                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
KYR'TERR brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Now keep the taverns open late 
tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for NYSE BRESTUSUSES, whose 0-1-0 this turn 
dropped them by 4 into 6th.  Ha!  DARQUE FORCES turned their 2-3-0 turn into a 3rd 
place rank in the listings this turn.  Any better than this, and you get put on hit 
lists.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see TRIGUN win a fight and gain 20 
points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, TRIGUN beat SARA SMILE and SARA SMILE lost 15 points.  
You're breakin' my heart.  L5R challenged KYR'TERR's Duelmaster for a shot at the 
throne.  And if variety is the spice of life, KYR'TERR may be getting bland, as RICH 
GIRL stays top dog in the city.  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, KYR'TERR?   
     Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.  
KYR'TERR, I am losing what little hope I had in you.  DARQUE FORCES the most avoided 
team?  What insult will suffice, I cannot say.  And it looks like SPORTING B avoided 
them the most this turn.  What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me.  Hmph.  
RIKKUS was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster.  Now was the DM 
insulted or feared?  Heh, heh.  Now look at this.  MARATHON challenged down 16 
against DARQUE FORCES' RIKKUS.  What a weasel!  And sorry to say, MARATHON overcame 
RIKKUS, leaving a bad feeling with the crowd.  I think exploitive snob is the term 
I'm looking for.   
     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.  Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess 
what brave team is developing these kinds of weapons?   
     There's got to be a better place in KYR'TERR to get a drink than The Dripping 
Blade!  Any suggestions?  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
