Well fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for NIANIA. MVP award for STUPID GNUS? GNU TEAM's proud of him after beating CHAKTIRI and getting 22 points. Talk about yer major upsets! CHAKTIRI's match with STUPID GNUS cost him a loss of 17 points! And I was just getting used to the ex-Duelmaster's habit of...(!) Oh well, welcome SERPENT2. Aren't SERPENTS HOLD proud. (Oh, my.) Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to his teammates? Don't ask me! AAARRGH!!! I HATE SPYREPORTING!!! Sorry. I just had to say it. The warriors of GNU TEAM must be getting lonely. They were the most avoided team. Do you guys know something that I don't? I don't know what HAMOI TONG's been doing. They certainly haven't been accepting many fights from GNU TEAM, that's fer sher. Like, is SKIDMARK BUG popular, or what? He was challenged the most in all of NIANIA! He's got a 12-3-0, is that good? Ooh! Did TASAIO really know what he was doing when he challenged SKIDMARK BUG? A 11-8-1 speaks volumes. (Zontoni said that. I don't know what it means.) TASAIO lost to SKIDMARK BUG, but he got 4 points. SKIDMARK BUG won, and got 6 points. I don't get it. Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other! Don't you guys ever give it a break? Hey you guys, don't you think your families would like to hear from you? Write! (Or have someone write for you.) I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be a famous Spyreporter? I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really should stop.

Let's do this again sometime, you seem to be able to teach me some things. -- Papewaio Red Lizard -- How can I tell if you're bleeding when you're red all over? -- Jiro Gnu I Knew -- I just gnu we were going to be matched up. Still can't solve this one. Why don't you graduate already? -- Chaktiri Gnuton -- What's the world coming to these days? I really don't know. -- Ghuda V's granddaddy We salute the tourney participants and note that we once had some good gladiators here. Of course, they're now on the Isle and not coming back, but if we could get some others of that caliber, it would be good. -- Jorja and the Golden Fish Don't listen to her! If we get more hotshots here, those of us who are just ordinary will be getting beaten up EVEN MORE. We don't think it's worth it. -- the Golden Fish, but not Jorja Jiro -- A hotshot. At least you aren't a CRUSHING hotshot, like some I've seen. Actually, good fight, considering. On your part. My part... not so good. -- Red Lizard P.S. Do I seem to you to be getting... scaly? Stupid Gnus -- You live up to YOUR name rather well. -- Kinthira Rattler -- Inevitable, though embarrassing. I wonder if I should petition for a name change to something snaky? You serpents always seem to win. -- Korbrizt Horon At least the Ambitious Guard knows enough to LOSE to me. I'm not in the mood for anything else. -- Kestraline Ghost -- Oh, great, make me feel even worse! -- Elinterri, wondering why she took this job in the first place LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS SLURRY was dealt death by SHEWISH GIANT in a crowd pleasing 2 minute Dark Arena fight.
