                                      SPY REPORT

     Well, what are you looking at, ARUAK CITY?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Later days, THE RED HAND, since ANIMAL 
FARM took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news.  ANIMAL FARM turned 
their 3-2-0 turn into a 1st 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 
BULLISH win a fight and gain 15 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, LEOF TORFINN beat 
SHARON'S DATE and SHARON'S DATE lost 13 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  BIG TIME 
SARAH challenged NIBBLES for ARUAK CITY's Title this turn, and guess what happened?  
And if variety is the spice of life, ARUAK CITY may be getting bland, as BIG TIME 
SARAH 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!   
     Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.  
ARUAK CITY, I am losing what little hope I had in you.  THE BLUES the most avoided 
team?  What insult will suffice, I cannot say.  And it looks like THE MYRMIDONS 
avoided them the most this turn.  What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me.  
Hmph.  NIBBLES was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster.  Now was the 
DM insulted or feared?  Heh, heh.  I guess I can give a little credit to PATROCLUS of 
THE MYRMIDONS for challenging up by 25 to JON THANE.  PATROCLUS won to get 103 points 
of recognition.   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for ARUAK CITY's 
morgue.  More variety.  And what a stunning loss we have here, boys and girls, 
PHOENIX of THE MYRMIDONS has added the final loss to his 11-13-0.  Tee hee!  Titanium 
shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is developing these kinds of 
weapons?   
     What does the ARUAK CITY arena have in common with the inns?  It's just as 
comfortable to sleep in either place.  Ha ha ha ha!  Phlllt!  Just had to do that 
before I leave the fine city of ARUAK CITY.  I feel much better now.  Glad to see the 
back of this place-- Snide Clemens
