                                      SPY REPORT

     Well, what are you looking at, ALJAFIR?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  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 THIS IS A TEST win a fight and gain 7 points, 
terribly.  Tsk, tsk, AMBITIOUS GUARD beat BREAKING SILENCE and BREAKING SILENCE lost 
9 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  Due to absence, and inability to defend the 
throne, T.G.I. FLOYD'S has lost the Title of Duelmaster.  Start setting that alarm 
earlier!  And it's out with the old, in with the new, as MINDCRIME takes the Title 
and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster.  Heh, heh.  Kickbacks and bribes, 
kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think some of these guys win their fights?  
Skill?  Ha!   
     My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start 
talking.' I loved that woman.  ALJAFIR, I am losing what little hope I had in you.  
ALL THINGS FLOYD the most avoided team?  What insult will suffice, I cannot say.  And 
it looks like NERDS RULE! avoided them the most this turn.  What a pack of would be 
losers, if you ask me.  Hmph.   
     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.   
     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

Mean Nurse -- I've met a few like you during my life, and I've always wanted to deal
death to you for your nasty behavior.  Coming up at the middle of the night and
waking me up, "Just to make sure you're still alive."  Bah!  Of course I'm still
alive, being alive is what I *DO*. -- Korinsar of Shalgur, Dark Champion of Aljafir

DA1 was too soft.  I want something with more chew. -- one of the Wurm Kin of the
North

Breaking Silence -- You FIEND!  Trying to make me foreswear myself but the
application of pain, it was a HORRIBLE thing to do! -- Mejandr, member in good
standing of the Nameless Cult

Wtf -- Thanks.  A coin now and then is always good to have. -- Kellechi the Dwarf,
Determined Beggar

This Is a Test -- And may you flunk your final one!  You people never think that
beggars may have lives beyond what you see, families, friends, pleasures.  No!  Just
someone to beat up and kill. -- Lezhal Graybeard, Chief of Beggars for Aljafir
