                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
BONSUR brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Later days, HOWLIN SNIPES, since 
CHAOS KIDS took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news.  If this keeps 
up, ESPANA, you'll have to shine swords instead of use them.  A drop of 4 in the 
rankings?  CRAZY CO-WORKERS turned their 2-1-0 turn into a 7th place rank in the 
listings this turn.  Any better than this, and you get put on hit lists.  Gee, I'm 
impressed, a 3-1-1 is nice, but don't get cocky, CHAOS KIDS, the Fates teach 
humility, and the Fates are proud.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see 
QUIETUS win a fight and gain 15 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, TOMMY beat DAWN SQUIRE 
and DAWN SQUIRE lost 9 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  Due to absence, and 
inability to defend the throne, VALVERDE has lost the Title of Duelmaster.  Start 
setting that alarm earlier!  And it's out with the old, in with the new, as MIGHTY 
NED takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster.  Heh, heh.  The 
Swinging Aardvark, humph!  I've tasted better ale at mortuaries.  Where do they get 
this stuff?  From BONSUR's trash dumps?   
     Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.  
BONSUR, I am losing what little hope I had in you.  REAVERS the most avoided team?  
What insult will suffice, I cannot say.  And it looks like SENTINELS avoided them the 
most this turn.  What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me.  Hmph.   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for BONSUR's 
morgue.  More variety.  I could say I saw this coming, but so could anyone else.  
Anyway, this turn it came.  AVALANCHE's 15-8-2 has earned him the Dark Arena.  And 
sending AVALANCHE to the Dark Arena was supposed to be one of your better ideas, 
CHAOS KIDS?  Whoa!  I'll even buy SANTA ANA a drink tonight!  Anyone who can come 
back from the Dark Arena, I want to be on his good side!  Honor is like a chainmail 
shirt, it only shines through use.  Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me 
on this one.   
     What does the BONSUR arena have in common with the inns?  It's just as 
comfortable to sleep in either place.  Ha ha ha ha!  Phlllt!  Just had to do that 
before I leave the fine city of BONSUR.  I feel much better now.  Glad to see the 
back of this place-- Snide Clemens
