                                      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 DIZZY DAN win a fight and gain 12 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, CRYINARA beat 
LOVABLE LARRY and LOVABLE LARRY lost 5 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  And if 
variety is the spice of life, NIANIA may be getting bland, as GWAR stays top dog in 
the city.  Jim's Tap Room, humph!  I've tasted better ale at mortuaries.  Where do 
they get this stuff?  From NIANIA's trash dumps?   
     Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.  
NIANIA, I am losing what little hope I had in you.  THE RUNAROUND the most avoided 
team?  What insult will suffice, I cannot say.  And it looks like MENTOR DEMENTOR 
avoided them the most this turn.  What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me.  
Hmph.   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for NIANIA's 
morgue.  More variety.  Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through use.  
Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.   
     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.  I see the crowds are 
getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens
