                                      SPY REPORT

     Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in DWES EG this turn, and let's start 
with a look at some of the teams.  Now, what did these guys have for breakfast this 
morning?  FAMOUS GOLFERS has turned a 2-1-1 into 8th place from 26th.  Give me the 
recipe!  I want to know who's buying the drinks for who tonight at The Welcome Wench, 
seeing as MISFIT TOYS L's 3-8-0 has earned them 18th place in the ranks.  THE RULING 
CLASS must be either in pain, or numb, having dropped from 13th to 27th this turn, 
with a 0-2-0 acting as the weight.  Our condolences (or sneers, as the case may be) 
go out to MISFIT TOYS R for their drop to 29th from 16th.  A 0-1-0 can do that.  And 
let's see, SOULSCREAM fought UNDEAD BARBIE and gained 19 points and contributed to 
BLOODSWORDS' 5-0-0.  FRENCH PEA 2 has lost to THUNDERCLAP, falling 11 points, while 
helping make MISFIT TOYS R a 0-1-0 turn.  Due to his absence and inability to defend 
the throne, ARCANUM has lost the title of Duelmaster.  And not without some honor, 
THE LAVA BLADE now claims the title and throne of Duelmaster of DWES EG.  Can someone 
confirm a rumor for me?  I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at 
The Welcome Wench until they win.  Maybe?   
     Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' 
Inscrutable, but true.  FAMOUS GOLFERS has cause to stand tall, as they were DWES 
EG's most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team to beat.  And avoiding 
FAMOUS GOLFERS more than any other team we find MISFIT TOYS C.  DWES EG, are we going 
to accept, or respect this sort of thing?   
     We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and 
shave it close?  Is it really true that DWES EG has more dishwashers per capita that 
fighters?  Just thought I'd ask...   
     Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the 
sweetest.  Always good to rest in DWES EG, but never good to wear out my welcome.  
Look for me in future turns.  Until you see my quill in DWES EG again, farewell-- 
Alarond the Scribe
