                                      SPY REPORT

     Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in SOLVEN this turn, and let's start 
with a look at some of the teams.  Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there 
are sorrows to drown for RED SECTOR A, whose 2-1-0 this turn dropped them by 5 into 
8th.  THE REPUBLICANS stable has parlayed this turn's 4-1-0 into a 3 space move up 
the rankings.  This brings them up to 2nd place.  Good work, guys!  And let's see, 
LITTLE WORLD fought POLITE BEGGAR and gained 15 points and contributed to ARE YOU ?'s 
1-0-0.  REGINALD J. PRIEST has lost to BLACKBURN, falling 6 points, while helping 
make PROTECTORS a 2-3-0 turn.  And not without some honor, THE ENEMY WITHIN now 
claims the title and throne of Duelmaster of SOLVEN.  By the way, was that our 
Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The Victory Tavern?   
     Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' 
Inscrutable, but true.  SNOT QUITE RIGHT has cause to stand tall, as they were 
SOLVEN's most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team to beat.  And 
avoiding SNOT QUITE RIGHT more than any other team we find THE REPUBLICANS.  SOLVEN, 
are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?  The most challenged warrior 
this turn was THE REPUBLICANS' warrior DUNCAN HUNTER.  More fighters challenged him 
than challenged the Duelmaster!   
     A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once.  Wise men know this to 
be true.  Is it really true that SOLVEN has more dishwashers per capita that 
fighters?  Just thought I'd ask...   
     Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe.  Dare 
to fight bravely.  It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your 
swords sharp and your hammers heavy.  Until you see my quill in SOLVEN again, 
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe
