SPY REPORT
Hail DAL SHANG! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for
your deeds. The THE MOTHERSHIP CE 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, THE BLUE PILL fought NOCALLLISTEXEMPTION and gained 18 points and contributed to
THE MOTHERSHIP CE's 4-1-0. NOCALLLISTEXEMPTION has lost to THE BLUE PILL, falling 14
points, while helping make BASH BROS EVANGELIST a 0-2-0 turn. The attempts to
dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and XYLOID remains DAL SHANG's top warrior for
another turn. Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top team makes their
losing fighters do dishes at The Blazing Unicorn until they win. Maybe?
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. I also notice that the SHEWISH BUFFET stable was the most
avoided team this turn. Come on DAL SHANG, what are you afraid of? And guess who
avoided SHEWISH BUFFET stable the most? Believe it or not, it was BASH BROS
EVANGELIST. Anyone surprised? Well, sports fans, take notice that KALDAN TEN KARAN
from SAND DANCERS was DAL SHANG's most challenged warrior this turn.
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 DAL SHANG
has more dishwashers per capita that fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. Well, I'm burning daylight here in DAL SHANG and I've a long road
ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper--

Xyloid -- Ah, I thought you were... I dunno what I thought you were, but I didn't
want any part of it. -- Kurlo ten Doshan
Victories over standbys are, still, victories. -- Lindis tyl Sarro
Damned Dwarf. -- Maran ten Palan
And Sweet Anella goes down again. That guy is a troublemaker, and it was my pleasure
to mosterize him. -- Lorand ten Sorn
Human Cheese -- That was... a little thin, and at the same time greasy. Weird. --
Kaldan ten Karan
That was quite unexpected. Had to put the car in the shop unexpectedly, even though
I'd just had it serviced and everything should have gone smoothly. I'll be back this
turn, hopefully, still -- Driving a Rolls
