                                      SPY REPORT

     Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in ILLIS this turn, and let's start 
with a look at some of the teams.  It seems the training can make the difference, as 
BASHAHOLICS ANON is pushed out of top team by ISLANDERS, who came from 2nd with a 
4-1-0 this turn.  NEXUS 5 stable has parlayed this turn's 1-2-0 into a 3 space move 
up the rankings.  This brings them up to 3rd place.  Good work, guys!  The ISLANDERS 
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, HARBOR SEAL fought LEE'S REVENGE 
and gained 18 points and contributed to ISLANDERS' 4-1-0.  HELLPOP has lost to HULA 
MIA, falling 12 points, while helping make NEXUS 5 a 1-2-0 turn.  Due to his absence 
and inability to defend the throne, OCEAN SPRAY has lost the title of Duelmaster.  
And not without some honor, JUST ONE IS OK now claims the title and throne of 
Duelmaster of ILLIS.  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?   
     The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more 
could a warrior ask of life?  Well, besides that.  IMPROVED ILLUSION has cause to 
stand tall, as they were ILLIS' most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a 
team to beat.  And avoiding IMPROVED ILLUSION more than any other team we find 
BASHAHOLICS ANON.  ILLIS, 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 ILLIS has 
more dishwashers per capita that fighters?  Just thought I'd ask...   
     Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the 
sweetest.  Well, I'm burning daylight here in ILLIS and I've a long road ahead of me. 
Happy Trails.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the Scribe
