                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail ROCANIS!  Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your 
deeds.  It seems the training can make the difference, as ELEVENTH HOUR is pushed out 
of top team by BAD APPLES, who came from 3rd with a 4-1-1 this turn.  And let's see, 
HAWTHORN fought MAGE'S APPRENTICE and gained 15 points and contributed to BAD APPLES' 
4-1-1.  Due to his absence and inability to defend the throne, MEABEER has lost the 
title of Duelmaster.  We should ask FORLUITHA about the thrill of victory, and what 
being the new Duelmaster does for a warrior, she's now the one to ask.  Can someone 
confirm a rumor for me?  I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at 
Mylar's until they win.  Maybe?   
     He who challenges well, fights well.  He who avoids without cause, shall lose 
for good reasons.  My mama told me that one.   
     A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once.  Wise men know this to 
be true.  A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or 
hide when the fight is over.  Consider well.   
     Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe.  Dare 
to fight bravely.  Always good to rest in ROCANIS, but never good to wear out my 
welcome.  Look for me in future turns.  Until you see my quill in ROCANIS again, 
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

Loveable Larry -- Oh, you are not.  You're a total pill.  A thug through and through.
-- Buck Fever

Mr Thug -- I don't see why you can't keep your kids in order.  They're rude! --
Sourcrab

Nalenthu -- I might have been taken in, but Word Has Gone Out!  We are WARNED!  The
Minions of Chthulu are everywhere, and you are almost certainly one! -- Forluitha
P.S.  A wise man once told me that the only true philanthropist was a cannibal.
Very suspicious, the light that puts on you.

Francis Thug -- When I first saw you, I thought, "This is a mistake, this guy can't
be a thug.  He looks regular."  Then you started in, and darned if you weren't a thug
after all. -- Hawthorn

Stupid Beggar. -- Malus s'Prout

20 April 2007
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
