                                      SPY REPORT

     I can't believe the violence in MORDANT!  I still haven't told Mom I'm writing 
Spyreports.  She'd have a cow!  Well, here we go...  MVP award for SNOWBIRD TIME?  
HOMICIDAL MANIACS' proud of him after beating GESHI SCRIVENER and getting 16 points.  
Talk about yer big time losers!  BRICK WALL got smashed by SWALLOWTAIL, and lost 2 
points!  This Duelmaster is like something else!  GOOEYDUCK stopped HAYDAN dead in 
his tracks!  Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to his teammates?  Don't ask 
me!   
     I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies.  Really, I just 
wing this stuff.   
     Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds.  All MORDANT ever talks about is fighting!  
Me, I'm more laid back.  What if they had a fight and nobody showed up?  I'd be out 
of a job, that's what!!!   
     Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain.  Soak it in cold water, and hand 
wash.  I gotta leave.  MORDANT is like such a dump, and you guys smell too much!  I 
had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

Gooeyduck -- Wow, you shocked the wall!  But I'm not going to channel for you to hear
its personal reaction. -- Ghost of Third Charmer

Gooeyduck -- I'd channel for you, as I have come to appreciate the desperation of the
voiceless, but I can't hold onto the scribe long enough. -- Ghost of Number Two

The ignominy of it all is that I was killed by a standby.  The shame! -- Ghost of
Third Charmer

This Raffi the Garrote is a fool.  He attempted to garrote me with his belt, at
least, that's what I think he was planning to attempt, but I had him down before he
got the belt off.  He should be better prepared. -- Haydan

Cenwolfe -- I think maybe you've been on the shelf too long, bud. -- Bottle of Beer
P.S.  Either that, or you're a shneaky shtandby.

Messiah -- There are probably managers who will thank you for this, especially now
with the tourney looming so closely.  But I never die, I always come back. -- Ghost
of Sandy's Evil Twin
P.S.  Stronger and more evil, too.
