                                      SPY REPORT

     Oh, hi.  Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte.  Thought I'd check out NIANIA to see 
what's new.  MVP award for CORTICAL GIANT?  HOMUNCULUS' proud of him after beating 
CONVICTED THIEF and getting 13 points.  Don't you think the Duelmaster is being 
unfair?  I think OOZING MY MIND should let ANSWER PACK be Duelmaster for a while, 
without fighting about it.  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.  THE RUNAROUND 
was NIANIA's most avoided team.  Is there some award for that?  Hhmph!  What kind of 
warriors are YELLOWSTONE YOGIS?  THE RUNAROUND, an easy team to beat if I ever saw 
one, can't get them to accept an invitation!  Can THE GOLDEN FISH's PETER NETLEY be 
more popular than me?  He was challenged the most, but is that really the same?  
PIG'S FEET must not be a good enough fighter to get in fair fights.  He challenged 
BUTTER THE BEST.  8 is a big difference.  (Well, that's what they tell me.) I thought 
PIG'S FEET showed great skill and promise when he lost to BUTTER THE BEST.  All 
right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     What does a fighter fight for?  I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone 
gets killed.  Not after four more fights.  Hey you guys, don't you think your 
families would like to hear from you?  Write!  (Or have someone write for you.)  
     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
