                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.  
I doubt BLACKSTONE will ever be the same.  PROJECT MAYHEM 15 stable has parlayed this 
turn's 1-0-0 into a 5 space move up the rankings.  This brings them up to 9th place.  
Good work, guys!  The MIDNIGHT HOUR guild has had a 4-1-0 turn and deserves to be 
watched in the future.  You never know where this kind of thing can lead.  And let's 
see, BLOODY MISSIONARY fought KHALHUMS DWARF and gained 20 points and contributed to 
MINDCRIMES' 3-1-0.  INDUSTRIAL WASTE has lost to GENERAL MILLZ, falling 17 points, 
while helping make ACID RAIN a 2-3-0 turn.  Defending his title for another turn, 
ROBERT PAULSON 47 kept DISPOSABLE HEROES' warrior, DON DROPEM, from claiming the 
throne.  By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the 
table at The Warty Toad?   
     He who challenges well, fights well.  He who avoids without cause, shall lose 
for good reasons.  My mama told me that one.  I also notice that the DISPOSABLE 
HEROES stable was the most avoided team this turn.  Come on BLACKSTONE, what are you 
afraid of?  And avoiding DISPOSABLE HEROES more than any other team we find BRITONS.  
BLACKSTONE, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?  The most 
challenged warrior this turn was MIDNIGHT HOUR's warrior CLOUDY SKY.  More fighters 
challenged her than challenged the Duelmaster!   
     We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and 
shave it close?  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.  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
