SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
ALJAFIR brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Later days, ALL THINGS FLOYD, since
QUEENSRYCHE took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. Of course,
we're all terribly impressed to see T.G.I. FLOYD'S win a fight and gain 11 points,
terribly. Tsk, tsk, MINDCRIME beat HURRICANE FLOYD and HURRICANE FLOYD lost 6
points. You're breakin' my heart. And if variety is the spice of life, ALJAFIR may
be getting bland, as LEAD BELLY 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,
ALJAFIR?
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.
QUEENSRYCHE, 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 NERDS RULE!. Ha ha ha ha!
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. A big yahoo goes out to LEAD BELLY this turn, for
revenging BODY OF MUSIC's bloodfeud against ALL THINGS FLOYD's warrior DREAM DATE
FLOYD. Heh, heh, heh. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through use.
Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.
What does the ALJAFIR 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 ALJAFIR. I feel much better now. I see the crowds
are getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens
