                                      SPY REPORT

     Well, what are you looking at, NIANIA?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  COLORS turned their 5-0-0 turn into a 
2nd place rank in the listings this turn.  Any better than this, and you get put on 
hit lists.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see AMBER win a fight and gain 
20 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, KINTHIRA beat FORBIDDEN FRUIT and FORBIDDEN FRUIT 
lost 6 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  And if variety is the spice of life, 
NIANIA may be getting bland, as THE LIZARD KING stays top dog in the city.  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?   
     He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.  What's 
the big D?  HAMOI TONG was the most avoided team?  Bunch of lily livered... 
grumble... mumble... curse...  And who led the way in this mass act of cowardice?  
Let's see, well, whatcha know?  It was THE FUNNY FARM.  Ha ha ha ha!  KINTHIRA was 
challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster.  Now was the DM insulted or 
feared?  Heh, heh.   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for NIANIA's 
morgue.  More variety.  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.  Phlllt!  Just had to do that before 
I leave the fine city of NIANIA.  I feel much better now.  Glad to see the back of 
this place-- Snide Clemens
