SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, CALEAM? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Now keep the taverns open late tonight,
for there are sorrows to drown for VENOM, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 4
into 8th. Ha! HEADBANGERS turned their 5-0-0 turn into a 2nd place rank in the
listings this turn. Any better than this, and you get put on hit lists. Of course,
we're all terribly impressed to see WOOLLY LOCO win a fight and gain 31 points,
terribly. Tsk, tsk, BORDERLINE beat OINGA and OINGA lost 9 points. You're breakin'
my heart. Due to absence, and inability to defend the throne, BLUE RING OCTOPUS has
lost the Title of Duelmaster. Start setting that alarm earlier! And it's out with
the old, in with the new, as R'AKA takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the
old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. 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, CALEAM?
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward. CALEAM,
I am losing what little hope I had in you. SHERWOOD FOREST the most avoided team?
What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And it looks like HEADBANGERS avoided them
the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph. LITTLE
NUGGET was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the DM
insulted or feared? Heh, heh. And we have POINDEXTER in a challenge, going down 13
points for the fight. Guess what? I thought POINDEXTER showed great skill and
promise when he won victory over SAILOR JUPITER. All right, so I slept through it!
Big deal!
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. And one more turn will show if SHERWOOD FOREST can
successfully bloodfeud that elusive BORDERLINE over SAILOR MARS. 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. Phlllt! Just had to do that before
I leave the fine city of CALEAM. I feel much better now. Paste this one in your
scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens

Votes from the Asylum -- So here I am, checking out the old place, and I run across
these two drooling idiots. And while this is nothing new in the asylum, these looked
particularly bad. Off you go, go play with the nice monsters. Let's see what these
new inmates can do. -- Sablon-O-Vlad, mgr. Headbangers
Menagerie -- Headbanger to the DA? Cute, real cute. -- SOV
Blue Ring Octupus -- That's the kind of welcome back I like! -- Deadman
Golden Canyon -- Do you just pull numbers out of a bag and scribble them down or
what? -- SOV
Trouble -- You see; the trouble with trouble is it usually starts off as fun. Nice
fight. -- Poindexter
Alegeria -- So how are you part of a menagerie? You don't look like a beast, even if
you fight like one. (A furious beast, at that. Ouch!) -- Little Nugget
Fire -- I've been burned! You are hot, man. -- Bob from Bodie, not original, but at
least I spoke
Sailor Moon -- You're right, a career error. You should go back to sailing. --
Sarina
Sapper -- If it's maple, I won't mind. I do like maple. -- Koribus
Galileo -- It sure felt like rocks. A big one and a little one. -- Bob from Bodie
Notes from the Asylum: Well, well, these new inmates show some fight! But Grinch
and Poindexter had better start to win or it'll be a little fighting by torchlight.
-- Sablon-O-Vlad, mgr. Headbangers
Blue Ring Octopus -- Good fights. Best two out of three? -- Deadman
Kate -- Check out the team ID#. We're old, old, old. -- Sablon
Ichabod -- Same to you. It is good to be back. Just like the old days. -- Sablon
What is up with all this "Sailor" crap? -- SOV
30 April 2003
All -- Remember to put your arena number on your strategy sheets. Strategies turned
in without an arena number run the risk of missing the turn. -- NAIEI
