                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
JHANS brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Later days, CLAN BATTLEAXE II, since 
TANKS FOR NOTHIN' took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news.  If this 
keeps up, IRON DAMSELS, you'll have to shine swords instead of use them.  A drop of 5 
in the rankings?  CLAN BATTLEAXE turned their 3-1-0 turn into a 3rd place rank in the 
listings this turn.  Any better than this, and you get put on hit lists.  Of course, 
we're all terribly impressed to see LEMAN win a fight and gain 17 points, terribly.  
Tsk, tsk, MARK 1 beat ARK and ARK lost 16 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  Due to 
absence, and inability to defend the throne, BARKEEP BARB has lost the Title of 
Duelmaster.  Start setting that alarm earlier!  And it's out with the old, in with 
the new, as DAHLIA 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, JHANS?   
     He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.  IRON 
DAMSELS, 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 who led the way in this mass act of 
cowardice?  Let's see, well, whatcha know?  It was NEON KNIGHTS.  Ha ha ha ha!  
CAYAHUANCA was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster.  Now was the DM 
insulted or feared?  Heh, heh.   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for JHANS' 
morgue.  More variety.  And what a stunning loss we have here, boys and girls, SIGNY 
of EMU'S STRAIN has added the final loss to hers 5-3-0.  Tee hee!  Honor is like a 
chainmail shirt, it only shines through use.  Certain nameless cowards will doubtless 
rebuke me on this one.   
     What does the JHANS arena have in common with the inns?  It's just as 
comfortable to sleep in either place.  Ha ha ha ha!  Just wait 'till next time I show 
up here, I won't be so nice!  So nyaaah!  Glad to see the back of this place-- Snide
