                                      SPY REPORT

     Well, what are you looking at, WILLAF?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed 
to see SILVERWIND win a fight and gain 19 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, FAN OR 
DESPISER beat AWD GOGGIE and AWD GOGGIE lost 7 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  
Due to absence, and inability to defend the throne, RE-PETE has lost the Title of 
Duelmaster.  Start setting that alarm earlier!  And it's out with the old, in with 
the new, as CERRIN 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, WILLAF?   
     He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.  2 BAD 4 
U, 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 HARUCHAI avoided them the most 
this turn.  What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me.  Hmph.  Ooh, I'm 
frightfully impressed, TALLER IS BETTER was this turn's most challenged warrior.  
Watch that ego swell, sports fans.  And we have DROOL ROCKBAND in a challenge, going 
down 11 points for the fight.  Guess what?  I thought DROOL ROCKBAND showed great 
skill and promise when it won victory over TALLER IS BETTER.  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 what a stunning loss we have here, boys and 
girls, LORD FOULS BAND of HARUCHAI has added the final loss to hers 10-7-0.  Tee hee! 
It's about time SOSHIDA got beat for picking on warriors like STONEWIND.  Bravo, 
WINDS OF HOPE.  See you at The Dripping Blade.  Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it 
only shines through use.  Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this 
one.   
     There's got to be a better place in WILLAF to get a drink than The Dripping 
Blade!  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.  Paste this one in your scrapbooks, 
you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens
