                                      SPY REPORT

     I can't believe the violence in NIANIA!  I still haven't told Mom I'm writing 
Spyreports.  She'd have a cow!  Well, here we go...  MVP award for GNUTON?  GNU 
TEAM's proud of him after beating KINTHIRA and getting 13 points.  Talk about yer 
major upsets!  GNUMA GNUMA's match with RED LIZARD cost her a loss of 6 points!  Boo, 
hoo!  BIG BIRD slew (slaught?  slet?) FANG!  Actually I never liked him much.  He 
just wanted to fight all the time.  I hear the top team insists all their warriors 
get nine hours sleep.  They want photogenic fighters for PR photos.   
     AAARRGH!!!  I HATE SPYREPORTING!!!  Sorry.  I just had to say it.  Can GNU 
TEAM's STUPID GNUS be more popular than me?  He was challenged the most, but is that 
really the same?   
     Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds.  All NIANIA 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!!!   
     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!  Its been really albendranius!  Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

Niania Teams -- After a prolonged hiatus, I would like to welcome myself back to
Niania.  Welcome back, self. -- Froot E. Bowl, mgr. Hamoi Tong

     And we welcome you, too.  Will you be giving a party for yourself?

Golden Fish -- Apologies for mashing Stanislow Drell.  I wasn't trying to kill him, I
promise....  But then again, I wasn't really trying to not kill him, either.  Looking
forward to the bloodfeud. -- Tasaio

Gnu Recruit -- Not sure if my loss says more about me as a fighter or about you...  I
have a feeling you may show up on my avoid list. -- Chaktiri

Red Lizard -- Nice fight.  Let's do it again sometime. -- Papewaio

     All managers -- Please make sure you write your avoids correctly!
     Remember, you avoid by *team ID*, not by warrior ID.  The input
     program beeps when it's wrong, and that makes the inputters growl,
     which is a bad thing for everyone!  So please be careful! -- GC

Ah!  We see a couple of teams popping out of inactivity.  This is good, even if their
presence is solely tourney timing.  Hi! -- Jorja and the Golden Fish

Skidmark Bug -- It's going to continue like this till after the tourney, isn't it?
Oh, well. -- Uethinria

Tasaio -- What?  I'm OUT of the game?  But I wasn't DONE! -- Ghost of Stanisloe Drell
P.S.  Do me the favor of mosterizing that fan in the stands.

Polish Cavalry -- Drat.  I hate looking inept, and you handed me a lot of ineptitude
there. -- Kinthira

I curl my lip in scorn of the Cult Member, but I keep my shield in place just in
case. -- Korbrizt Horon

Papenwaio -- If that win was due to luck, then I retain hope.  You can't always be
lucky. -- Red Lizard
