                                      SPY REPORT

     Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills?  Well 
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for ARKERS.  I don't wanna hurt anybody's 
feelings or anything, but LADIES IN WAITING really goofed with their 0-0-0.  MVP 
award for ALPHA?  BOOK OF THOMAS' proud of him after beating LUXOR and getting 19 
points.  Talk about yer major upsets!  LUXOR's match with ALPHA cost him a loss of 18 
points!  What a putz!  CHESHIRE MOON fights so hard to be Duelmaster, then quits 
fighting and loses the title.  No one said he was a genius...  And I was just getting 
used to the ex-Duelmaster's habit of...(!)  Oh well, welcome BARE KNUCKLES.  Aren't 
2249 BOURBON ST proud.  (Oh, my.) Who was the wiseguy that said ARKERS' Duelmaster 
was paying for drinks at The Swinging Aardvark?  Don't look at me!   
     Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right?  Like, is FELDSPAR popular, or 
what?  He was challenged the most in all of ARKERS!  He's got a 14-15-0, is that 
good?  People were asking me did COURTINGDISASTUS REALLY challenge DONN?  (all right, 
maybe they didn't, but it sounded good!) It wasn't a spectacular fight, or anything, 
but DONN wants me to write about it since he overcame COURTINGDISASTUS.  Satisfied?   
     Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds.  All ARKERS ever talks about is fighting!  Me, 
I'm more laid back.  Hey, warriors get killed by other warriors, not by their manager 
sending them to the Dark Arena.  What's wrong with ALIZA's 3-0-0, TYCRON'S GUARD?  
Fight, fight, fight.  Is that all you guys can do?   
     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

Pooka -- DROP ALREADY!!! HOW MANY TIMES... *Takes a deep breath* You need to contact 
my therapist! She needs to understand why I got so... so... -- Crusher walks off in a 
fury

Chas -- Did you like my dress? I kept trying to show it to you but it seemed like it 
made you nervous. -- Brass Brazier

Bertie -- That was PURR-fect!! Such a pleasant lad! We must talk again soon!! -- Uncut 
Sapphire

Abella -- Darling, can we talk about that hurtful "rip your face off" comment? I mean 
really, that's quite gross and totally uncalled for! -- Emerald Emy

Well that was a fun return! On behalf of Master Beru and Baubles, Inc, we are excited 
to announce: WE'RE BACK!!  We did a good bit of experimenting with our early team but 
we think we have a team of contenders now. A few of us will duck out for some 
tournaments from time to time, but otherwise we look forward to making our markers 
here in Arkers! Also, please welcome our newest arrival, Uncut Ruby! -- Crusher
