                                      SPY REPORT

     Well, what are you looking at, LYRATILAN?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  DARK FORCES turned their 2-3-0 turn into 
a 3rd place rank in the listings this turn.  Any better than this, and you get put on 
hit lists.  Gee, I'm impressed, a 4-1-0 is nice, but don't get cocky, WORKING GIRLS, 
the Fates teach humility, and the Fates are proud.  Of course, we're all terribly 
impressed to see PETRO STICK win a fight and gain 25 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, 
PETRO STICK beat APOLLYON and APOLLYON lost 16 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  
Looks like LYRATILAN has some guts at least, SOUTHWARK the Duelmaster was this turn's 
most-challenged warrior.  PAMELA challenged LYRATILAN's Duelmaster for a shot at the 
throne.  And if variety is the spice of life, LYRATILAN may be getting bland, as 
SOUTHWARK 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.  
LYRATILAN, I am losing what little hope I had in you.  DARK FORCES the most avoided 
team?  What insult will suffice, I cannot say.  And it looks like WINDS OF WAR 
avoided them the most this turn.  What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me.  
Hmph.   
     Death and Taxes.  The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience.  Let's 
see if anyone's dead or dying.  I could say I saw this coming, but so could anyone 
else.  Anyway, this turn it came.  OPHELIA's 4-11-1 has earned her the Dark Arena.  
Now hey, I like to see a death as much as the next guy, but hey PHOENIX GUARD, whyja 
send DINNER to the Dark Arena, look at its record, huh?  We're all going to die in 
the end, so why worry if the fate catches up with you sooner that later?   
     There's got to be a better place in LYRATILAN to get a drink than The Piper's 
Rest!  Any suggestions?  Phlllt!  Just had to do that before I leave the fine city of 
LYRATILAN.  I feel much better now.  Paste this one in your scrapbooks, you'll need 
the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens
