SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
STORMCROWE brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. AVID FANS turned their 2-3-0 turn
into a 3rd place rank in the listings this turn. Any better than this, and you get
put on hit lists. Now let's all watch ANTISOCIALS' heads swell from their 3-0-0 this
turn. Haa ha ha ha! Big shots, big talk, big deal. Of course, we're all terribly
impressed to see GATE KEEPER win a fight and gain 29 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk,
GATE KEEPER beat MAULY TOV and MAULY TOV lost 10 points. You're breakin' my heart.
Due to absence, and inability to defend the throne, JUICE BOX has lost the Title of
Duelmaster. Start setting that alarm earlier! And it's out with the old, in with
the new, as THE BRUTE SQUAD takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old
Duelmaster. Heh, heh. The Shadow's Fountain, humph! I've tasted better ale at
mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From STORMCROWE's trash dumps?
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.
STORMCROWE, I am losing what little hope I had in you. KNIGHT BREED the most avoided
team? What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And it looks like AVID FANS avoided
them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph.
YAMATO was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the DM
insulted or feared? Heh, heh. I guess I can give a little credit to PEANUT SALESMAN
of AVID FANS for challenging up by 19 to YAMATO. PEANUT SALESMAN lost to get 64
points of recognition.
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines
through use. Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.
What does the STORMCROWE arena have in common with the inns? It's just as
comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Just wait 'till next time I show
up here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah! Paste this one in your scrapbooks, you'll
need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens

NAME CHANGE-O-RAMA
The gladiator known as Pretty in Pink Johnson came into the guildhouse in a
state of excitement that sat oddly on his large battered face. "There are goats on
the lawn outside the Commission office!"
His teammate Slinky Silver raised a languid eyebrow. "So?"
"That means a name-change coming! I can finally change my name to Pinkerton and
get some respect!"
"As badly as you fight, who will respect you?" his teammate asked.
"With a new name, I will fight better, just wait, you'll see. Because I will
respect myself!"
Slinky shook his head. "Circular reasoning won't help. You need more
managerial attention."
"If my name isn't embarrassing, I'll GET more attention.
Slinky shook his head again. "You're expecting a lot of a couple of goats that
may have been hired to manage the landscaping."
