SPY REPORT If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of TELORINTHE brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Later days, PUNY ORC PELOTON, since BAD SIGNS took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. BAD SIGNS turned their 4-1-1 turn into a 1st 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 KELLUMBO'S INITS. win a fight and gain 18 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, DANGEROUS CRIMINAL beat SILVERBACK and SILVERBACK lost 9 points. You're breakin' my heart. Going for broke or broken, our Duelmaster STEEL MUSE challenged this turn. And it's out with the old, in with the new, as STEEL MUSE 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, TELORINTHE? Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys. TELORINTHE, I am losing what little hope I had in you. OLDIES 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 BAD SIGNS. Ha ha ha ha! LUMP was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the DM insulted or feared? Heh, heh. Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's see if anyone's dead or dying. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is developing these kinds of weapons? There's got to be a better place in TELORINTHE to get a drink than The Dripping Blade! Any suggestions? Just wait 'till next time I show up here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah!

Well done. -- Coach Twas certainly superior to my Oldies 2-3! (sigh) -- Coach And, Doc LeGrand and his critters were on fire! Nice point gain, Doc, you killer! -- Coach I guess we Oldies should be proud we were 1-1 against you, Doc? -- Coach Steel Muse -- Your steel was just too much for my broom. -- Custodian Sam Tall -- Perhaps a ski lodge taker-carer-ofer is a much better position that THIS? I'm getting interested! -- Custodian Ambitious Guard -- Thank the MUGs for you. -- Sport Petro Salm -- That was a sly thing for you to do to a pius little altar boy. I wasn't done praying, when WHAMMO! -- Altar Boy Pyrite Puma -- You were hot; I was not. Besides, you growl better. -- 7th & Main Topaz Tiger -- It was MY day to howl. Have you ever heard howling from a Catholic church? Me neither. It felt and sounded G R E A T. (Tony The Tiger taught me.) -- St Michael's Health. Humility. Honor. -- Coach Well, two-two, no chance to get the new warrior signed up, and the hands are deeply involved in something else. I guess this is it from us for personals today. -- Those Who Walk the Middle Way (so as not to fall into the ditch) LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS 7TH & MAIN was dealt death by STONE GOLEM in a 2 minute Dark Arena fight.
