                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
NIANIA brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Later days, THE GOLDEN FISH, since 
LOST SOULS II took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news.  NIANIA saw 
the first turn for LOST SOULS II, a 5-0-1, and some teams are scared, others are too 
arrogant to notice.  Take note friends, take note.  Of course, we're all terribly 
impressed to see ROY DEMAEO win a fight and gain 21 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, 
BRAVO beat MINNOW and MINNOW lost 10 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  And it's out 
with the old, in with the new, as CUTPURSE 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!   
     He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.   
     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.  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

Ah, three-two, and we swept, positively SWEPT, the front page.  Even the new guy,
after complaining about not being allowed to use a trident, did well.  Can it last?
