                                      SPY REPORT

     Well, what are you looking at, NOBLISH ISLAND?  Ain't you never seen Snide 
Clemens before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Later days, BASH BROS 
SUPERSTARS, since ROMAN REPUBLIC took top team from you this turn, you guys are old 
news.  Now let's all watch CHILDHOOD T.V.'s heads swell from their 4-1-1 this turn.  
Haa ha ha ha!  Big shots, big talk, big deal.  Of course, we're all terribly 
impressed to see ZOGI win a fight and gain 20 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, ZOGI beat 
APPIUS CAUDEX and APPIUS CAUDEX lost 14 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  And if 
variety is the spice of life, NOBLISH ISLAND may be getting bland, as HOWDY DOODY 
stays top dog in the city.  The Warty Toad, humph!  I've tasted better ale at 
mortuaries.  Where do they get this stuff?  From NOBLISH ISLAND's trash dumps?   
     My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start 
talking.' I loved that woman.  NOBLISH ISLAND, I am losing what little hope I had in 
you.  BASH BROS SUPERSTARS 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 CHILDHOOD T.V..  Ha ha ha ha!  ENTITLED 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.  And now a passing thought on a warrior dying young 
(OVERPAID of BASH BROS SUPERSTARS):  You had your chance and now you're dead.  Oh 
well...  We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if the fate catches up with 
you sooner that later?   
     What does the NOBLISH ISLAND arena have in common with the inns?  It's just as 
comfortable to sleep in either place.  Ha ha ha ha!  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

Gracious! Assur, what happened to your Superstars? Negotiating contracts? -- Tank
P.S. See you in Tempe.

Lanistae and gladiatores, the people of Rome wish you good fortune and prosperity for 
the Kalends of January. May Janus keep His benevolent watch over our ancestors and 
favour the bolds in the arena. -- INSPQR, Valerius Flamma

Saigh Eubha, tonight you are reveling with your forebears. Sit sibi brevis vita sed 
plena honore. -- Scipio

In discipline lies the key to all. And devotion around the altar. Scipio, with his 
dissolute ways, relies far too much on libations. -- Cato
