SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
MORYA brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Later days, XYZ DECK, since BIG LAKE
PURE took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. BIG LAKE PURE turned
their 3-2-1 turn into a 1st 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
RESTRAINED CONTEMPT win a fight and gain 21 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, RESTRAINED
CONTEMPT beat MALORT and MALORT lost 18 points. You're breakin' my heart. Due to
absence, and inability to defend the throne, SPRAIN has lost the Title of Duelmaster.
Start setting that alarm earlier! And it's out with the old, in with the new, as THE
HIEROPHANT 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!
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward. MORYA,
I am losing what little hope I had in you. XYZ DECK the most avoided team? What
insult will suffice, I cannot say. And it looks like OTTO'S MECHANICS avoided them
the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph. Ooh, I'm
frightfully impressed, XZ-TANK CANNON was this turn's most challenged warrior. Watch
that ego swell, sports fans. I notice GIDREK THUMBTOE challenging down 25 points to
fight VAL VALINE, BIG LAKE PURE doubtless has some rotten excuse for such an insult
to honor. And sorry to say, GIDREK THUMBTOE dispatched VAL VALINE, leaving a bad
feeling with the crowd. I think exploitive snob is the term I'm looking for.
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. Now hey, I like to see a death as much as the next
guy, but hey XYZ DECK, whyja send SHINING ANGEL to the Dark Arena, look at his
record, huh? Bye bye, warrior, bye bye... VAL VALINE, a glorious 10-10-1 fighter,
has passed away. Gee, too bad OTTO'S MECHANICS. Seriously now, is it really
honorable for GIDREK THUMBTOE from BIG LAKE PURE to kill VAL VALINE and give OTTO'S
MECHANICS the chance to bloodfeud? Mmmm, could be. 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
