                                      SPY REPORT

     Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in ZUWAYZA this turn, and let's start 
with a look at some of the teams.  It seems the training can make the difference, as 
DEMONIC CHILI'S is pushed out of top team by CHAOS KIDS, who came from 3rd with a 
3-2-0 this turn.  The UNDERWORLD guild has had a 3-1-0 turn and deserves to be 
watched in the future.  You never know where this kind of thing can lead.  And let's 
see, HOT LIPS fought BOILER and gained 20 points and contributed to DEMONIC CHILI'S' 
2-0-1.  UREA has lost to ALMANAC, falling 15 points, while helping make UNDERWORLD a 
3-1-0 turn.  SWEET ONION challenged for the Duelmastership this turn, attempting to 
dethrone UNDER THE SEA's warrior.  And not without some honor, SWEET ONION now claims 
the title and throne of Duelmaster of ZUWAYZA.  Can someone confirm a rumor for me?  
I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Drunken Ox until 
they win.  Maybe?   
     Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' 
Inscrutable, but true.  I also notice that the DEMONIC CHILI'S stable was the most 
avoided team this turn.  Come on ZUWAYZA, what are you afraid of?  And guess who 
avoided DEMONIC CHILI'S stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was CHAOS KIDS.  
Anyone surprised?  The most challenged warrior this turn was THE MAGNIFICENT MAGS' 
warrior WEIRD TALES.  More fighters challenged her than challenged the Duelmaster!   
     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.  The manager of HOT COVEY will not 
be pleased to learn that BOILER, a 2-0-0 fighter, has been killed at the hands of 
DEMONIC CHILI'S' HOT LIPS.  Now it looks like MAULERFIEND is gone, and forgotten too, 
now that THOUSAND SONS did not revenge UNDER THE SEA's HANK for killing MAULERFIEND.  
Is it really true that ZUWAYZA has more dishwashers per capita that fighters?  Just 
thought I'd ask...   
     Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe.  Dare 
to fight bravely.  Well, I'm burning daylight here in ZUWAYZA and I've a long road 
ahead of me.  Happy Trails.  Until you see my quill in ZUWAYZA again, farewell--
