                                      SPY REPORT

     Well, what are you looking at, MURSKA?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Later days, BLITZKRIEG, since LOST CAUSE 
took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news.  Of course, we're all 
terribly impressed to see TOM THUMB win a fight and gain 19 points, terribly.  Tsk, 
tsk, TOM THUMB beat GWALCHMAI and GWALCHMAI lost 9 points.  You're breakin' my heart. 
Due to absence, and inability to defend the throne, INANNA has lost the Title of 
Duelmaster.  Start setting that alarm earlier!  And it's out with the old, in with 
the new, as TOM THUMB 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, MURSKA?   
     Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.  
MURSKA, I am losing what little hope I had in you.  BLITZKRIEG the most avoided team? 
What insult will suffice, I cannot say.  And it looks like THE BEARS avoided them the 
most this turn.  What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me.  Hmph.   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for MURSKA's 
morgue.  More variety.  Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is 
developing these kinds of weapons?   
     There's got to be a better place in MURSKA to get a drink than The Fire Dragon 
Inn!  Any suggestions?  Just wait 'till next time I show up here, I won't be so nice! 
So nyaaah!  Glad to see the back of this place-- Snide Clemens

     Has anyone seen it in print that the "Goat" is leaving the "Cartel"?  There were
some diplos to the effect of a special branch of the Cartel being formed, like secret
societies, governmental agencies and alliances certain agendas are developed.  To
obtain the desired effect of any agenda only key personnel can be used.  The "Goat"
is "Cartel" so until you see it with me announcing that I am not Cartel, remember,
"The Agenda of the Core is for you to fight for."  I hope this stops the confusion.
