                                      SPY REPORT

     Well, what are you looking at, TELORINTHE?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed 
to see SIN EATER win a fight and gain 14 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, SIN EATER beat 
GOBLIN and GOBLIN lost 9 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  Our Duelmaster has lost, 
folks, lost to M. CHARDINEE, BUT LAKE EFFECT SNOW is still the Duelmaster because it 
has the most recognition points!  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?   
     My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start 
talking.' I loved that woman.  TELORINTHE, I am losing what little hope I had in you. 
WETWORKS the most avoided team?  What insult will suffice, I cannot say.  And it 
looks like BAD SIGNS avoided them the most this turn.  What a pack of would be 
losers, if you ask me.  Hmph.  Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, D&D 3.5 was this 
turn's most challenged warrior.  Watch that ego swell, sports fans.  And we have 
KILLEEN in a challenge, going down 9 points for the fight.  Guess what?  I thought 
KILLEEN showed great skill and promise when she bested MAC THE KNIFE.  All right, so 
I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for TELORINTHE's 
morgue.  More variety.  And now a passing thought on a warrior dying young (D&D 3.5 
of SCORPIO'S LIKES:):  You had your chance and now you're dead.  Oh well...  Honor is 
like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through use.  Certain nameless cowards will 
doubtless rebuke me on this one.   
     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

**************************************************************************************
                        NOTE from the Gladiatorial Commission 
Several warriors were entered into the Grand Tournament from no-tourney arenas.  
Please remember that each manager signed a pledge upon entering the no-tourney arenas, 
stating, in part: 

     "I pledge that I will not send warriors from this team to a tournament, nor 
     will I use a tournament prize on a warrior from this team," 
and 
     "I understand that any warrior that participates in a tournament or receives 
     a tournament prize shall be sent to the Dark Arena until they are dead."  

The Gladiatorial Commission assumes that these entries were in error and has refused 
those warriors entry into the tournament.  However, an exception was made for warriors 
entered into Dead Tournaments, but it shall be understood that if a no-tournament 
warrior earns resurrection, that team must move to a regular arena or, as stated in 
the Pledge, that warrior must be sent to the Dark Arena until they are dead.  Please 
direct any questions to Customer Service.
