To-Fu stabbed me in the back, the stinker!  But he didn't get the title.

                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
JADE MOUNTAIN brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Later days, JADED WARRIORS, 
since SAND DANCERS took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news.  Of 
course, we're all terribly impressed to see PLUM BLOSSOM win a fight and gain 22 
points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, FELLING POWER beat EGGCRACKER and EGGCRACKER lost 6 
points.  You're breakin' my heart.  And if variety is the spice of life, JADE 
MOUNTAIN may be getting bland, as HOTDOG stays top dog in the city.  Kickbacks and 
bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think some of these guys win their 
fights?  Skill?  Ha!   
     Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.  JADE 
MOUNTAIN, I am losing what little hope I had in you.  SAND DANCERS the most avoided 
team?  What insult will suffice, I cannot say.  And who led the way in this mass act 
of cowardice?  Let's see, well, whatcha know?  It was JADED WARRIORS.  Ha ha ha ha!  
Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, EGGCRACKER was this turn's most challenged warrior.  
Watch that ego swell, sports fans.   
     Death and Taxes.  The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience.  Let's 
see if anyone's dead or dying.  Bye bye, warrior, bye bye...  HAI TAI, a glorious 
20-20-0 fighter, has passed away.  Gee, too bad SAND DANCERS.  And now a passing 
thought on a warrior dying young (WILLIAM WALLACE of JADED WARRIORS):  You had your 
chance and now you're dead.  Oh well...  We're all going to die in the end, so why 
worry if the fate catches up with you sooner that later?   
     There's got to be a better place in JADE MOUNTAIN to get a drink than The Green 
Axe!  Any suggestions?  Just wait 'till next time I show up here, I won't be so nice! 
So nyaaah!  I see the crowds are getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens

Captain Mondinor holds grudges.  Beware of this!  I wouldn't allow him personal 
liberties, so he ignored the unwritten rule that standbys should lose. -- Plum Blossom

Ming-Chang the Sly is a GOOD standby.  He lost. -- Hai Tai

I cracked an egg on the Shivering Bonze. -- Eggcracker

And I scrambled that egg. -- Jo Ming

All standbys for us.  Did anyone else fight at all? -- Jorja

Cleopatra -- Ah, but what KIND of cracker?  For the moment, I'm thinking a soda 
cracker. -- Eggcracker

Well, it was a 3-0, but it was all stand-ins. My warriors want some meat! -- 
Cleopatra, Jaded Warriors

Eric The Red, Sun Tzu, and Geronimo are hopefully live and well and back from The 
Mailer with honors. They'd better be! -- Cleopatra
