                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, in BONSUR a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.  
So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news.  It seems the training can make the 
difference, as CHURCH LADIES is pushed out of top team by BEACH BABES, who came from 
4th with a 4-1-0 this turn.  BEACH BABES stable has parlayed this turn's 4-1-0 into a 
3 space move up the rankings.  This brings them up to 1st place.  Good work, guys!  
And let's see, SLAMMER fought OGRESMASHER and gained 28 points and contributed to 
AMEN!'s 1-1-1.  MARGO has lost to CRASH, falling 8 points, while helping make CHURCH 
LADIES a 0-4-0 turn.  MOSES challenged for the Duelmastership this turn, attempting 
to dethrone BRUTAL LEGION's warrior.  Defending his title for another turn, FATALITY 
kept AMEN!'s warrior, MOSES, from claiming the throne.  Tell me, is nothing sacred?  
I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Welcome Wench uses trolls in their 
stew.  Talk about gristle!   
     The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more 
could a warrior ask of life?  Well, besides that.  WESTNMAFIA has cause to stand 
tall, as they were BONSUR's most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team 
to beat.  And guess who avoided WESTNMAFIA stable the most?  Believe it or not, it 
was SENTINELS.  Anyone surprised?  The most challenged warrior this turn was AMEN!'s 
warrior SLAMMER.  More fighters challenged him than challenged the Duelmaster!   
     The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.  
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed.  Banners at half mast, warriors, 
SENTINELS has lost OGRESMASHER, and you might say all of BONSUR has felt the loss, 
except maybe AMEN!.  We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their 
enemies.  You know who you are; and it's considered rude.   
     Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the 
sweetest.  It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your swords 
sharp and your hammers heavy.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- 
Alarond the Scribe

Nora -- No, Orcs and Neanderthals are very different species.  Orcs are, well, not
always pleasant.  But who wouldn't want a good old fashioned caveman at a party?  Our
knuckles really don't drag, at least as long as we get a good night's sleep.  And the
unibrow?  That has been out of style for several generations--you are still working
from old stereotypes.  As for my fighting, well, not so good.  That was orcish. --
Neanderthal the non-Orc

Pensacolita -- There is nothing wrong with moderation.  One must simply know in what
to be moderate--it allows the opportunity to also then choose in what to be
immoderate.  While moderation in all things may lead to a boring cabana, a lack of
moderation in all things is unlikely to leave you in a position to host the next
party.  And that is a situation to be avoided. -- Ogresmasher

Fatality -- Who says Duelmasters is a popularity contest? -- Slammer

Obrojobo -- These swords are     flimsy, aren't they?  Too bad they don't come with a
warranty.  If you don't mind, I could use the scrap metal.  I'm building an abstract
sculpture of a burning bush. -- Moses
P.S.  How is Huntsman, anyway?  I may have to pay him a visit if I ever get out of
this place.

Artis -- That must be some church! -- Long Beach Lila

Moses -- You could at LEAST pull me out of the water after all that. -- Pensacolita

Neanderthal -- It seems odd that you're an elf.  Or at least they claim you're an
elf.  Can I take your helm off and check your ears? -- N'Orleans Nora
P.S.  Pointed ears are sexy, you know.

Crash -- Wow, I DID. -- Palmetta Patty

Debbie -- I guess I'm lucky I survived that, huh?  But you didn't have to throw in
the towel quite so vigorously. -- Teri Towyl

Ogresmasher -- Quite right.  It's hard to give up a good joke--do you know how few
there ARE in the arena system as a whole?  But fifty-nine times is enough.  We'll
just love you for your self alone. -- the Beach Babes

Our congratulations to tourney victors Zero, Maca-Raunchy Salad, Tasty Hangnail, and
Fatality. -- Jorja and the Beach Babes
