                                      SPY REPORT

     Well, what are you looking at, DWES EG?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  If The Welcome Wench is buying drinks 
for HIDDEN MAGIC's good turn, I'm afraid the place will be dry before long.  A 2-3-0 
makes for a big thirst.  With any luck, I can sneak into The Welcome Wench and join 
CHEESE's celebration over their good record this turn.  12th place, not bad.  If The 
Welcome Wench is buying drinks for DAMAGE INC.'s good turn, I'm afraid the place will 
be dry before long.  A 1-0-0 makes for a big thirst.  With any luck, I can sneak into 
The Welcome Wench and join DON'T MAKE SANDY's celebration over their good record this 
turn.  18th place, not bad.  Oh, this is too good to be true!  UTOPIA RELIGIOSO has 
fallen to 21st place after going 1-1-1 this turn.  Who's bragging now?  Why not, I'm 
having a good day, so I feel sorry for ANGRY CHICKEN, who went 1-2-0 and dropped 16 
into 23rd.  Here's my pity, for what it's worth.  Look out below!  OBLIVION CLEAVERS 
is on the way down, falling to 31st from 19th with a 0-1-0!  Ha ha ha ha!  Oh, this 
is too good to be true!  TRIBE OF DAWN has fallen to 32nd place after going 0-1-0 
this turn.  Who's bragging now?  Gee, I'm impressed, a 3-0-1 is nice, but don't get 
cocky, SCARLET CHAPEL, the Fates teach humility, and the Fates are proud.  Of course, 
we're all terribly impressed to see KING OF TWILIGHT win a fight and gain 26 points, 
terribly.  Tsk, tsk, KING OF TWILIGHT beat MAJOR MANDIBLE and MAJOR MANDIBLE lost 22 
points.  You're breakin' my heart.  Going for broke or broken, our Duelmaster BRAIN 
MOLE challenged this turn.  And it's out with the old, in with the new, as BRAIN MOLE 
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.  
What's the big D?  MONSTER MASH-B was the most avoided team?  Bunch of lily 
livered... grumble... mumble... curse...  And it looks like DEADWOOD avoided them the 
most this turn.  What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me.  Hmph.  Ooh, I'm 
frightfully impressed, BRAIN MOLE was this turn's most challenged warrior.  Watch 
that ego swell, sports fans.  I guess I can give a little credit to DINKROMANCER of 
HIDDEN MAGIC for challenging up by 18 to HAVARTI.  DINKROMANCER lost to get 14 points 
of recognition.   
     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.  Whoa!  I'll even buy CRIMSON CANON a drink 
tonight!  Anyone who can come back from the Dark Arena, I want to be on his good 
side!  Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is developing these 
kinds of weapons?   
     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.  Phlllt!  Just had to do that before 
I leave the fine city of DWES EG.  I feel much better now.  Paste this one in your 
scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens
