                                      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...  Like, MISNOMERS had to be so 
embarrassed when they got kicked off #1 spot by THE GOLDEN FISH!  Way to go THE 
GOLDEN FISH!  MVP award for KESTRALINE?  THE GOLDEN FISH's proud of her after beating 
INSURANCE SALESMAN and getting 9 points.  Talk about yer big time losers!  ELINTERRI 
got smashed by RATTLER, and lost 6 points!  What a putz!  POLISH CAVALRY fights so 
hard to be Duelmaster, then quits fighting and loses the title.  No one said it was a 
genius...  Was that a tear I saw in RATTLER's eye, as it took over Duelmastership?  
And wasn't ELINTERRI fit to be tied!  Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to 
his teammates?  Don't ask me!   
     Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right?   
     What does a fighter fight for?  I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone 
gets killed.  Not after four more fights.  Everyone has problems, but why did 
SERPENTS HOLD send CHANCE to the Dark Arena?  It had a 7-2-0, and I thought it looked 
neat on the sands...  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.  NIANIA is like such a dump, and you guys smell 
too much!  I had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

Excuse us?  We're proud of Pikestave for beating the Embezzling Scribe?  Is this
difficult? -- the rest of the Golden Fish

Polish Cavalry -- Good thing I wasn't making TRACKS in the arena, because I wouldn't
have wanted to be DEAD in them.  Bored, yes, thirteen minutes?  Were you thinking? --
Kestraline

I have never cared for assassins (who does?), and assassins who are sneaky little
muskrats are bad even for them. -- Elinterri
P.S.  Not as bad as the Andorians, though.

I thought the Fratsfa Slave would be Fratsfan.  What a disappointment. -- The Golden
Shrimp

Faux -- Another faux win for you.  But we need to explain this to the clerks at the
Commission.  The wins should be showing on MY record. -- Barruk

The Embezzling Scribe was easy.  I like that in an opponent. -- Pikestave
