SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
ZUKAL brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Of course, we're all terribly
impressed to see KING RAT win a fight and gain 22 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, KING
RAT beat STING and STING lost 10 points. You're breakin' my heart. And if variety
is the spice of life, ZUKAL may be getting bland, as ODDLY ELEGANT stays top dog in
the city. I'm not in a very good mood today, but why am I telling you this? You
want to know what's new, don't you, ZUKAL?
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.
QUEEN, 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 DEVIATION. Ha ha ha ha!
Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and
gone, and get to see if their team cared. 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. 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

WINTER FACE-TO-FACE IN SUNNY ARIZONA!
Our next winter FTF will be held in Tempe, Arizona, January 17-19, 2014. It will be
held at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Tempe, Arizona (480-897-7444), the same hotel as
last year by popular request. Room rates are $145.00 per night, 1-2 occupancy, which
includes full cooked breakfast, complimentary manager's reception, free airport
shuttle, free parking and free high speed internet. There's a fitness center,
jacuzzi, and pool. The rooms are blocked--code RSI--please make your reservation by
December 15 before the block is released! (This is prime season for Phoenix, and

tournament info sheet and minioverviews some time in December. We hope you're all
looking forward to it and that we will see you there!
