                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.  
I doubt DRAGONHEAD will ever be the same.  It seems the training can make the 
difference, as DISARM is pushed out of top team by BB HARDWOOD FLOOR, who came from 
2nd with a 3-0-0 this turn.  BASH BROS CANDY stable has parlayed this turn's 2-0-0 
into a 4 space move up the rankings.  This brings them up to 7th place.  Good work, 
guys!  The BB HARDWOOD FLOOR guild has had a 3-0-0 turn and deserves to be watched in 
the future.  You never know where this kind of thing can lead.  On their very first 
turn, BB CELL PHONE had a 2-1-0, and with this kind of luck or skill, should do well. 
Welcome to DRAGONHEAD.  And let's see, HIDDEN CHARGES fought EMBEZZLING SCRIBE and 
gained 20 points and contributed to BB CELL PHONE's 2-1-0.  JOE PINEAPPLES has lost 
to ALL HUMANOIDS, falling 9 points, while helping make TIN MEN a 0-1-0 turn.  This 
week's Duelmaster bout was between QUARGOL-SEVEN and our Duelmaster DRUNK, making a 
challenge.  The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and DRUNK remains 
DRAGONHEAD's top warrior for another turn.  Can someone confirm a rumor for me?  I 
hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Warty Toad 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.  WOMEN OF CHATZY has cause to stand 
tall, as they were DRAGONHEAD's most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a 
team to beat.  And guess who avoided WOMEN OF CHATZY stable the most?  Believe it or 
not, it was BB HARDWOOD FLOOR.  Anyone surprised?  The most challenged warrior this 
turn was PLATINUM HORDE's warrior QUARGOL-SEVEN.  More fighters challenged him than 
challenged the Duelmaster!   
     We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and 
shave it close?  GIANTS & GOLEMS V has lost MARSH GIANT to the arena in the sky, but 
they don't seem to be worried.  What do you expect from 5-7-0?  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.  It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your 
swords sharp and your hammers heavy.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to 
paper-- Alarond the Scribe
