                                      SPY REPORT

     Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills?  Well 
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for ARKERS.  MVP award for MORRIGAN?  FAR 
TRAVELERS' proud of him after beating DONN and getting 25 points.  Talk about yer 
major upsets!  POTTER SANDS' match with MISS OURIE cost him a loss of 10 points!  Oh, 
wow, like the Duelmaster must be the most popular guy in all ARKERS.  He got the most 
challenges.  (But what about proposals?) Like, BARE KNUCKLES must be pretty gutsy!  
He challenged the Duelmaster from FIGHTING IRISH.  Does this guy have a death wish or 
what!  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 Dripping Blade?  Don't look 
at me!   
     I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies.  Really, I just 
wing this stuff.  FIGHTING IRISH was the most avoided team.  Is a 96-79-3 record 
really that scary?  I don't know what LADIES IN WAITING's been doing.  They certainly 
haven't been accepting many fights from FIGHTING IRISH, that's fer sher.   
     Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds.  All ARKERS ever talks about is fighting!  Me, 
I'm more laid back.  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
