                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
SOLVEN brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Later days, KELLUMBO'S KIDS, since 
CONSPIRACY INC. took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news.  Middle of 
the road, PROJECT MAYHEM, middle of the road; you'll get no good words from me, until 
you get better, or worse.  Break a leg.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed to 
see THE SCORPION win a fight and gain 27 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, CLINT EASTWOOD 
beat ICE PICK and ICE PICK lost 14 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  Due to 
absence, and inability to defend the throne, BLIND ILLUSION has lost the Title of 
Duelmaster.  Start setting that alarm earlier!  And it's out with the old, in with 
the new, as DARRELL ISSA takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old 
Duelmaster.  Heh, heh.  The Victory Tavern, humph!  I've tasted better ale at 
mortuaries.  Where do they get this stuff?  From SOLVEN's trash dumps?   
     My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start 
talking.' I loved that woman.  SOLVEN, I am losing what little hope I had in you.  
KELLUMBO'S KIDS the most avoided team?  What insult will suffice, I cannot say.  And 
it looks like PROJECT MAYHEM avoided them the most this turn.  What a pack of would 
be losers, if you ask me.  Hmph.  TAX DEDUCTION was challenged more times this turn 
than the Duelmaster.  Now was the DM insulted or feared?  Heh, heh.  I suspect either 
a 21 will or a 21 ego on this one, but NO HURRY has challenged up by 41 in an attempt 
against DARRELL ISSA.  And sure, NO HURRY lost alright, but gained 4 recognition for 
his pains.  And pains they may indeed be!  Now look at this.  SCHWARZENEGGER 
challenged down 18 against THE REPUBLICANS' TAX DEDUCTION.  What a weasel!  
SCHWARZENEGGER was bested by TAX DEDUCTION!  Ok, SCHWARZENEGGER want to fight my 
grandmother next turn?  Huh?   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for SOLVEN's 
morgue.  More variety.  Gee, JUST CHILLIN, ain't it past due for sending WHAT UP Dark 
Arena?  What took ol' '18-7-3' so long?  Hope?  Ha ha aha ha!  And sending WHAT UP to 
the Dark Arena was supposed to be one of your better ideas, JUST CHILLIN?  Whoa!  
I'll even buy EASY BREEZE a drink tonight!  Anyone who can come back from the Dark 
Arena, I want to be on his good side!  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.  Just wait 'till next time I show up 
here, I won't be so nice!  So nyaaah!  Paste this one in your scrapbooks, you'll need 
the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens

Wow, I got invited to play with the big boys--I can't believe it.  I was so close to
death on so many occasions I never thought I would make it to get my invite.  Mr.
Freeze says I can have a couple of months off, I hope some of my stable mates can
join me by then.  Thanks to all of you and sorry for the ones I killed--accidents do
happen.  In closing all I can say is--WHAT UP.

Blind Illusion -- I can only figured that I rolled a one on that last save.  Go
figure.  Good for you.  Let's see if you can do it one last time. -- Snake Charmer

Tax Deduction -- I love it when a plan comes together.  You are no match for me. --
Lucias Clay

Cepacol -- Your name sounds an awful lot like something to do with a septic system.
Yuck. -- Schwarzenegger

The Lotus -- I could have sworn that's what Homeless Prince had said to do.  Perhaps
I missed something.  I'll go have to ask Bookie for a little help. -- Name Dropper

Brooks and Dunn -- More like five and done. -- Tammy

Judge -- Glad to see it was *my* turn to drop two losses on your head.  Oh, and what
was I thinking?  If you thought 2-3 was bad, that 0-5 last turn must have really
stung.   Kisses. -- Kellumbo

Judge -- I got ya twice this turn.  Feels good.  Maybe I can make a habit of it. --
Al Gore

Aemilia -- Bah! You still suck. -- Al Gore

Easy Breeze -- Change your name.  You aren't as easy as your name implies. -- Al Gore

C'mon, People!  Stop taking turns off!  We need every fighter to step up.  Hate
seeing so many good teams go inactive. -- Al Gore

Battle Royal 4
     The Battle Royal arena contests are one of the purest tests of manager skill
available. The rules are simple.  The scoring is simple.  The updates are live.  If
you would like to participate, simply get a team ready in Talcama in the next month
and announce in the personals that you're in.  The prize is bragging rights and
having your name along side previous winners (Doc Steele, Manray Frothingslosh, and
Manager).  It is a brutal contest, but it is a lot of fun!
     Basic rules:  No avoiding other contest teams.  Score = Wins + Kills - Losses.
Only fights against other BR teams count.  First team to 25 wins!
     BR4 begins in Talcama (DM 18) on turn 502, due on Jan 29, 2005.
     Visit http://www.geocities.com/assurnasir/br4 for more information.
