SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, DAL SHANG? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. If this keeps up, SANGUINE SAINTS,
you'll have to shine swords instead of use them. A drop of 4 in the rankings? RX
MEX2 '86 turned their 1-0-0 turn into a 5th 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 SON SEALS win a fight and gain 16 points, terribly. And if variety
is the spice of life, DAL SHANG may be getting bland, as HARRUMPH stays top dog in
the city. 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, DAL SHANG?
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward. DAL
SHANG, I am losing what little hope I had in you. TOURNAMENT BLUES 65 the most
avoided team? What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And it looks like INTRUDERS
avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me.
Hmph. E. HEMINGWAY was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was
the DM insulted or feared? Heh, heh. I notice GNIGHT WHVEN challenging down 18
points to fight BIG WHEELER, SHADOW LIONS doubtless has some rotten excuse for such
an insult to honor. And golly gee, GNIGHT WHVEN bested BIG WHEELER. Aren't we all
surprised and impressed? And we have ROACH in a challenge, going down 14 points for
the fight. Guess what? I thought ROACH showed great skill and promise when he was
beat by FLOYD JONES. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
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. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only
shines through use. Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.
There's got to be a better place in DAL SHANG to get a drink than The Blazing
Unicorn! Any suggestions? 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 Clemens
