                                      SPY REPORT

     Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills?  Well 
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for SUNSET.  MVP award for MANIC MARVIN?  
PHILTHBALLS' proud of him after beating KNOF MOONWILLOW and getting 20 points.  Talk 
about yer major upsets!  KNOF MOONWILLOW's match with MANIC MARVIN cost her a loss of 
15 points!  Like, UNCHAINABLE must be pretty gutsy!  He Bloodfeuded the Duelmaster 
from BIG LAKE TERROR.  Does this guy have a death wish or what!  And I was just 
getting used to the ex-Duelmaster's habit of...(!)  Oh well, welcome UNCHAINABLE.  
Aren't BEN'S BAZAAR proud.  (Oh, my.) Who was the wiseguy that said SUNSET's 
Duelmaster was paying for drinks at Baba Yaga's Bar and Grill?  Don't look at me!   
     So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway?  It can't be for these 
really neat Spyreports can it?  BIG LAKE TERROR was the most avoided team.  Is a 
650-614-43 record really that scary?  I don't know what RAT PAK's been doing.  They 
certainly haven't been accepting many fights from BIG LAKE TERROR, that's fer sher.  
Can PHILTHBALLS' HOLDEN MCBAGGS be more popular than me?  It was challenged the most, 
but is that really the same?  WASTING TIME must not be a good enough fighter to get 
in fair fights.  He challenged TOKAY.  12 is a big difference.  (Well, that's what 
they tell me.) I thought WASTING TIME showed great skill and promise when he was 
subdued by TOKAY.  All right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds.  All SUNSET ever talks about is fighting!  Me, 
I'm more laid back.  Hey!  Quit laughing!  Just because ARYAGATOR had 27-19-0 was no 
reason for PHILTHBALLS to send her to the Dark Arena!  Stop it!  UNCHAINABLE 
bloodfeuded (is that a word?) DARK LAUGH for revenge over some guy's bad fortune.  
Was it really worth it?  Hey you guys, don't you think your families would like to 
hear from you?  Write!  (Or have someone write for you.)  
     I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid.  Who would've guessed I'd be 
a famous Spyreporter?  I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it 
quits.  I had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte
