                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, in ALJAFIR a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.  
So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news.  It seems the training can make the 
difference, as NEON SCRAPPERS is pushed out of top team by PERRY STRIKE FORCE, who 
came from 4th with a 4-1-1 this turn.  PERRY STRIKE FORCE stable has parlayed this 
turn's 4-1-1 into a 3 space move up the rankings.  This brings them up to 1st place.  
Good work, guys!  And let's see, TOUCH GRASS fought BIG DUDE and gained 19 points and 
contributed to THIS MODERN WORLD's 1-0-0.  BIG DUDE has lost to TOUCH GRASS, falling 
14 points, while helping make THE SHOWOFFS a 0-3-0 turn.  Due to his absence and 
inability to defend the throne, WARWICK DAVIS has lost the title of Duelmaster.  We 
should ask MASON about the thrill of victory, and what being the new Duelmaster does 
for a warrior, he's now the one to ask.  Can someone confirm a rumor for me?  I hear 
the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Vile Vizier until they win. 
Maybe?   
     I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling.  A basher 
friend of mine assures me this is true.  I also notice that the WHEN EAGLES DARE 
stable was the most avoided team this turn.  Come on ALJAFIR, what are you afraid of? 
And avoiding WHEN EAGLES DARE more than any other team we find THE SHOWOFFS.  
ALJAFIR, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?  Well, sports fans, 
take notice that BIG DUDE from THE SHOWOFFS was ALJAFIR's most challenged warrior 
this turn.  COMO of PERRY STRIKE FORCE had better have a good reason for challenging 
down 8 points in a challenge which he won.  I thought COMO showed great skill and 
promise when he beat GRIMWAVE.  All right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once.  Wise men know this to 
be true.  Seriously now, is it really honorable for FARRELL from PERRY STRIKE FORCE 
to kill ALLEGHENY and give WRATHMEN 25-112 the chance to bloodfeud?  Mmmm, could be.  
Congratulations go out to PERRY STRIKE FORCE, with FARRELL revenging a bloodfeud 
against ALLEGHENY of WRATHMEN 25-112.  Is it really true that ALJAFIR has more 
dishwashers per capita that fighters?  Just thought I'd ask...   
     I like this place, ALJAFIR, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.  
Who could ask for more?  Always good to rest in ALJAFIR, but never good to wear out 
my welcome.  Look for me in future turns.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets 
to paper-- Alarond the Scribe
