                                      SPY REPORT

     Well, what are you looking at, NOBLISH ISLAND?  Ain't you never seen Snide 
Clemens before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Later days, DON'T AVOID US, 
since ETERNAL ABYSS took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news.  If this 
keeps up, PLANETARY FORCES, you'll have to shine swords instead of use them.  A drop 
of 4 in the rankings?  ETERNAL ABYSS turned their 4-1-0 turn into a 1st place rank in 
the listings this turn.  Any better than this, and you get put on hit lists.  Gee, 
I'm impressed, a 3-1-0 is nice, but don't get cocky, MC GLADIATOR PIT, the Fates 
teach humility, and the Fates are proud.  NOBLISH ISLAND saw the first turn for BASH 
BROS SCUMLORD, a 5-0-0, and some teams are scared, others are too arrogant to notice. 
Take note friends, take note.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see LUMI 
win a fight and gain 17 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, OSKSI NOBLE beat ROTATION and 
ROTATION lost 14 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  And it's out with the old, in 
with the new, as GRAVITY takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old 
Duelmaster.  Heh, heh.  Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you 
think some of these guys win their fights?  Skill?  Ha!   
     My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start 
talking.' I loved that woman.  NOBLISH ISLAND, I am losing what little hope I had in 
you.  DON'T AVOID US the most avoided team?  What insult will suffice, I cannot say.  
And who led the way in this mass act of cowardice?  Let's see, well, whatcha know?  
It was PLANETARY FORCES.  Ha ha ha ha!  Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, INCOME TAXES 
was this turn's most challenged warrior.  Watch that ego swell, sports fans.   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for NOBLISH 
ISLAND's morgue.  More variety.  Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what 
brave team is developing these kinds of weapons?   
     There's got to be a better place in NOBLISH ISLAND to get a drink than The 
Welcome Wench!  Any suggestions?  Well, I've had enough of this drivel, and I'm sure 
you have too.  Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather.  I see the crowds are 
getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens
