                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail JHANS!  Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your 
deeds.  Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for 
MIDNIGHT GREMLINS, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 4 into 8th.  FUR YOUR EYES 
ONLY stable has parlayed this turn's 2-1-0 into a 4 space move up the rankings.  This 
brings them up to 4th place.  Good work, guys!  And let's see, REBUILD fought TAISHI 
CI and gained 17 points and contributed to STILLMATIC's 2-2-0.  RITA HAYBURNER has 
lost to 'WERD, falling 6 points, while helping make FUR YOUR EYES ONLY a 2-1-0 turn.  
Due to his absence and inability to defend the throne, ALOYSIUS THE BEAR has lost the 
title of Duelmaster.  We should ask KERN about the thrill of victory, and what being 
the new Duelmaster does for a warrior, he's now the one to ask.  Tell me, is nothing 
sacred?  I have heard from unimpeachable sources that Lucas Lounge uses trolls in 
their stew.  Talk about gristle!   
     The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more 
could a warrior ask of life?  Well, besides that.  DEVIATION has cause to stand tall, 
as they were JHANS' most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. 
And guess who avoided DEVIATION stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was ORDER.  
Anyone surprised?  The most challenged warrior this turn was 5440 OR FIGHT!'s warrior 
SPATHIC.  More fighters challenged it than challenged the Duelmaster!  Tsk, tsk, tsk. 
MASUIMI MANX, does your manager know you're challenging down 17 points to fight 
SPATHIC from 5440 OR FIGHT!?  I thought challenges were for warriors, not cowards 
looking for easy wins.  MASUIMI MANX defeated SPATHIC, is nothing sacred?  GRAB THE 
BULL of PORN IN A BARN had better have a good reason for challenging down 10 points 
in a challenge which he won.  I thought GRAB THE BULL showed great skill and promise 
when he won victory over CAO CAO.  All right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and 
shave it close?  We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their 
enemies.  You know who you are; and it's considered rude.   
     Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the 
sweetest.  Well, I'm burning daylight here in JHANS and I've a long road ahead of me. 
Happy Trails.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the Scribe

All -- I wasn't sure Jhans would come back from the brink of irrelevance but I am
pleasantly surprised!  We're up to 13 teams and a Runner up is our duelmaster.  Not
bad at all. -- Mordraith

AA Boys -- Welcome back.  I wish my team was in better shape to give you a proper
welcome, I sadly left the coffers pretty bare when I left all those years ago. --
Mordraith, 5440 or Fight!

Kern -- Can't blame me for trying... -- Skirn

All -- Why are so many of you itching for the grave?  I was dead once and it wasn't
much fun at all... -- 'Werd

Eartha Kitten -- Unfortunately I see a lot of fights like that in D.D.'s future... --
