                                      SPY REPORT

     Oh, hi.  Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte.  Thought I'd check out SUNSET to see 
what's new.  Too bad, BIG LAKE TERROR, but THE WHOVIANS was just too good to be 
stopped.  I don't wanna hurt anybody's feelings or anything, but NOMADIC TRIBE really 
goofed with their 2-3-0.  GRIM FANDANGO like really fought hard to move up to 5th 
from 10th.  Way to go!  What was the name of that team who got 3-1-0 this turn for a 
total 158-224-10 you ask?  (Sure)  THE OOZE ZONE's their name, and fighting's their 
game!  MVP award for MOON SPLICER?  NOMADIC TRIBE's proud of him after beating DARK 
SPLIT and getting 20 points.  Talk about yer major upsets!  JUDOON's match with 
TENEBRAS LUX cost him a loss of 15 points!  Like, UNCHAINABLE must be pretty gutsy!  
He challenged the Duelmaster from WRATHMEN 24-68.  Does this guy have a death wish or 
what!  This Duelmaster is like something else!  BUCK FIDEN stopped UNCHAINABLE dead 
in his tracks!  Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to his teammates?  Don't 
ask me!   
     AAARRGH!!!  I HATE SPYREPORTING!!!  Sorry.  I just had to say it.  PHILTHBALLS 
was the most avoided team.  Is a 587-681-39 record really that scary?  I don't know 
what A FOREST DARK's been doing.  They certainly haven't been accepting many fights 
from PHILTHBALLS, that's fer sher.  Can THE ALLIANCE's AZALEA be more popular than 
me?  She was challenged the most, but is that really the same?  DASH HELLBENT must 
not be a good enough fighter to get in fair fights.  She challenged FYNN GERHEM.  8 
is a big difference.  (Well, that's what they tell me.) I thought DASH HELLBENT 
showed great skill and promise when she slew FYNN GERHEM.  All right, so I slept 
through it!  Big deal!   
     Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other!  Don't you guys ever give 
it a break?  Like was that some Bloodfeud, or what?  (PHLEM vs. NARDOLE, that is.) 
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 know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really 
should stop.  I had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte
