                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
NIATOLI ISLAND brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Of course, we're all terribly 
impressed to see DIABOLICFIEND win a fight and gain 25 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, 
SUCCOTASH beat WRETCHEDMISERY and WRETCHEDMISERY lost 9 points.  You're breakin' my 
heart.  And if variety is the spice of life, NIATOLI ISLAND may be getting bland, as 
DEMONICHELLION 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, NIATOLI ISLAND?   
     Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.  
What's the big D?  VEGGIES was the most avoided team?  Bunch of lily livered... 
grumble... mumble... curse...  And who led the way in this mass act of cowardice?  
Let's see, well, whatcha know?  It was CHAOTICDISORDER.  Ha ha ha ha!  Ooh, I'm 
frightfully impressed, INFESTIX was this turn's most challenged warrior.  Watch that 
ego swell, sports fans.  Now look at this.  MALODOROUSREEK challenged down 17 against 
KLKASINO HAMMERZ's MAVERICK HAMMER.  What a weasel!  And sorry to say, MALODOROUSREEK 
won victory over MAVERICK HAMMER, 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.  And what a stunning loss we have here, boys and 
girls, STONE FACE HAMMER of KLKASINO HAMMERZ has added the final loss to his 15-11-0. 
Tee hee!  Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through use.  Certain 
nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.   
     There's got to be a better place in NIATOLI ISLAND to get a drink than The Don't 
Drop Inn!  Any suggestions?  Well, I've had enough of this drivel, and I'm sure you 
have too.  Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather.  Paste this one in your 
scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens

Wretchedmisery -- That was MY line. -- Tatharli
P.S.  How I felt, you know.

Stone Face Hammer -- It must be something about the arena.  I'm normally a friendly,
outgoing sort, but when I face you in the arena, I have this urge to see if I can
knock your nose off. -- Irinkesta

Malodorousreek -- (gag) -- Tyler

Bluffing Hammer -- Darn.  I called, and it wasn't a bluff after all. -- Thimbell

Ed. -- Sure, why not?  But not until after the F2F, because I won't have time till
then. -- the Scribe, making a note of "ice cream with swirls"
P.S.  Sounds chaotic, doesn't it?

     Maybe, but TASTY chaos. -- Ed.

Amendment for "Fratsfa's Quest for the Best!"
     Managers that have teams already established in Fratsfa need not have (3) three
warriors in the initiates.  FE will NOT be a factor.  Stables may be entered at any

     ***************************************************************************
     This in my invitation to all managers  who wish to prove their mettle against
managers from all over Alastari.  We have limited TP's in this contest to one a team
at a time.  We DO NOT want this contest to become a scum fest as many others have,
hence the Andorian arena.  Good luck to all who come to prove their skills.  "May
your enemies' blood flow freely" -- Dark Knight Toker, Desolate Empire Alliance
