                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.  
I doubt WILLAF will ever be the same.  And let's see, CM2033 fought MIDAS TOUCH and 
gained 17 points and contributed to JLG's 3-2-0.  HIGH FANTASY has lost to 
TITANTHONERE, falling 11 points, while helping make PHILANTROGENTS a 2-3-0 turn.  Due 
to his absence and inability to defend the throne, HOWIE HOWITZER has lost the title 
of Duelmaster.  And not without some honor, CM2033 now claims the title and throne of 
Duelmaster of WILLAF.  Can someone confirm a rumor for me?  I hear the top team makes 
their losing fighters do dishes at The Welcome Wench until they win.  Maybe?   
     Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' 
Inscrutable, but true.  The most challenged warrior this turn was BUBBA'S BARBARIANS' 
warrior THE HUMUNGUS.  More fighters challenged him than challenged the Duelmaster!   
     A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once.  Wise men know this to 
be true.  Will BUBBA'S BARBARIANS get away with THE HUMUNGUS having killed LEBANON 
CYPRUS of EXTINCTION?  One more turn, and the bloodfeud's over, at least officially.  
A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the 
fight is over.  Consider well.   
     Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the 
sweetest.  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
