                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
ALJAFIR brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Now keep the taverns open late 
tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for TOP FIVE BOBS, whose 0-0-0 this turn 
dropped them by 4 into 10th.  Ha!  244 BOURBONS ST turned their 1-0-0 turn into a 7th 
place rank in the listings this turn.  Any better than this, and you get put on hit 
lists.  Now let's all watch THE SHOWOFFS' heads swell from their 3-0-0 this turn.  
Haa ha ha ha!  Big shots, big talk, big deal.  Of course, we're all terribly 
impressed to see BIG DUDE win a fight and gain 17 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, BIG 
DUDE beat TACO TRUCK and TACO TRUCK lost 13 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  Looks 
like ALJAFIR has some guts at least, COMO the Duelmaster was this turn's 
most-challenged warrior.  Going for broke or broken, our Duelmaster CASTLE KEEP 
challenged this turn.  And if variety is the spice of life, ALJAFIR may be getting 
bland, as COMO 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.  
ALJAFIR, I am losing what little hope I had in you.  THE SHOWOFFS the most avoided 
team?  What insult will suffice, I cannot say.  And it looks like PERRY STRIKE FORCE 
avoided them the most this turn.  What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me.  
Hmph.  Now look at this.  YOU JUST LOST challenged down 20 against WHEN EAGLES DARE's 
POMPEII.  What a weasel!  Question now is, will ALJAFIR accept this sort of tacky 
behavior?  YOU JUST LOST beating POMPEII.  The insult, the....yech!   
     Death and Taxes.  The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience.  Let's 
see if anyone's dead or dying.  And what a stunning loss we have here, boys and 
girls, CASTLE KEEP of WHEN EAGLES DARE has added the final loss to his 15-10-0.  Tee 
hee!  I can't say as I'm proud to find out that PERRY STRIKE FORCE's COMO has killed 
CASTLE KEEP from WHEN EAGLES DARE.  I can say I wish WHEN EAGLES DARE good luck in 
their bloodfeud.  Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through use.  
Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.   
     What does the ALJAFIR 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 ALJAFIR.  I feel much better now.  Paste this one in 
your scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens
