SPY REPORT
Good day, in NORTH FORK a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets
poor. So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. It seems the training can
make the difference, as LAZY BOYZ is pushed out of top team by BIG LAKE GROOVE, who
came from 4th with a 5-0-0 this turn. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for
there are sorrows to drown for THE PURGE 209, whose 1-3-0 this turn dropped them by 4
into 15th. SATAN'S MINIONS stable has parlayed this turn's 2-0-0 into a 4 space move
up the rankings. This brings them up to 11th place. Good work, guys! The BIG LAKE
GROOVE guild has had a 5-0-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You
never know where this kind of thing can lead. And let's see, EMERALD CITY fought
APEFACE and gained 21 points and contributed to LAND OF OZ's 1-1-0. ONSLAUGHT has
lost to JUHR ROCKFIST, falling 15 points, while helping make DARQUE FORCES a 1-4-0
turn. Defending his title for another turn, THE CHAMPION kept FAST FOOD's warrior,
CLUB COFFEE, from claiming the throne. Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear
the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Welcome Wench until they
win. Maybe?
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. I also notice that the WHITE MAIMERS stable was the most
avoided team this turn. Come on NORTH FORK, what are you afraid of? And avoiding
WHITE MAIMERS more than any other team we find BIG LAKE GROOVE. NORTH FORK, are we
going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? The most challenged warrior this
turn was WHITE WOLVES' warrior MAXIMUS. More fighters challenged him than challenged
the Duelmaster! In a brave attempt, BARBARELLA from TIMELY HEROES challenged up 18
points to fight MAXIMUS from the WHITE WOLVES stable. BARBARELLA perhaps got hers
just desserts, seeing as she was bested by MAXIMUS and ended up with 33 recognition
points.
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? Had I not seen it, it would be hard to believe. ACE REPORTER was
sent to the Dark Arena and lived to tell about it! Makes you think, no? ADULT SWIM
made what looks to be a tough decision this turn, as they sent VASH THE STAMPEDE,
with a record of 5-6-0, to VASH THE STAMPEDE death. Farewell, his. The grave that
ERRATA! had dug for DA4 may yet be filled with the body of STONE GOLEM. Seldom are
the likes of this to be seen. DA4 lives still! A brave warrior does not carry a red
shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. Always good to rest in NORTH FORK, 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
