                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
MALCORN brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Gee, I'm impressed, a 3-1-0 is nice, 
but don't get cocky, DR. SEUSS, the Fates teach humility, and the Fates are proud.  
Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see THE GRINCH win a fight and gain 15 
points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, THE GRINCH beat PERIWINKLE and PERIWINKLE lost 12 
points.  You're breakin' my heart.  Looks like MALCORN has some guts at least, 
CHARISMATIC the Duelmaster was this turn's most-challenged warrior.  SLAYVER 
challenged MALCORN's Duelmaster for a shot at the throne.  And it's out with the old, 
in with the new, as SLAYVER takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old 
Duelmaster.  Heh, heh.  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, MALCORN?   
     Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.  
STARBASE 5, 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 CREATION.  Ha ha ha ha!  Now 
look at this.  INDEMOS challenged down 20 against GREENWARDENS' PATTERSON PINE.  What 
a weasel!  Question now is, will MALCORN accept this sort of tacky behavior?  INDEMOS 
beating PATTERSON PINE.  The insult, the....yech!  I guess I can give a little credit 
to VAREKAI of DARK CREATION for challenging up by 23 to WHIRLAWAY.  VAREKAI was slain 
to get 79 points of recognition.   
     Death and Taxes.  The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience.  Let's 
see if anyone's dead or dying.  And what a stunning loss we have here, boys and 
girls, VAREKAI of DARK CREATION has added the final loss to hers 14-10-0.  Tee hee!  
Seriously now, is it really honorable for WHIRLAWAY from TRIPLE CROWN to kill VAREKAI 
and give DARK CREATION the chance to bloodfeud?  Mmmm, could be.  We're all going to 
die in the end, so why worry if the fate catches up with you sooner that later?   
     What does the MALCORN arena have in common with the inns?  It's just as 
comfortable to sleep in either place.  Ha ha ha ha!  Phlllt!  Just had to do that 
before I leave the fine city of MALCORN.  I feel much better now.  Paste this one in 
your scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens

Varekai -- Ah, I see what you mean about "dark creation."  I was fighting you, I had
the upper hand!  And then you created something, a turn-around, I suppose, and
suddenly it all went dark.  And, obviously, I lost.  Sneaky.  Effective, but sneaky.
-- Jessalin
P.S.  Can you teach me to do that?

The Grinch -- Yes, well, it wasn't MY Christmas, so ask me if I care? -- Tree Shadow
P.S.  Okay, maybe I do.  It's the principle.  You shouldn't steal.

Yertle the Turtle -- Oh, good, you're a golem.  If you'd been a real, born turtle
that big and that nasty, I'd've been worried. -- Periwinkle
P.S.  Yes, some born turtles are that big.  And some are that nasty.  But usually not
both in the same turtle.  What a nightmare that would be!

Indemos -- I don't know how you do it, but suddenly you seemed to be double.  Every
time I turned around, there you were again, and usually hitting me.  I didn't like
it, you know. -- Patterson Pine
P.S.  Maybe I'll drop cones on your head.

Green Eggs & Ham -- Euwh.  That's enough to make anyone sick. -- Hob L. D'Hoy

Our congratulations to Charismatic!  We knew you could do it. -- Jorja and the
Greenwardens

All -- I support Vendetta Cartel's observation of The Dark Knights!  If war is
declared on V.C. by The Dark Knights, then war is also declared on The Dark Knights
of the Desolate Empire by The Avengers of Light!  We have been quietly awaiting such
a chance to expose ourselves (all interested parties contact me c/o The Barbarians:
DM 31, Attn: Timothias)!  Come, Vendetta Cartel, let us show these broke-down
"Knights" what true warriors are! -- Gemini Goldphoenix, Overlord of The Avengers of
Light
