                                      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.  Of course, we're all terribly 
impressed to see LOUIS OHIA win a fight and gain 22 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, 
LOUIS OHIA beat ST. RIKER and ST. RIKER lost 19 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  
And if variety is the spice of life, VALAMANTIS may be getting bland, as STRIKE 3 
stays top dog in the city.  I'm not in a very good mood today, but why am I telling 
you this?  You want to know what's new, don't you, VALAMANTIS?   
     He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.  What's 
the big D?  FACERS was the most avoided team?  Bunch of lily livered... grumble... 
mumble... curse...  And it looks like CM - SCORPIO avoided them the most this turn.  
What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me.  Hmph.   
     Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and 
gone, and get to see if their team cared.  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.  I see 
the crowds are getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens

Ah, well.  Three-two for us, and the wins were all over standbys.  Okay, we can live
with that.  If it weren't for the standbys, Jorja'd have to do us real strategies,
and I wouldn't want to bet my life on THAT. -- Oder Quin
