                                      SPY REPORT

     Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in MALCORN this turn, and let's start 
with a look at some of the teams.  It seems the training can make the difference, as 
VC RULES is pushed out of top team by RAINBOW CONNECTION, who came from 3rd with a 
3-2-0 this turn.  The DARK CREATION guild has had a 4-1-1 turn and deserves to be 
watched in the future.  You never know where this kind of thing can lead.  And let's 
see, GOLDEN DREAM fought MASTER DARQUE and gained 19 points and contributed to 
WRETCHED HORDE's 1-0-0.  MASTER DARQUE has lost to GOLDEN DREAM, falling 16 points, 
while helping make VC RULES a 2-2-0 turn.  The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster 
have failed, and STARIEL remains MALCORN's top warrior for another turn.  Can someone 
confirm a rumor for me?  I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at 
The Victory Tavern until they win.  Maybe?   
     Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' 
Inscrutable, but true.  I also notice that the STARBASE 5 stable was the most avoided 
team this turn.  Come on MALCORN, what are you afraid of?  And guess who avoided 
STARBASE 5 stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was VC RULES.  Anyone surprised?   
     We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and 
shave it close?  We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their 
enemies.  You know who you are; and it's considered rude.   
     Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe.  Dare 
to fight bravely.  Well, I'm burning daylight here in MALCORN and I've a long road 
ahead of me.  Happy Trails.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- 
Alarond the Scribe
