                                      SPY REPORT

     Well, what are you looking at, JURINE?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed 
to see SHARPER IMAGE win a fight and gain 18 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, SHARPER 
IMAGE beat ALABAMA and ALABAMA lost 10 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  Due to 
absence, and inability to defend the throne, SOUTHERN GOTH has lost the Title of 
Duelmaster.  Start setting that alarm earlier!  And it's out with the old, in with 
the new, as IAN CUBIT takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old 
Duelmaster.  Heh, heh.  I'm not in a very good mood today, but why am I telling you 
this?  You want to know what's new, don't you, JURINE?   
     My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start 
talking.' I loved that woman.  SUB SPECIES, 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 TEMERE NOMEN avoided them the most this turn.  What a pack of would be 
losers, if you ask me.  Hmph.  SLOWPOKE was challenged more times this turn than the 
Duelmaster.  Now was the DM insulted or feared?  Heh, heh.  I guess I can give a 
little credit to AUTOSTONE of TEMERE NOMEN for challenging up by 24 to BEN AND 
JERRY'S.  AUTOSTONE won to get 64 points of recognition.  And we have IRON BUG in a 
challenge, going down 9 points for the fight.  Guess what?  I thought IRON BUG showed 
great skill and promise when he bested SLOWPOKE.  All right, so I slept through it!  
Big deal!   
     Death and Taxes.  The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience.  Let's 
see if anyone's dead or dying.  And sending LUCK LOW to the Dark Arena was supposed 
to be one of your better ideas, TEMERE NOMEN?  Now hey, I like to see a death as much 
as the next guy, but hey TEMERE NOMEN, whyja send ATOMITIME to the Dark Arena, look 
at hers record, huh?  Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is 
developing these kinds of weapons?   
     What does the JURINE 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!  I see the crowds are getting restless, I 
must leave now-- Snide Clemens
