SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
ZUWAYZA brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Later days, TEAM CHAOS, since JAGUAR
WARRIORS took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. FAMOUS STONERS
turned their 3-2-0 turn into a 2nd place rank in the listings this turn. Any better
than this, and you get put on hit lists. Now let's all watch JAGUAR WARRIORS' heads
swell from their 3-1-0 this turn. Haa ha ha ha! Big shots, big talk, big deal. Of
course, we're all terribly impressed to see HOT ROD II win a fight and gain 15
points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, TIMES beat TIBERIUS and TIBERIUS lost 3 points. You're
breakin' my heart. And if variety is the spice of life, ZUWAYZA may be getting
bland, as GIMME SOME SUGAR stays top dog in the city. The Drunken Ox, humph! I've
tasted better ale at mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From ZUWAYZA's trash
dumps?
My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start
talking.' I loved that woman. ZUWAYZA, I am losing what little hope I had in you.
THE MAGNIFICENT MAGS the most avoided team? What insult will suffice, I cannot say.
And it looks like TEAM CHAOS avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would
be losers, if you ask me. Hmph. Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, VENENOSO was this
turn's most challenged warrior. Watch that ego swell, sports fans. Now here's guts
and stupidity all rolled into one, SOLSTICE challenged up 28 to take on VENENOSO of
JAGUAR WARRIORS. Well, ok, the upstart knave (where've I heard that before?) won
this match and gained 22 points to boot! Ha ha ha, VENENOSO. I guess I can give a
little credit to AMATUS JUSTAS of TEAM CHAOS for challenging up by 21 to SERRA
ACARAL. AMATUS JUSTAS lost to get 13 points of recognition.
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for ZUWAYZA's
morgue. More variety. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is
developing these kinds of weapons?
I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for
an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Well, I've had enough of this
drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. I see
the crowds are getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens

Gimme Some Sugar -- You're picking on me! Well, no more! I'm on vacation. See you
on the other side. -- Matarse Fury
Solstice -- Good defenses, but not enough. -- Venenoso
Black Belt -- I have no belts. Explain? -- Serra Acaral
Amatus Justas -- Emygdia is not worth you bloodfeud attempts. -- Akasai Chin
Marco Titanius -- I'm starting to look bad. That's not good. -- Elemi Triangle
Amatus Justas -- Yes, yes. Master looks at me then at the Dark Arena. -- Serra
Acaral
Jack Hamma -- The things you did to my chariot are outrageous! Tearing up the road
like that when you KNOW I'm going to be coming along it at top speed--you did it on
purpose, didn't you? There should be a law! -- Hot Rod
Pete Moss -- Why do you have plants growing all over you? Ferns and things, euwh,
ferns are so CHAOTIC. I sincerely hope that this is not the "New Trend" for this
year. We don't need a lot of chaotic ferns here. -- Times, concerned over the
ecological issues
I suppose I could be said to have "captured" an orc. In a manner of speaking. I
flew too low over an orc on the beach--and what, I ask, was he DOING on that beach,
anyway?--and he grabbed the undercarriage and was hauled away. He screamed a lot,
which served him right. He kept kicking and struggling, which maid it very hard to
keep the plan in trim. -- Flight Journal
I will not accept ads from Dangerous Criminals! I suppose he's trying to sell his,
ah, what do they call it? Swag, that's it. He wants to sell his swag because the
Userous Merchants won't give him enough for it. Well, he's going to have to find
some other place to advertise it! -- Nifty Nickel, taking a stand on principle
Serra Acaral -- You are not without promise, young woman, but you're in too much of a
hurry. Yes, it will serve you SOMETIMES, but you will be better and more reliably
served by a slower pace. By waiting, as the Kung-Fu Masters say, for fullness,
however you wish to interpret "fullness" in the context of the matter at hand. --
Black Belt
Anicetus Ennius -- Ah, yes, killing people would be a good beginning, because the fat
found around the hearts of the Unbelieving is the best palm-grease to be had. --
Trenj Zakhlat, arena handicapper and deacon of Kjarran
P.S. That would be Nekkhaj, the arena maintenance foreman, with the cheetos. He has
perverted tastes.
