                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.  
I doubt FRATSFA will ever be the same.  And let's see, WEAPON DELTA III fought SOKAR 
and gained 14 points and contributed to PHOENIX FORCE III's 1-0-0.  SOKAR has lost to 
WEAPON DELTA III, falling 10 points, while helping make INCARNATIONS a 0-2-0 turn.  
Defending his title for another turn, BANDED ACOLYTE kept MIDDLE WAY 8's warrior, 
XAVIER YANG, from claiming the throne.  By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I 
saw last night, cramped under the table at The Victory Tavern?   
     He who challenges well, fights well.  He who avoids without cause, shall lose 
for good reasons.  My mama told me that one.  PHOENIX FORCE III has cause to stand 
tall, as they were FRATSFA's most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team 
to beat.  And avoiding PHOENIX FORCE III more than any other team we find IRON 
CATHEDRAL.  FRATSFA, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?   
     The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.  
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed.  Is it really true that FRATSFA 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.  It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your 
swords sharp and your hammers heavy.  Until you see my quill in FRATSFA again, 
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

These may be late, but we'll hope not. -- Jorja

Banded Acolyte -- Quite right, take the title on a win rather than by default. -- 
Ferny Ross
P.S.  You're welcome for the skills.  I won't be needing them.  I'm going to be a 
vintner.

The Chardinee is stingy.  No skills.  But he lost nicely. -- Tennessee Smith

I don't see why being a high elf allows him to put on airs of being a 'Noble' 
Assassin.  Ain't no such animal if you ask me. -- Xavier Yang
P.S.  No skills, either.

That concubine was too skilled to be virginal.  She probably moonlights at the Flower 
Shoppe. -- Xeno Yole

Zinc Prebster -- That galvanizing makes it hare to damage you.  I suppose that's the 
whole point. -- Umberto Vine
