                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
ZUWAYZA brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  If this keeps up, CHAOS KIDS, you'll 
have to shine swords instead of use them.  A drop of 4 in the rankings?  THE 
MAGNIFICENT MAGS turned their 2-2-0 turn into a 5th place rank in the listings this 
turn.  Any better than this, and you get put on hit lists.  Now let's all watch THE 
ALLIANCE's heads swell from their 4-1-1 this turn.  Haa ha ha ha!  Big shots, big 
talk, big deal.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see BOB BEGGER win a 
fight and gain 20 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, SWEET ONION beat HANK and HANK lost 11 
points.  You're breakin' my heart.  Looks like ZUWAYZA has some guts at least, HATHOR 
MAAT the Duelmaster was this turn's most-challenged warrior.  Going for broke or 
broken, our Duelmaster BRACE Bloodfeuded this turn.  And if variety is the spice of 
life, ZUWAYZA may be getting bland, as HATHOR MAAT 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, ZUWAYZA?   
     Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.  
CHAOS KIDS, 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 who led the way in this mass act of 
cowardice?  Let's see, well, whatcha know?  It was DEMONIC CHILI'S.  Ha ha ha ha!  I 
guess I can give a little credit to KUNG PAO of DEMONIC CHILI'S for challenging up by 
23 to OBYSIS.  KUNG PAO lost to get 29 points of recognition.   
     Death and Taxes.  The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience.  Let's 
see if anyone's dead or dying.  Let's see, 8-5-0.  Pretty good record for a living 
warrior.  A sad one though, for a dead one.  Such is the case for BLACK MANDIBLE of 
BLACK MELEE.  Tsk.  Seriously now, is it really honorable for MAULERFIEND from 
THOUSAND SONS to kill BLACK MANDIBLE and give BLACK MELEE the chance to bloodfeud?  
Mmmm, could be.  We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if the fate catches 
up with you sooner that later?   
     I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for 
an epee.  Forgive me for writing with a dagger.  Well, I've had enough of this 
drivel, and I'm sure you have too.  Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather.  I see 
the crowds are getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens
