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, FAR TRAVELERS, since BASH
BROS BABY took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. Gee, I'm
impressed, a 4-1-1 is nice, but don't get cocky, BASH BROS BABY, the Fates teach
humility, and the Fates are proud. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see
FORMULA SHORTAGE win a fight and gain 25 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, YZARMA beat
STONE ED and STONE ED lost 3 points. You're breakin' my heart. And it's out with
the old, in with the new, as YENTAL ZEEVE takes the Title and last week's bar tab
from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how
else do you think some of these guys win their fights? Skill? Ha!
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.
XOCHITHLAN, I am losing what little hope I had in you. TROLLHEIM the most avoided
team? What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And it looks like BASH BROS BABY
avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me.
Hmph. YZARMA was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the
DM insulted or feared? Heh, heh. Looks like time for laurels or hemlock, APPLE CORE
was challenged by ARCHAMBEAU, who was ranked 27 points below him. And The Warty Toad
has banned APPLE CORE from service until next turn for losing to ARCHAMBEAU and
giving him 25 points in the process! Ha! I guess I can give a little credit to
CUDDLEBUG of TROLLHEIM for challenging up by 23 to CRYING. CUDDLEBUG lost to get 73
points of recognition.
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for XOCHITHLAN's
morgue. More variety. And what a stunning loss we have here, boys and girls,
DARKWING DUCK of DUCKS UNLIMITED has added the final loss to his 13-10-0. Tee hee!
Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through use. Certain nameless
cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.
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. Paste this one in your scrapbooks, you'll need
the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens
