                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
DAYLA KIV brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  SAND DANCERS turned their 3-2-0 
turn into a 2nd place rank in the listings this turn.  Any better than this, and you 
get put on hit lists.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see ZEKE BOONE win 
a fight and gain 19 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, RABID RAT beat JANKY and JANKY lost 
10 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  Due to absence, and inability to defend the 
throne, EVIL MASCHA has lost the Title of Duelmaster.  Start setting that alarm 
earlier!  And it's out with the old, in with the new, as BULL takes the Title and 
last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster.  Heh, heh.  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, DAYLA 
KIV?   
     Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.  
What's the big D?  SPROUT OF MY WAY! was the most avoided team?  Bunch of lily 
livered... grumble... mumble... curse...  And it looks like FEROCIOUS ANIMALS avoided 
them the most this turn.  What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me.  Hmph.  Ooh, 
I'm frightfully impressed, TARAN TEN SALTH was this turn's most challenged warrior.  
Watch that ego swell, sports fans.   
     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.  Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess 
what brave team is developing these kinds of weapons?   
     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

I got up early, full of energy and intention to whip through four arenas of personals.  
Then other stuff from life intervened: feed my mother and my cat, call the grocery 
store and the pharmacy about deliveries, you know, stuff.  And three hours have gone 
by, nothing done.
So I can honestly say, this looks like an oh-five turn, and I don't want to talk about 
it. -- Jorja
