SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, ZUKAL? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Now keep the taverns open late tonight,
for there are sorrows to drown for BATTEL BLADES, whose 0-1-0 this turn dropped them
by 4 into 8th. Ha! Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see BARELY LEGAL win
a fight and gain 25 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, BO RHAP beat BLUE FUNK and BLUE FUNK
lost 14 points. You're breakin' my heart. And if variety is the spice of life,
ZUKAL may be getting bland, as VENTRIIE 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. BLUE
MOON, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were this turn's most avoided team. Care
to know who is the most afraid of you? And who led the way in this mass act of
cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was DARK WARDS. Ha ha ha ha! THROUGH
THE WINDOW was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the DM
insulted or feared? Heh, heh. I guess I can give a little credit to TOREADOR of
DARK WARDS for challenging up by 18 to KATANA. TOREADOR won to get 113 points of
recognition. And we have BLACK PRIEST in a challenge, going down 9 points for the
fight. Guess what? I thought BLACK PRIEST showed great skill and promise when he
bested BODY LANGUAGE. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for ZUKAL's
morgue. More variety. Consider NERISA TEAL gone, and BLUE MOON unfeeling, letting
the bloodfeud for hers death go unrevenged. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers,
guess what brave team is developing these kinds of weapons?
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 ZUKAL. I feel much better now. I see the crowds are
getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
Bo Rhap -- Not very nice down challenge. Might have to run a couple of my other guys
to suppress that kind of behavior. Totally don't mind the up challenge to grab the
skills but down. Not so happy. -- slugbait
Blue Moon -- Miss all of your guys. You're too good and I'm too bad. Hurry up and
graduate so that I can fight your replacements. Trust me, I'll still be around. --
Through the window
Lucifer -- You're so TEMPTING. I just couldn't resist you. -- Clarissa Teal
P.S. Why didn't you teach me anything? Ah, anything useful in the arena, I mean.
Ventriie -- I wanted to say really unkind things to and about you, but... nah. That
kind of stuff always comes back to bite a man in the ass eventually. -- Blammo
Toreador -- If I was a bull, you would be laughing out of the other side of your
mouth. Although I have never really understood how one laughs out of only one side
of the mouth. The gods know I've tried it, just to see.... It's even harder than
raising one eyebrow. -- Jed Tarran Dapp
And the Roving Demon, poor Karolvingar, loses twice. Works for us. -- Blue Streak
and Blue Funk
