out to MARLBORO MAN this turn, for revenging 
ALLIANCE's bloodfeud against CHRISTMAS CURSES' warrior LUMP O COAL.  Heh, heh, heh.  
It's about time BLEEDING EYE-SORE got beat for picking on warriors like VAN CLEVE.  
Bravo, ALLIANCE.  See you at Mylar's.  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.  Just wait 'till next time I show up 
here, I won't be so nice!  So nyaaah!  I see the crowds are getting restless, I must 
leave now-- Snide Clemens
