                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
SNOWBOUND brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Of course, we're all terribly 
impressed to see ISLAND ROOSTER win a fight and gain 12 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, 
KHALHUMS DWARF beat TRILL and TRILL lost 12 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  Due 
to absence, and inability to defend the throne, BROTHER HADES has lost the Title of 
Duelmaster.  Start setting that alarm earlier!  And it's out with the old, in with 
the new, as OUTTA TUNE takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old 
Duelmaster.  Heh, heh.  The Victory Tavern, humph!  I've tasted better ale at 
mortuaries.  Where do they get this stuff?  From SNOWBOUND's trash dumps?   
     Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.  
SNOWBOUND, I am losing what little hope I had in you.  SIGMA NU'S the most avoided 
team?  What insult will suffice, I cannot say.  And it looks like DARQUE THEORY 
avoided them the most this turn.  What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me.  
Hmph.  Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, SNOW PLOW was this turn's most challenged 
warrior.  Watch that ego swell, sports fans.  I guess I can give a little credit to 
OSTINATO of DARQUE THEORY for challenging up by 23 to JOSEKI KO.  OSTINATO lost to 
get 61 points of recognition.   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for SNOWBOUND's 
morgue.  More variety.  Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is 
developing these kinds of weapons?   
     What does the SNOWBOUND arena have in common with the inns?  It's just as 
comfortable to sleep in either place.  Ha ha ha ha!  Well, I've had enough of this 
drivel, and I'm sure you have too.  Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather.  Glad 
to see the back of this place-- Snide Clemens
