                                      SPY REPORT

     Well, what are you looking at, NIANIA?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed 
to see THE LIZARD KING win a fight and gain 14 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, ELINTERRI 
beat DREW and DREW lost 6 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  Looks like NIANIA has 
some guts at least, ROBOT CHICKEN the Duelmaster was this turn's most-challenged 
warrior.  CHAKTIRI challenged NIANIA's Duelmaster for a shot at the throne.  And it's 
out with the old, in with the new, as CHAKTIRI 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, NIANIA?   
     My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start 
talking.' I loved that woman.  SERPENTS HOLD, 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 THE FUNNY FARM avoided them the most this turn.  What a pack of would 
be losers, if you ask me.  Hmph.   
     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 GRAPE APE a drink 
tonight!  Anyone who can come back from the Dark Arena, I want to be on his good 
side!  We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if the fate catches up with 
you sooner that later?   
     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.  Paste 
this one in your scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide 
Clemens

Forbidden Fruit -- I kind of like this matchup. -- Ghuda

Polish Cavalry -- Seems I need to learn a little more attack.  Next time I'm just
going to outwait you. -- Papewaio

Robot Chicken -- Interesting strategy, not sure what happened on this one but I'm
going to try something a little different next time.  Congrats on the title! --
Tasaio

Kinthira -- That was a close one! -- Chaktiri

Korbrizt Horon -- Thanks for the learns! -- Jiro

Tasaio -- I'd've been willing, but the Commission seems to have had some other idea.
-- Kinthira

Chaktiri -- I'm used to losing to you guys, but you could've been a better student.
-- Kinthira

Jiro -- Consider those skills an investment in your NEXT tourney. -- Korbrizt Horon

Grape Ape -- Ah, grape juice!  Finest kind. -- Kestraline

The Lizard King -- In my mind, you're confused with my late teammate Red Lizard.
Takes me a minute to make the switch over to seeing you as an opponent.
Unfortunately, in a fight that minute lost is decisive.  Oh, well. -- Elinterri

Drew -- You've been holding serpents.  That's disgusting.  Have you smelled your
hands lately? -- Lugbruk
