                                      SPY REPORT

     Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in ROCANIS this turn, and let's start 
with a look at some of the teams.  It seems the training can make the difference, as 
ALLIANCE is pushed out of top team by BARDIC FLAPPERY, who came from 3rd with a 4-0-1 
this turn.  And let's see, NO SNO 4 U fought VAN CLEVE and gained 13 points and 
contributed to CHRISTMAS CURSES' 2-0-0.  VAN CLEVE has lost to NO SNO 4 U, falling 9 
points, while helping make ALLIANCE a 0-5-0 turn.  And not without some honor, LUMP O 
COAL now claims the title and throne of Duelmaster of ROCANIS.  Can someone confirm a 
rumor for me?  I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at Mylar's 
until they win.  Maybe?   
     He who challenges well, fights well.  He who avoids without cause, shall lose 
for good reasons.  My mama told me that one.  I also notice that the ALLIANCE stable 
was the most avoided team this turn.  Come on ROCANIS, what are you afraid of?  And 
guess who avoided ALLIANCE stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was CHRISTMAS 
CURSES.  Anyone surprised?   
     The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.  
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed.  We'd like to remind certain teams 
not to rob the graves of their enemies.  You know who you are; and it's considered 
rude.   
     Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe.  Dare 
to fight bravely.  Well, I'm burning daylight here in ROCANIS and I've a long road 
ahead of me.  Happy Trails.  Until you see my quill in ROCANIS again, farewell--
