                                      SPY REPORT

     Oh, hi.  Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte.  Thought I'd check out NIANIA to see 
what's new.  Uncool, THE RUNAROUND.  I mean 0-0-0 is bad.  Will they will be allowed 
to fight?  I say use 'em for training practice!  MVP award for FORBIDDEN FRUIT?  
MISNOMERS' proud of her after beating STUPID GNUS and getting 18 points.  Talk about 
yer major upsets!  KINTHIRA's match with POLISH CAVALRY cost her a loss of 10 points! 
And I was just getting used to the ex-Duelmaster's habit of...(!)  Oh well, welcome 
FANG.  Aren't SERPENTS HOLD proud.  (Oh, my.) I hear the top team insists all their 
warriors get nine hours sleep.  They want photogenic fighters for PR photos.   
     So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway?  It can't be for these 
really neat Spyreports can it?  The warriors of SERPENTS HOLD 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 FUNNY FARM?  SERPENTS HOLD, an easy team to beat if I 
ever saw one, can't get them to accept an invitation!   
     What does a fighter fight for?  I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone 
gets killed.  Not after four more fights.  How cruel!  HAMOI TONG heartlessly sent 
his to GHUDA certain fate in the Dark Arena.  Is a 9-5-1 bad or something?  Hey, 
warriors get killed by other warriors, not by their manager sending them to the Dark 
Arena.  What's wrong with GHUDA's 9-5-1, HAMOI TONG?  It was kind of sad, seeing old 
STANISLOE DRELL stumbling around the arena, before TASAIO finished him off.  Oh well! 
What if they had a fight and nobody showed up?  I'd be out of a job, that's what!!!   
     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.  NIANIA is like such a dump, and you guys smell 
too much!  Remember you guys, ease up sometimes!  Chill out!  Later, Debby Tonte

Hmm, it says in the newsletter that threee out of three aimed blows won fights today,
and three out of four total parries lost.  That just sounds WRONG.  For Basic,
anyway.  Aimed blows should NOT have been doing that.  They should have been DYING,
which is what aimed blows in Basic do best. -- Jorja the Surprised
P.S.  Make that, Surprised and Disconcerted.

Stupid Gnus -- Ah, good.  You reap the (eventual) reward of stupidity.  I was glad to
help. -- Kinthira

Do you suppose that idiot I fought allows himself to be called a "Fratsfa Slave" in
order to conceal his real identity and protect his family from the shame?  He's
really inept. -- Uethinria

Polish Cavalry -- I can't believe you bested me!  The steward and the bookies didn't
believe it, either.  The steward, who cares.  But the bookies are likely to send
their knee-breakers after me to make up for the loss of money bet on me.  How that
does make up for it is beyond my understanding, but that's what they do. -- Korbrizt
Horon

Oh, an Embezzling Scribe.  Silly bugger. -- Stanisloe Drell

Gnuma Gnuma -- You're weird.  I always take and bop weird people over the head, it
saves trouble in the long run. -- Red Lizard
