                                      SPY REPORT

     Oh, hi.  Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte.  Thought I'd check out NIANIA to see 
what's new.  Like, THE GOLDEN FISH had to be so embarrassed when they got kicked off 
#1 spot by HAMOI TONG!  Way to go HAMOI TONG!  What was the name of that team who got 
4-1-0 this turn for a total 37-51-3 you ask?  (Sure)  HAMOI TONG's their name, and 
fighting's their game!  MVP award for SKIDMARK BUG?  042909A's proud of him after 
beating KHALHUMS DWARF and getting 19 points.  Talk about yer big time losers!  
GNUTON got smashed by UETHINRIA, and lost 9 points!  And I was just getting used to 
the ex-Duelmaster's habit of...(!)  Oh well, welcome BIG BIRD.  Aren't THE FUNNY FARM 
proud.  (Oh, my.) I hear the top team insists all their warriors get nine hours 
sleep.  They want photogenic fighters for PR photos.   
     I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies.  Really, I just 
wing this stuff.  GNU TEAM was the most avoided team.  Is a 57-62-6 record really 
that scary?  Is there some deep dark secret why HAMOI TONG's been avoiding GNU TEAM 
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.  Enough already!  All I've heard lately is 
"Will SERPENTS HOLD Bloodfeud BIG BIRD of THE FUNNY FARM to revenge FANG's death?"  I 
mean, who cares?  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'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it quits.  I had a fun 
time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

Well, Niania, I guess I shouldn't have tempted fate by saying last round that I had
my stable figured out.  That's just thumbing your nose at the reaper!  In any case, a
round of drinks for my fine fighter Ghuda Jr. that no one in this arena will have the
pleasure of gaining a win from.....   Ghuda Jr., we barely knew ya.  You were
supposed to deliver a TV and a lot of skills with which to beat the competition in
Niania, instead you let a wall of steel kill you.  RIP Ghuda Jr. -- Froot E. Bowl

Gnu Recruit -- I have to say that's a tough random matchup.  Especially when I bring
a maul to the party! -- Tasaio

Stupid Gnus -- Well, on this one the Tong got the bad side of the matchup....  Nice
fight, I thought I had a chance in the 3rd minute, but couldn't close the deal.  Let
me learn a few things and we'll try it again! -- Chaktiri

Gnuma Gnuma -- That was quite a workout for you.  I think I felt some taps through my
plate armor, but honestly, I really couldn't see much through my helm's peephole.
I'm glad the arenamaster told me when it was over, I might have stood out there all
day. -- Papewaio

Chaktiri -- You don't love me any more! -- Uethinria

Papewaio -- Well... I suppose we COULD, if that's what you want.  I'm not likely to
go anywhere, so long as no one kills me. -- Kestraline

Robot Chicken -- The very concept curls my toes.  What kind of eggs do robot chickens
lay? -- Kinthira

Gnuton -- You do not like that I have defeated your teammate?  It is something that
must be done from time to time. -- Red Lizard

And three-oh against standbys.  Good for the record, but... we've seen them before,
and they never talk. -- Korbrizt, Uethinria, and Kestraline
