                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.  
I doubt BLACKSTONE will ever be the same.  Now keep the taverns open late tonight, 
for there are sorrows to drown for NAMED BY TDO, whose 0-1-0 this turn dropped them 
by 9 into 16th.  UNGENTLE BENS stable has parlayed this turn's 1-0-0 into a 9 space 
move up the rankings.  This brings them up to 12th place.  Good work, guys!  And 
let's see, OEDIPUT REX fought SORE and gained 34 points and contributed to MOMMA'S 
BOY's 1-0-0.  SORE has lost to OEDIPUT REX, falling 8 points, while helping make 
NAMED BY TDO a 0-1-0 turn.  The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and 
FORCED SUBTEXT remains BLACKSTONE's top warrior for another turn.  By the way, was 
that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The Swinging 
Aardvark?   
     Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' 
Inscrutable, but true.  WARRIORS 11 has cause to stand tall, as they were 
BLACKSTONE's most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team to beat.  And 
guess who avoided WARRIORS 11 stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was 011312R.  
Anyone surprised?  Well, sports fans, take notice that CRAPPY SATIRE from WARRIORS 11 
was BLACKSTONE's most challenged warrior this turn.  In a brave attempt, PUKE from 
4-LETTER VOMIT challenged up 19 points to fight CRAPPY SATIRE from the WARRIORS 11 
stable.  PUKE perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he was subdued by CRAPPY 
SATIRE and ended up with 100 recognition points.   
     The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.  
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed.  Is it really true that BLACKSTONE 
has more dishwashers per capita that fighters?  Just thought I'd ask...   
     I like this place, BLACKSTONE, the taverns have old wine, and young serving 
girls.  Who could ask for more?  It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet 
again, keep your swords sharp and your hammers heavy.  Until the sun next rises and 
my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the Scribe
