Look on my work, ye mighty, and despair! MIDDLE WAY 8 had cause to celebrate, after OHIO JONES got 17 points by beating SYMBAL. CATHEDRAL GUARD certainly had a baffled expression on his face, after losing to RUTHLESS JAYWALKER and losing 17 points in the process! UMBERTO VINE found out that FRATSFA isn't a democracy. You've gotta be the best to be Duelmaster here! So who's the team that's been walking into taverns last week and ordering milk? Sounds like a PR stunt to me. A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the little birds cry out?' Any ideas? Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors. Oh hard! that to strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting! Leave me now, you base fools! More important duties call me. Can anything compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for FRATSFA?
