Once again I've been called out of retirement for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting. Up 'n down. Up 'n down. Rankings always change. Up 'n down. I think I'm gonna be... Well, DR. SEUSS' 3rd moved them up to 3-2-0 place. What's with CAT IN THE HAT? It actually beat BLOODSWORN's ASHENRAGE, and walked away with 17 more points from the fight. Major screwup at STARBASE 5. INDEMOS lost 8 points to PATTERSON PINE. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe INDEMOS will provide more easy wins... Apparently MALCORN isn't filled with as many gutless wonders as I thought. The Dreaded Duelmaster got 4 challenges this turn! Another fighter (STRADA 12-5-0) challenged another Duelmaster (CHARISMATIC 33-25-0). Life goes on. Try as he might, STRADA wasn't good enough at persuading CHARISMATIC to step down from the Duelmaster's throne... Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting! No matter the time or place, men will always duel. The most avoided team was MEAT MARKET. In my day, no team with a 54-65-4 would scare me off! What's the problem, DARK CREATION? LOTRUAXE of BLOODSWORN knows how to pick 'em. He challenged JESSALIN of GREENWARDENS who is up by 21. Now was this a wise move? LOTRUAXE perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he was overcame by JESSALIN and ended up with 42 recognition points. I hate going to the effort of writing about the kind of fights that HOMUNCULUS gets in. He fights people like DEGALONIAN RUK, 15 points below. I thought HOMUNCULUS showed great skill and promise when he subdued DEGALONIAN RUK. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal! There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters to walk away, or not? Here's some advice: study your opponent, master many skills, fight dirty. Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt. The end of another Spyreport! That's cause for celebration in my book! Time for my medication, so I'll leave now.

West Indemos -- While I avenged the death of a great warrior, Xane Reaver, I learned one very important lesson; maybe I am not as skilled as I thought with the quarterstaff. We are well met. -- Slayver Degalonian Rok -- Please, do not be discouraged. Always remember, Homunculus, is made from the flesh of Nyarlathotep, the greatest of Dark Creations. -- Herbert P.L. West Cleaver -- That was very impressive. I had begun to think you a push-over. -- Herbert P.L. West Lotruaxe -- I take what you might call a professional interest in axes, but I don't recognize your brand. Surely that isn't actually STONE? How primitive. Going back to the roots, eh? But maybe, just maybe, a little too far back? -- Tree Shadow Butcher -- What is this, shoe leather? It SAYS "round steak," but it doesn't look round to ME. And who taught you to cut up a chicken? What the HECK kind of piece is this? And listen, if I wanted to eat your thumb, I'd have you cut if off, but it isn't even CLEAN, so get it off the scales! -- Jessalin Tender Loin -- Nope, can't do it in a no-stick skillet, gotta have at least a half- inch of fat to fry it up properly. Otherwise the breading is just blah. -- Patterson Pine Filet Mignon -- Very tasty, very tender. Not really manly, though. -- Hob L. D'Hoy Baby Back Ribs -- That's gross. -- Periwinkle Five-oh?
