                                      SPY REPORT

     Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in XOCHITHLAN this turn, and let's 
start with a look at some of the teams.  It seems the training can make the 
difference, as SCUTUM is pushed out of top team by BASH BROS BABY, who came from 3rd 
with a 2-2-0 this turn.  On their very first turn, BIONIC MAN had a 3-1-1, and with 
this kind of luck or skill, should do well.  Welcome to XOCHITHLAN.  And let's see, 
ZEB ARN fought LIFE CHANGES and gained 21 points and contributed to THE MIDDLE WAY's 
2-3-0.  LIFE CHANGES has lost to ZEB ARN, falling 19 points, while helping make BASH 
BROS BABY a 2-2-0 turn.  Due to his absence and inability to defend the throne, 
MANILA has lost the title of Duelmaster.  And all eyes were on ALFOR BEACHWOOD this 
turn as he ascended to the throne of Duelmaster.  XOCHITHLAN has a new victor!  Can 
someone confirm a rumor for me?  I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do 
dishes at The Swinging Aardvark until they win.  Maybe?   
     Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' 
Inscrutable, but true.  I also notice that the UNHOLY AVENGERS stable was the most 
avoided team this turn.  Come on XOCHITHLAN, what are you afraid of?  And guess who 
avoided UNHOLY AVENGERS stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was BASH BROS BABY.  
Anyone surprised?   
     A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once.  Wise men know this to 
be true.  This is not good to see.  Why pray tell has GAMMA SCUTI been sent to the 
Dark Arena by SCUTUM?  And why with a 2-0-0 record??  Is it really true that 
XOCHITHLAN has more dishwashers per capita that fighters?  Just thought I'd ask...   
     Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe.  Dare 
to fight bravely.  Always good to rest in XOCHITHLAN, but never good to wear out my 
welcome.  Look for me in future turns.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to 
paper-- Alarond the Scribe
