                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
VALAMANTIS brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Later days, MIDDLE WAY 10, since 
THE BEARS took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news.  Of course, we're 
all terribly impressed to see BLUE BUTTERFLY win a fight and gain 13 points, 
terribly.  Tsk, tsk, KUNG-FU MASTER beat DARIMA FENN and DARIMA FENN lost 14 points.  
You're breakin' my heart.  And if variety is the spice of life, VALAMANTIS may be 
getting bland, as TRAIN WRECK stays top dog in the city.  Kickbacks and bribes, 
kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think some of these guys win their fights?  
Skill?  Ha!   
     My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start 
talking.' I loved that woman.  VALAMANTIS, I am losing what little hope I had in you. 
MIDDLE WAY 10 the most avoided team?  What insult will suffice, I cannot say.  And it 
looks like THE BEARS avoided them the most this turn.  What a pack of would be 
losers, if you ask me.  Hmph.  ALTA CHESS was challenged more times this turn than 
the Duelmaster.  Now was the DM insulted or feared?  Heh, heh.   
     Death and Taxes.  The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience.  Let's 
see if anyone's dead or dying.  Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave 
team is developing these kinds of weapons?   
     There's got to be a better place in VALAMANTIS to get a drink than Drunkard's 
Guild!  Any suggestions?  Phlllt!  Just had to do that before I leave the fine city 
of VALAMANTIS.  I feel much better now.  I see the crowds are getting restless, I 
must leave now-- Snide Clemens

Train Wreck -- So, are you going after wrecking ALL of us?  I suppose I can see the 
point, as you know that we, at least, will be there at the crossing.  But it hurts!
-- Darima Fenn

Bilbo -- Ah, but you're head and shoulders above your kind. -- Eb Gollu

Relentless -- I noticed. -- Alta Chess, not one for relenting either

Ah, Veteran Mercenary.  What, I wonder, did I do to deserve his unkindness?  After 
all, when I was working in the Infirmary I COULD have amputated his arm for that 
hangnail, but I didn't. -- Doc Felle

I'd heard they ran out of dwarves in Khalhums (too many shipped off to the arenas 
around Alastari, I suppose), but I hadn't realized it was this bad.  Ours isn't even 
a dwarf at all, much less from Khalhums. -- Bensi Durn

ATTENTION ALL YOU ALLIANCE-TYPE PEOPLE:
For the purposes of tourney newsletter alliance listings (when I am able to do them),
you may only be listed in ONE alliance.  In other words, you have to choose!  If you
are a part of Englebert's Alliance and Englebert's Alliance is "part" of Ruthrauf's
Alliance, I will list you EITHER as part of Englebert's Alliance OR as part of
Ruthrauf's Alliance, NOT both.  The default would be the top-level alliance,
Ruthrauf's, in this example.  If you'd rather be listed separately, let me know and I
will do so, but that will be the only listing you get. -- The Saint, keeper of ever-
more-complicated lists

The Company of Brothers (TCB) welcomes two new members to our alliance...Liam the
Goth and Buddy Lee.  We have no doubt that they will prove to be assets to our
alliance and the general dueling community. -- Baphomet, co-founder, T.C.B.
