                                      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...  Too bad, HOMICIDAL MANIACS, but 
BOOZE was just too good to be stopped.  The guys at BOOZE like really pulled together 
to get a 3-0-0 this turn, moving up by 4.  MVP award for MARTINI?  BOOZE's proud of 
him after beating FENDER BENDER and getting 13 points.  Talk about yer major upsets!  
FENDER BENDER's match with MARTINI cost him a loss of 10 points!  Like DARK ARENA's 
UNDEAD WARRIOR is sweating since he got Dark Arena Challenged by Duelmaster BALL 
PEIN!  This Duelmaster is like something else!  BALL PEIN stopped UNDEAD WARRIOR dead 
in his tracks!  Who was the wiseguy that said MORDANT's Duelmaster was paying for 
drinks at Conan's Place?  Don't look at me!   
     I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies.  Really, I just 
wing this stuff.  LAB EXPERIMENTS was the most avoided team.  Is a 459-440-57 record 
really that scary?  Is there some deep dark secret why BOOZE's been avoiding LAB 
EXPERIMENTS so much?  Or is it just that they're too scared?   
     What does a fighter fight for?  I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone 
gets killed.  Not after four more fights.  Pinch me, I must be dreaming!!!  BALL PEIN 
returns from the Dark Arena, maybe a "little upset" at his MANNEQUIN'S BEST 
teammates...  Fight, fight, fight.  Is that all you guys can do?   
     I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid.  Who would've guessed I'd be 
a famous Spyreporter?  I gotta leave.  MORDANT is like such a dump, and you guys 
smell too much!  Its been really albendranius!  Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

Major Payne -- Boy, you sure ARE!  Even having to fight you is, because I have other
things I should be doing right now.  I have to study the charts, for one thing.  I'm
sure if I just study the charts enough, everything will become clear and easy.  Well,
for me, because I'm special, but they tell me that even ORDINARY people do better
after they study the charts. -- Rookie Manager
P.S.  If only the damned things weren't written in code.  I mean, I turn to the page
that the contents says should be skills, and there's this, um, kind of map, I guess.
What does it mean when you ask about skills attached to DF, and the chart says
"shallow water, do not approach except at high tide"?

Nailing -- Huh, that business with the nails... I could stuff with that!  Thanks for
giving me the idea.  I'm gonna get some big old nails and a dark alley and see what I
can do. -- Random Maniac

Merfin the Moneychanger.  Bah. -- China Bull

I'll second that.  And bash his fenders in, as well. -- Fender Bender
