                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.  
I doubt TRANSEL will ever be the same.  Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for 
there are sorrows to drown for PSYCHO SQUAD, whose 0-2-0 this turn dropped them by 6 
into 11th.  FAVORITE SAYINGS stable has parlayed this turn's 2-0-1 into a 5 space 
move up the rankings.  This brings them up to 5th place.  Good work, guys!  The RAT 
PAK 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.  And let's see, HEMLOCK fought MORAN and 
gained 14 points and contributed to CHAOS KIDS' 1-4-0.  ASH has lost to NURNIN THE 
UNLUCKY, falling 13 points, while helping make FIRST NAME BASIS a 0-2-0 turn.  The 
attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and TUB THUMPING remains TRANSEL's 
top warrior for another turn.  By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last 
night, cramped under the table at The Victory Tavern?   
     He who challenges well, fights well.  He who avoids without cause, shall lose 
for good reasons.  My mama told me that one.  CHAOS KIDS has cause to stand tall, as 
they were TRANSEL's most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. 
And guess who avoided CHAOS KIDS stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was 
LANCIARII.  Anyone surprised?   
     The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.  
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed.  I guess it was coming sooner or 
later, CHAOS KIDS has lost REQUIEM, and TRANSEL is bound to miss her.  For a little 
while, at least.  Seriously now, is it really honorable for PAINT IT BLACK from TOP 
HITS to kill REQUIEM and give CHAOS KIDS the chance to bloodfeud?  Mmmm, could be.  
The Victory Tavern declares a free round for BLACK BETTY and all of TOP HITS, for 
having revenged BLACK AND BLUES' KOKO TAYLOR for killing one of their comrades.  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.   
     Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the 
sweetest.  Well, I'm burning daylight here in TRANSEL and I've a long road ahead of 
me.  Happy Trails.  Until you see my quill in TRANSEL again, farewell-- Alarond the 
Scribe
