                                      SPY REPORT

     Well, what are you looking at, ZUKAL?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed 
to see BOTSONO win a fight and gain 25 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, BOTSONO beat 
PRAYING MANTIS and PRAYING MANTIS lost 20 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  And 
it's out with the old, in with the new, as RAT RACE 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, ZUKAL?   
     Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.  PET 
SHOP FLOYD, 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 it looks like SPIRIT TOTEMS avoided 
them the most this turn.  What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me.  Hmph.   
     Death and Taxes.  The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience.  Let's 
see if anyone's dead or dying.  Three down, and one turn to go for PETTSBURG 2025 to 
call in the bloodfeud against CAGED FLOYD, else 3 RIVERS is but small history.  We're 
all going to die in the end, so why worry if the fate catches up with you sooner that 
later?   
     What does the ZUKAL 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!  I see the crowds are getting restless, I 
must leave now-- Snide Clemens
