SPY REPORT If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of CHIMLEVTAL brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Later days, AVENGERS, since MILITARY MAYHEM took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. MILITARY MAYHEM turned their 4-1-0 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 LUMUS NELP win a fight and gain 20 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, LUMUS NELP beat TERON GOREFIEND and TERON GOREFIEND lost 17 points. You're breakin' my heart. KATANA challenged COLONEL O'CORN for CHIMLEVTAL's Title this turn, and guess what happened? And if variety is the spice of life, CHIMLEVTAL may be getting bland, as KATANA stays top dog in the city. 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, CHIMLEVTAL? Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys. What's the big D? NUMBERS GAME was the most avoided team? Bunch of lily livered... grumble... mumble... curse... And it looks like MILITARY MAYHEM avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph. AMUR was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the DM insulted or feared? Heh, heh. And we have QUEEN OF THE NORTH in a challenge, going down 10 points for the fight. Guess what? I thought QUEEN OF THE NORTH showed great skill and promise when she overcame NORISON ROSE. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal! Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for CHIMLEVTAL's morgue. More variety. Ya gotta go sometime, and COLONEL O'CORN's time was this time. Hmmm, not a bad fighter, had he lived... (what? me pity?). I can't say as I'm proud to find out that AVENGERS' KATANA has killed COLONEL O'CORN from MILITARY MAYHEM. I can say I wish MILITARY MAYHEM good luck in their bloodfeud. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is developing these kinds of weapons? What does the CHIMLEVTAL arena have in common with the inns? It's just as comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Well, I've had enough of this drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather.
