                                      SPY REPORT

     Oh, hi.  Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte.  Thought I'd check out MALCORN to see 
what's new.  The guys at TRIPLE CROWN like really pulled together to get a 3-0-0 this 
turn, moving up by 4.  MVP award for INDEMOS?  STARBASE 5's proud of him after 
beating XANE REAVER and getting 27 points.  Talk about yer major upsets!  SLAYVER's 
match with TENDER LOIN cost him a loss of 13 points!  Like TRIPLE CROWN's AFFIRMED is 
sweating since he got challenged by Duelmaster MEAT GRINDER!  And I was just getting 
used to the ex-Duelmaster's habit of...(!)  Oh well, welcome AFFIRMED.  Aren't TRIPLE 
CROWN proud.  (Oh, my.) Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to his teammates?  
Don't ask me!   
     So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway?  It can't be for these 
really neat Spyreports can it?  MEAT MARKET was MALCORN's most avoided team.  Is 
there some award for that?  I don't know what DARK CREATION's been doing.  They 
certainly haven't been accepting many fights from MEAT MARKET, that's fer sher.  
Like, is CHARISMATIC popular, or what?  He was challenged the most in all of MALCORN! 
He's got a 30-24-0, is that good?  People were asking me did FOREVER REALLY challenge 
CHARISMATIC?  (all right, maybe they didn't, but it sounded good!) It wasn't a 
spectacular fight, or anything, but CHARISMATIC wants me to write about it since he 
defeated FOREVER.  Satisfied?  ENVY must not be a good enough fighter to get in fair 
fights.  She challenged PERIWINKLE.  12 is a big difference.  (Well, that's what they 
tell me.) I thought ENVY showed great skill and promise when she won victory over 
PERIWINKLE.  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.  What a bummer!  COUNT KOMA got wasted by 
BUTCHER!  But with a 7-12-0, I guess STARBASE 5 aren't too bummed.  What a bunch of 
heartless!  I couldn't believe how many people were snickering when INDEMOS killed 
XANE REAVER.  So he had a 18-17-0, that's no excuse!  I was so shocked when INDEMOS 
killed XANE REAVER I just about swallows my gum!  And do you think STARBASE 5 really 
wants a Bloodfeud from DARK CREATION?  Enough already!  All I've heard lately is 
"Will PHILANTHROPISTS Bloodfeud TENDER LOIN of MEAT MARKET to revenge PHILOSOPHER's 
death?"  I mean, who cares?  GREENWARDENS let MIKLO of WEST COAST WARRIORS kill 
WASPTONGUE unpunished.  That's really low.  (Even if WASPTONGUE was kind of a 
jerk...) What if they had a fight and nobody showed up?  I'd be out of a job, that's 
what!!!   
     Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain.  Soak it in cold water, and hand 
wash.  I gotta leave.  MALCORN is like such a dump, and you guys smell too much!  Its 
been really albendranius!  Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

Hob L. D' Hoy -- Unfortunately my foolish management on that turn cost me a
victory....  Maul!  What was I thinking?? -- Lucian, Mgr. Feelings
P.S.  At least I THINK it cost me a victory.

Indemos -- Does that mean you owe money?  Or you collect for people who have money
owed to them?  The indemnity thing, you know. -- Patterson Pine
P.S.  You certainly teach well.  Thanks.

Cleaver -- Yep, that's a big one, but not much use in a bathtub.  No room to swing
it, you know? -- Jessalin

Loss -- Now, that's just wrong.  YOU should be experiencing your namesake, so you
UNDERSTAND it. -- Tree Shadow

Hellwraith -- Ah, but you're my hero!  JUST the kind of man I could go for. -- Hob L.
D'Hoy

Defeat -- One to start with, so that you know whereof you represent. -- Periwinkle

Strada -- Ah!  After the sun goes down, I'm EVERYTHING.  I am all there is. -- Tree
Shadow

Unnamed (Indemos?) -- Nah, I never did care about dolls much.  I always liked to be
running with scissors. -- Jessalin

All -- I've seen what's on the forum.  So I'm prey, am I, Max.  You and all your
devious buddies will become my prey, even those I thought okay.  I don't have to
explain anything I do, much like yourselves so bring it on.  Feel free to come over

to 31 for a thrashing.  Oh, by the way, I am also in a new alliance.  They tend to
share my sentiments about the VC.  If they follow me or not, we will see; I'm not at
liberty to talk for them.  The VC may be on their last stand!!!! -- Blackstorm
