SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
ILLIS brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Later days, ISLANDERS, since KILLER
BLUES took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. KILLER BLUES turned
their 4-1-1 turn into a 1st place rank in the listings this turn. Any better than
this, and you get put on hit lists. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see I
CAN QUIT win a fight and gain 19 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, HARBOR SEAL beat JUBEI
and JUBEI lost 3 points. You're breakin' my heart. Looks like ILLIS has some guts
at least, SHOO-CHA the Duelmaster was this turn's most-challenged warrior. RAIGEKI
challenged ILLIS' Duelmaster for a shot at the throne. And it's out with the old, in
with the new, as RAIGEKI takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old
Duelmaster. Heh, heh. The Welcome Wench, humph! I've tasted better ale at
mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From ILLIS' trash dumps?
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.
IMPROVED ILLUSION, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were this turn's most avoided
team. Care to know who is the most afraid of you? And who led the way in this mass
act of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was NEXUS 5. Ha ha ha ha! I
guess I can give a little credit to AZA CHORN of NEXUS 5 for challenging up by 25 to
OIL SPILL. AZA CHORN won to get 78 points of recognition.
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines
through use. Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.
I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for
an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Well, I've had enough of this
drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. Glad
to see the back of this place-- Snide Clemens
