                                      SPY REPORT

     I can't believe the violence in ARVAT!  I still haven't told Mom I'm writing 
Spyreports.  She'd have a cow!  Well, here we go...  Like, DEATH BY DESIGN had to be 
so embarrassed when they got kicked off #1 spot by SECRET SQUIRRELS!  Way to go 
SECRET SQUIRRELS!  I don't wanna hurt anybody's feelings or anything, but HELL'S 
HEROES really goofed with their 0-3-0.  DEVIL ADVOCATES like really fought hard to 
move up to 2nd from 9th.  Way to go!  MVP award for ABE B. DONN?  DEVIL ADVOCATES' 
proud of him after beating SAI OPS and getting 27 points.  Talk about yer major 
upsets!  DEW DROP's match with DEZ PAYDER cost her a loss of 17 points!  Don't you 
think the Duelmaster is being unfair?  I think KOALLAFIED BADA$$ should let SNAPPER 
be Duelmaster for a while, without fighting about it.  I hear the top team insists 
all their warriors get nine hours sleep.  They want photogenic fighters for PR 
photos.   
     I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies.  Really, I just 
wing this stuff.  The warriors of SECRET SQUIRRELS must be getting lonely.  They were 
the most avoided team.  Do you guys know something that I don't?  Hhmph!  What kind 
of warriors are THE VALKYRIES?  SECRET SQUIRRELS, an easy team to beat if I ever saw 
one, can't get them to accept an invitation!  Can HELL'S HEROES' NIJA be more popular 
than me?  He was challenged the most, but is that really the same?  For sure, I was 
holding my breath when I found out FAYE challenged IRON TUSK.  After all, haven't THE 
VALKYRIES and BLACK MOON RISING had a long standing duel in ARVAT?  It wasn't a 
spectacular fight, or anything, but IRON TUSK wants me to write about it since he won 
victory over FAYE.  Satisfied?   
     What does a fighter fight for?  I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone 
gets killed.  Not after four more fights.  Everyone has problems, but why did 
GEMSTONE BEASTS send NEARTOFAR TROLL to the Dark Arena?  He had a 2-0-0, and I 
thought he looked neat on the sands...  Hey you guys, don't you think your families 
would like to hear from you?  Write!  (Or have someone write for you.)  
     Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain.  Soak it in cold water, and hand 
wash.  I gotta leave.  ARVAT is like such a dump, and you guys smell too much!  
Remember you guys, ease up sometimes!  Chill out!  Later, Debby Tonte
