     Standbys, mostly.  In fact, it looked like most of the action was in the Dark

                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, warriors of DAL SHANG!  Once again I've been called out of retirement 
for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting.  What's with LINDIS TYL SARRO?  She 
actually beat DAL SHANG's CAPTIAN LENSAR, and walked away with 17 more points from 
the fight.  Major screwup at SAND DANCERS.  KALDAN TEN KARAN lost 1 points to 
NOCALLLISTEXEMPTION.  Some new strategies, perhaps?  Maybe KALDAN TEN KARAN will 
provide more easy wins...  I can barely restrain my enthusiam for SCRABBLE's 
outstanding member, Duelmaster XYLOID.  I suppose you want to hear some rumors and 
dirty gossip about your fellow fighters?  Tough!   
     If at first you don't succeed, avoid.  That'll get you in the Spyreports.  DAL 
SHANG thinks SCRABBLE and their 14-2-1 is too much!  If at first you don't succeed, 
give up...  The bums at BASH BROS EVANGELIST couldn't face the challenges from 
SCRABBLE!  No excuse for that!   
     Warriors of DAL SHANG unite.  You have only your games to lose!  Here's some 
advice:  study your opponent, master many skills, fight dirty.   
     Well, I'm pretty much through.  You guys need to get back practicing.  DAL SHANG 
is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places.  Remember--a good 
fighter needs both good skills and good luck.  Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen

Ironic Twist -- More skills for you.  More losses for me. -- Driving a Rolls

Jinx -- And on the Triple Letter score, ouch. -- NoCallListExemption

Sand Dancers -- Take those wins wherever you can get them.  It is MUCH MUCH MUCH
better than losses. -- Driving a Rolls

Xyloid -- Or xyloidize. -- Lindis tyl Sarro

So Maran defeats a standby for the title, as he predicted.  And Kurlo and I defeat
standbys to keep on going.  Could be worse. -- Lorand ten Sorn

And I defeat Kerri, no luck about it.  A 4-1 turn for us, not bad. -- Kaldan ten
