SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, ZUKAL? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Later days, SEA DOGS, since HOMESTAR &
CO took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. Now keep the taverns
open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for SEA DOGS, whose 0-0-0 this turn
dropped them by 4 into 5th. Ha! HOMESTAR & CO turned their 2-0-0 turn into a 1st
place rank in the listings this turn. Any better than this, and you get put on hit
lists. Tsk, tsk, VASQUEZ beat BILL HALL and BILL HALL lost 12 points. You're
breakin' my heart. Looks like ZUKAL has some guts at least, HOMESTAR the Duelmaster
was this turn's most-challenged warrior. DD challenged ZUKAL's Duelmaster for a shot
at the throne. And if variety is the spice of life, ZUKAL may be getting bland, as
HOMESTAR stays top dog in the city. The Blue Boar Inn, humph! I've tasted better
ale at mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From ZUKAL's trash dumps?
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.
What's the big D? BLUE MOON 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 BREWERS. Ha ha ha ha! I guess I can give a
little credit to EL CABALLO of BREWERS for challenging up by 21 to BLUESTOCKING. EL
CABALLO won to get 58 points of recognition.
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for ZUKAL'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.
What does the ZUKAL arena have in common with the inns? It's just as
comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! 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

Strong Bad -- We did notice that. -- Norther
El Caballo -- A "caballo," perhaps, but I doubt you'll prove to be a "caballero."
Different set of guidelines entirely. -- Bluestocking
DD -- I almost expected you to be female Hot Stuff. But that would have been too
intimidating. -- Fisher King
Did you know that the darned Venomous Concubine is a part-time assassin? Outrageous!
-- Bisbee Blue
Eye Shadow -- Well... I don't use it, you know. -- Bitterman
