                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail NORTH FORK!  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 LAND OF OZ, whose 0-2-0 this turn dropped them by 8 into 11th.  FRAYED SANITY 
stable has parlayed this turn's 3-2-1 into a 7 space move up the rankings.  This 
brings them up to 7th place.  Good work, guys!  The DARQUE FORCES guild has had a 
4-1-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future.  You never know where this kind 
of thing can lead.  And let's see, ANGEL'S ENVY fought FLETCHER and gained 24 points 
and contributed to 2129 BOURBON ST's 2-3-0.  FLETCHER has lost to ANGEL'S ENVY, 
falling 18 points, while helping make BOOK OF THOMAS a 3-2-0 turn.  JUHR ROCKFIST 
challenged for the Duelmastership this turn, attempting to dethrone ERRATA!'s 
warrior.  And not without some honor, JUHR ROCKFIST now claims the title and throne 
of Duelmaster of NORTH FORK.  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 DARQUE FORCES stable was the most 
avoided team this turn.  Come on NORTH FORK, what are you afraid of?  And guess who 
avoided DARQUE FORCES stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was TIMELY HEROES.  
Anyone surprised?  The most challenged warrior this turn was TIMELY HEROES' warrior 
BARBARELLA.  More fighters challenged her than challenged the Duelmaster!  In a brave 
attempt, ARCHELIUS from WHITE WOLVES challenged up 18 points to fight NEMESIS PRIME 
from the DARQUE FORCES stable.  ARCHELIUS perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he 
was beat by NEMESIS PRIME and ended up with 11 recognition points.   
     A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once.  Wise men know this to 
be true.  SO CLOSE! must have surprised FRAYED SANITY this turn, after they sent it 
to the Dark Arena, but the Dark Arena couldn't hold it!  SEABLOOM has departed NORTH 
FORK, leaving FRAYED SANITY without their 14-22-0 warrior.  Question, just what was 
his team doing at the taverns last night?  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.  It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your swords 
sharp and your hammers heavy.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- 
Alarond the Scribe
