                                      SPY REPORT

     Well, what are you looking at, VEASTIAN?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Later days, PRIDE OF ALASTARI, since 
FLYING CIRCUS II took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news.  Gee, I'm 
impressed, a 3-0-0 is nice, but don't get cocky, FAR TRAVELERS, the Fates teach 
humility, and the Fates are proud.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see 
IBRAHIM win a fight and gain 20 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, MELLIFLUOUS beat 
CARDINAL XIMENEZ and CARDINAL XIMENEZ lost 13 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  
FARAH challenged HIPPO SWAN for VEASTIAN's Title this turn, and guess what happened?  
And if variety is the spice of life, VEASTIAN may be getting bland, as FARAH stays 
top dog in the city.  The Welcome Wench, humph!  I've tasted better ale at 
mortuaries.  Where do they get this stuff?  From VEASTIAN's trash dumps?   
     My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start 
talking.' I loved that woman.  PRIDE OF ALASTARI, I suppose you'll be glad to know 
you were this turn's most avoided team.  Care to know who is the most afraid of you?  
And who led the way in this mass act of cowardice?  Let's see, well, whatcha know?  
It was FAR TRAVELERS.  Ha ha ha ha!  Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, HIPPO SWAN was 
this turn's most challenged warrior.  Watch that ego swell, sports fans.   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for VEASTIAN's 
morgue.  More variety.  We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if the fate 
catches up with you sooner that later?   
     I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for 
an epee.  Forgive me for writing with a dagger.  Phlllt!  Just had to do that before 
I leave the fine city of VEASTIAN.  I feel much better now.  Paste this one in your 
scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens
