                                      SPY REPORT

     Well, what are you looking at, XOCHITHLAN?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Later days, DUCKS UNLIMITED, since 
TROLLHEIM took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news.  Of course, we're 
all terribly impressed to see BENDER win a fight and gain 20 points, terribly.  Tsk, 
tsk, RIRORNI JANISSARY beat STONE ED and STONE ED lost 15 points.  You're breakin' my 
heart.  Due to absence, and inability to defend the throne, CRYING has lost the Title 
of Duelmaster.  Start setting that alarm earlier!  And it's out with the old, in with 
the new, as REYKJA takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster.  
Heh, heh.  The Warty Toad, humph!  I've tasted better ale at mortuaries.  Where do 
they get this stuff?  From XOCHITHLAN's trash dumps?   
     Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.  
UNDERGROUND LAB 17, 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 it looks like 
TROLLHEIM avoided them the most this turn.  What a pack of would be losers, if you 
ask me.  Hmph.  Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, APPLE CORE was this turn's most 
challenged warrior.  Watch that ego swell, sports fans.   
     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.  MUGWORT's 13-12-0 has earned her the Dark Arena.  
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 XOCHITHLAN to get a drink than The Warty 
Toad!  Any suggestions?  Phlllt!  Just had to do that before I leave the fine city of 
XOCHITHLAN.  I feel much better now.  I see the crowds are getting restless, I must 
leave now-- Snide Clemens
