SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
ERINIKA brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. With any luck, I can sneak into The
Welcome Wench and join CANADIAN ARTISTS V's celebration over their good record this
turn. 8th place, not bad. If The Welcome Wench is buying drinks for EVIL SMURF
HORDE 3's good turn, I'm afraid the place will be dry before long. A 1-0-0 makes for
a big thirst. With any luck, I can sneak into The Welcome Wench and join EVIL SMURF
HORDE 7's celebration over their good record this turn. 12th place, not bad. If The
Welcome Wench is buying drinks for RED BLADES' good turn, I'm afraid the place will
be dry before long. A 1-0-0 makes for a big thirst. With any luck, I can sneak into
The Welcome Wench and join EVIL SMURF HORDE 6's celebration over their good record
this turn. 23rd place, not bad. If The Welcome Wench is buying drinks for LUDUS
MAGNUS VI's good turn, I'm afraid the place will be dry before long. A 1-0-0 makes
for a big thirst. Why not, I'm having a good day, so I feel sorry for AURIGA, who
went 0-1-0 and dropped 20 into 28th. Here's my pity, for what it's worth. Of
course, we're all terribly impressed to see LONESOME LOSER win a fight and gain 12
points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, LONESOME LOSER beat SUHAIL and SUHAIL lost 7 points.
You're breakin' my heart. And if variety is the spice of life, ERINIKA may be
getting bland, as MARDUK 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,
ERINIKA?
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys. EVIL
SMURF HORDE 7, 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 ALPHABET SOUP. Ha ha ha
ha!
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for ERINIKA's
morgue. More variety. We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if the fate
catches up with you sooner that later?
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. Phlllt! Just had to do that before
I leave the fine city of ERINIKA. I feel much better now. I see the crowds are
getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens
