                                      SPY REPORT

     Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills?  Well 
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for ERINIKA.  Like, EASTERN HORDE 4 had to be 
so embarrassed when they got kicked off #1 spot by GAMMA WORLD!  Way to go GAMMA 
WORLD!  I couldn't believe it.  Did SWORD HEROES 6 really go up by 11?  If only those 
guys didn't have so may missing teeth...  Gross!  SWORD HEROES 7 had like a really 
albendranius week!  Those hunks got a 1-0-0 and wound up as 5th team!  I couldn't 
believe it.  Did MY BED BANDER really go up by 15?  If only those guys didn't have so 
may missing teeth...  Gross!  YUPPIE PANDEMIC had like a really albendranius week!  
Those hunks got a 1-0-0 and wound up as 10th team!  I couldn't believe it.  Did LUDUS 
MAGNUS XVI really go up by 22?  If only those guys didn't have so may missing 
teeth...  Gross!  See if I even talk to any of those losers in EASTERN HORDE 4 again! 
Didja see where they got 0-1-0?  Somebody musta won a lotta fights!  Wanna hear about 
a real loser?  Listen to this--JUDGEMENT 1 got 0-1-0 and dropped 11.  Didn't see much 
of them after the fights!  Really, just how far can one team drop in one round?  
THIRD HIGHWAY 3 dropped 21, which I think's more than all the other teams combined!  
Wanna hear about a real loser?  Listen to this--EASTERN HORDE 3 got 0-1-0 and dropped 
18.  Didn't see much of them after the fights!  MVP award for BRAVEY?  SWORD HEROES 
3's proud of her after beating PORK SCHNITZEL and getting 33 points.  Talk about yer 
big time losers!  MY COFFEE got smashed by QUARANTINE, and lost 16 points!  Don't you 
think the Duelmaster is being unfair?  I think SNITCH TAGGER should let ADOEL 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.   
     Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right?  The warriors of DRAKE'S LEFTOVERS 
11 must be getting lonely.  They were the most avoided team.  Do you guys know 
something that I don't?  Is there some deep dark secret why ANTISOCIALS' been 
avoiding DRAKE'S LEFTOVERS 11 so much?  Or is it just that they're too scared?   
     Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other!  Don't you guys ever give 
it a break?  I'm always kinda bummed when a decent warrior gets killed.  PORK 
SCHNITZEL, of P IS FOR PIG had a 8-5-1 when he got bumped off by BRAVEY.  It was 
totally gross when BRAVEY killed PORK SCHNITZEL.  Blood and itty bitty body bits all 
over the place!  Things weren't too happy at P IS FOR PIG, either.  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.  Its been really albendranius!  Later, guys-- Debby Tonte
