SPY REPORT
Oh, hi. Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte. Thought I'd check out WILLAF to see
what's new. Too bad, PUNNY AMINALS, but POWER LEGION was just too good to be
stopped. MVP award for PENNY LOPEZ? PUNNY AMINALS' proud of her after beating
KHALHUMS DWARF and getting 15 points. Talk about yer major upsets! HEART OF GOLD's
match with FISSION cost her a loss of 3 points! What a putz! KUROHANA 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 PENNY LOPE. Aren't PUNNY AMINALS proud. (Oh, my.) I hear the top team
insists all their warriors get nine hours sleep. They want photogenic fighters for
PR photos.
I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies. Really, I just
wing this stuff. The warriors of YAMABUSHI must be getting lonely. They were the
most avoided team. Do you guys know something that I don't? Is there some deep dark
secret why GOLDEN GLADIATORS' been avoiding YAMABUSHI so much? Or is it just that
they're too scared? Can POWER LEGION's PRESSURE be more popular than me? He was
challenged the most, but is that really the same?
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 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. WILLAF is like such a dump, and you guys smell too much!
Remember you guys, ease up sometimes! Chill out! Later, Debby Tonte

Well, well. A Yamabushi on top of Willaf! A salute to Kurohana. -- Midas and The
Golden Gladiators
P.S. Congrats, also, on the invite.
Coyote -- I do not believe there is a definite and consistent opinion as to what it
means when the fans say "brilliant" or "thunder and lightning" or...some feel it
means nothing. Probably a larger group (us included) will say it means one or both
(not sure which) are running on favorite rhythms. I do not believe anyone thinks it
has something to do with using the favorite weapon. -- Mino
Tidal -- That was a wave and it was filled with gold! -- Gold-Plated
Bodokumo -- You were too much for me. Salute. -- Heart Of Gold
Kildilli -- I hung on. That's about all I did. -- On Golden Pond
Midas -- All input is welcome here. And I agree also, meaning I realize I should
fight all my warriors. But I am running another experiment. After the FTF I should
run a full team. -- Coyote
Kurohana -- Good one. That'll teach me not to skimp on my training! -- Penny Lope
Tanoshii -- Um...can I plead Attention Deficit Syndrome? -- Penny Lopez
Taikutsu -- For some reason, when I hear your name I think "Fish for dinner." Since
I don't much like fish for dinner, this tends to put me off. Hmm. Maybe if I
remember to bring a lemon next time? -- Dunroe Minh
On Golden Pond -- Ah, the weather strikes. I was going to go fishing, in order to
annoy my teammate Dunroe, and you were FROZEN. I could have gone ice fishing, of
course, but...I just didn't want to. -- Kildilli Dall
P.S. I know some of those ice fishers have little stoves in their huts on the ice to
keep warm, but I just don't TRUST things like that. It seems all WRONG.
Noxon -- If that is a maximum result, I think you might have a problem. Your strokes
are good, so maybe it's your follow-through? -- Ondo Fleur
Midas -- The partridge in OUR pear tree is supposed to be dinner! It had better be a
little bigger, and we don't care about all those skill-gaining stats. -- Jorja
Coyote -- Absolutely not. Those "voices off" are simply local color. -- Jorja
Our congratulations to Kurohana. -- Jorja and the Punny Animals
L. Protector Kurohana -- We offer, of course, our-- What? Oh, he is? Well, good.
Lord Protector Kurohana, we offer our congratulations to you on this auspicious
occasion. Could we interest you in an ice-fishing concession? -- Tevik Zokharj,
Distributor of Lands for Willaf Arena
