                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
LYRATILAN brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  WINDS OF WAR turned their 2-1-0 
turn into a 2nd place rank in the listings this turn.  Any better than this, and you 
get put on hit lists.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see TURKEY win a 
fight and gain 16 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, JAZZ beat PETRO STICK and PETRO STICK 
lost 8 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  Due to absence, and inability to defend 
the throne, BOOMING BARITONE has lost the Title of Duelmaster.  Start setting that 
alarm earlier!  And it's out with the old, in with the new, as SUZE takes the Title 
and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster.  Heh, heh.  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, 
LYRATILAN?   
     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.  PHOENIX GUARD the most avoided 
team?  What insult will suffice, I cannot say.  And who led the way in this mass act 
of cowardice?  Let's see, well, whatcha know?  It was WINDS OF WAR.  Ha ha ha ha!  
WASHINGTON VERN was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster.  Now was the 
DM insulted or feared?  Heh, heh.  I notice BYRON challenging down 19 points to fight 
MOCKINGBIRD, WINDS OF WAR doubtless has some rotten excuse for such an insult to 
honor.  Question now is, will LYRATILAN accept this sort of tacky behavior?  BYRON 
beating MOCKINGBIRD.  The insult, the....yech!  And we have SUZE in a TV challenge, 
going down 10 points for the fight.  Guess what?  I thought SUZE showed great skill 
and promise when she subdued WASHINGTON VERN.  All right, so I slept through it!  Big 
deal!   
     Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and 
gone, and get to see if their team cared.  And now a passing thought on a warrior 
dying young (IPA of LIBATIONS 2):  You had your chance and now you're dead.  Oh 
well...  Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through use.  Certain 
nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.   
     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
