                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
VEASTIAN brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Of course, we're all terribly 
impressed to see KINJURIN win a fight and gain 14 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, 
VETERAN MERCENARY beat ETTORE HSIDAR and ETTORE HSIDAR lost 10 points.  You're 
breakin' my heart.  Our last turn's Duelmaster has lost, folks, lost to KUNG-FU 
MASTER, and NESTOR BANE has made the way for a new Duelmaster!  With NESTOR BANE 
clearing the throne, TERMAGANT VOTARY of DRACO EL TANNJN takes a proud seat as 
VEASTIAN's new Duelmaster, by virtue of recognition points.  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, 
VEASTIAN?   
     He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.  MEDAL 
OF HONOR 27, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were this turn's most avoided team. 
Care to know who is the most afraid of you?  And who led the way in this mass act of 
cowardice?  Let's see, well, whatcha know?  It was TERMAGANT VOTARY.  Ha ha ha ha!  
SJORDHAL was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster.  Now was the DM 
insulted or feared?  Heh, heh.   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for VEASTIAN's 
morgue.  More variety.  We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if the fate 
catches up with you sooner that later?   
     I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for 
an epee.  Forgive me for writing with a dagger.  Well, I've had enough of this 
drivel, and I'm sure you have too.  Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather.  Glad 
to see the back of this place-- Snide Clemens

Dolt!  Dimwit!  Why are you training that?  Idiot!  Moron! -- Toranj

Draco El Tannjn -- Ah, yes, I just BET you were out for a death match!  You votaries
are so hot to kill.  (sigh)  Well, we each do as we must, and at least you did NOT
kill me.  I'd hoped for more than one skill, though. -- Tirniellis

Ettore Hsidar -- I can TOO kill a houseplant!  ANY houseplant!  Geraniums quail at my
approach, and ferns weep bitter tears. -- Kuressa d'Gen

Soldier 3 -- (smugly)  At least THAT fight went correctly! -- Sjordhal, astonished to
have another win

Soldier 2 -- What is it with all you nameless men?  By what I hear in the Gossip
Mills, you're all over the place.  How can anyone hope to tell you apart?  Or is that
part of the nefarious plan? -- Kinjurin

All -- I've been...out of circulation for the last couple of months, and my lists
are not up to date.  If you've announced a manager name, a new alliance, or changed
a manager name or alliance since the middle of February, let me know in the ads, via
diplo, or in an e-mail (Sue (at) solberg-mathews (dot) com).  For that matter, if
you just want to make sure I've got things right, you can always do the same. -- The
Saint, keeper of lists
