SPY REPORT

If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
ARDIVENT brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Of course, we're all terribly
impressed to see POLLY win a fight and gain 17 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, POLLY
beat OVERREACHING ACAI and OVERREACHING ACAI lost 8 points. You're breakin' my
heart. GUTSHOT challenged WFMS, LLC for ARDIVENT's Title this turn, and guess what
happened? And if variety is the spice of life, ARDIVENT may be getting bland, as
GUTSHOT stays top dog in the city. Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how
else do you think some of these guys win their fights? Skill? Ha!
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.
ARDIVENT, I am losing what little hope I had in you. FANDILS the most avoided team?
What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And it looks like WILD CARDS avoided them
the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph. Ooh, I'm
frightfully impressed, OVERREACHING ACAI was this turn's most challenged warrior.
Watch that ego swell, sports fans.
Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and
gone, and get to see if their team cared. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess
what brave team is developing these kinds of weapons?
I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for
an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. 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

Hole Card, you were our only REAL warrior! --Russi

Gutshot, a salute to you as Duelmaster and on your journey to The Isle. -- WOF
