                                      SPY REPORT

     Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in NOBLISH ISLAND this turn, and 
let's start with a look at some of the teams.  And let's see, SIR CHAFESALOT fought 
OVERPAID and gained 18 points and contributed to STRANGER DANGER's 2-2-0.  HOWDY 
DOODY has lost to PROTON, falling 12 points, while helping make CHILDHOOD T.V. a 
2-3-0 turn.  Our last turn's Duelmaster has lost, folks, lost to VETERAN MERCENARY, 
and BIG LUG has made the way for a new Duelmaster!  Can someone confirm a rumor for 
me?  I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Swinging 
Aardvark until they win.  Maybe?   
     Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' 
Inscrutable, but true.  BASH BROS SUPERSTARS has cause to stand tall, as they were 
NOBLISH ISLAND's most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team to beat.  
And avoiding BASH BROS SUPERSTARS more than any other team we find CHILDHOOD T.V..  
NOBLISH ISLAND, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?  Well, sports 
fans, take notice that CONCEITED from BASH BROS SUPERSTARS was NOBLISH ISLAND's most 
challenged warrior this turn.   
     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.  Had I not seen it, it would be hard 
to believe.  ASSURS HONOR was sent to the Dark Arena and lived to tell about it!  
Makes you think, no?  A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to 
cover or hide when the fight is over.  Consider well.   
     Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the 
sweetest.  Well, I'm burning daylight here in NOBLISH ISLAND and I've a long road 
ahead of me.  Happy Trails.  Until you see my quill in NOBLISH ISLAND again, 
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

Big Lug! We salute a Duelmaster with a name of pure power. -- Tank

Assur well done ! Hijacked two of my T.V. shows. Jumped up above the T.V. and twisted 
the antennae. Belittled the black and white guys. Salute! -- Tank

Cosmetic Surgery, how in the heck did you know I needed it? -- Flash Gordon (thinking 
something must be wrong with his decoder ring)

Conceited? And picking on poor T.V. shows, too. Tsk. Tsk. -- Twilight Zone 
(considering using Conceited as the victim in an Alfred Hitchcock murder)

From a lucky 5-0 to a less-than-mediocre 2-3, we recommit ourselves to better writing 
and acting on each of our series. -- Childhood TVers
