SPY REPORT
I was going on vacation, see? Surf, sun... But what do those bums say? "Hit
the road, Debby Tonte. WILLAF needs a spyreport." Oh, well. MVP award for CHANCE?
SERPENTS HOLD 114's proud of him after beating EMBEZZLING SCRIBE and getting 21
points. Talk about yer big time losers! DEE NILE got smashed by KUNG-FU MASTER, and
lost 8 points! 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? MAXIMUM RESULTS was the most avoided team. Is a
337-410-24 record really that scary? I don't know what GOLDEN GLADIATORS' been
doing. They certainly haven't been accepting many fights from MAXIMUM RESULTS,
that's fer sher. Like, is GOLDPLATED popular, or what? It was challenged the most
in all of WILLAF! It's got a 13-5-0, is that good? People were asking me did GALEN
REALLY challenge JOHN DERE? (all right, maybe they didn't, but it sounded good!) It
wasn't a spectacular fight, or anything, but JOHN DERE wants me to write about it
since he beat GALEN. Satisfied?
Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All WILLAF ever talks about is fighting! Me,
I'm more laid back. 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'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it quits. Remember
you guys, ease up sometimes! Chill out! Later, Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
It is not often that two of one's own warriors tie for the top, hence disallowing a
DM and all claims therein. I was robbed! I say I WAS ROBBED! A salute, anyway, to
my own Gold Charm and Gold Locket, both true Duelmasters. -- Midas, Golden Gladiators
Khisanth -- Was that FOUR DA's lately? FOUR?! I didn't like any of 'em either.
(wink) -- Midas
Horus Mann -- I thank you for the opportunity to fight, and defeat, you, as it
propelled me to the DM Throne. -- Gold Charm
No way! I defeated Ripley Byrd, and now I (ME : Gold Locket) am Duelmaster. -- Gold
Locket
Kung-Fu Master -- I had fun beating you. Isn't your style supposed to handle me
easily? Well, thanks for the Christmas gift! -- Goldplated
Pressure -- I put some pressure on you and you deflated. -- Good As Gold
Fission -- A salute to you as you withstood my charm. -- Gold Dubloon (now slightly
depreciated)
All -- Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. -- Midas and The Golden Gladiators
Glory Disciples -- Teacher told me you are coming to our fine Willaf arena. WELCOME.
My Golden Gladiators will be pleased to mix it up with you. I want to congratulate
you on a fine start-up showing in N. I., and wish you success and long-life in
Willaf. -- Midas, Golden Gladiatord (Consortium affiliated)
So! Do I need to come back and show you what it means to be Duelmaster? -- Lord
Protector Billy Jack
Hmm, a tourney spy report, and we see a lot of Willavians--ones we would have been
glad to cross glances with here at home--dead! But we salute 'em anyway. -- Jorja
and the Punny Aminals
Longing Leggings -- That did NOT happen. I say it did NOT. -- Dee Nile
P.S. Besides, you aren't my size.
Gold Charm -- Charming, I'm sure, but what about solid worth? -- Horus Mann
Gold Locket -- I was doing okay without that loss. Well, not as okay as I might've
liked, but seriously, what did YOU need the win for? -- Ripley Byrd, feeling
aggrieved
Snake -- You certainly wrapped it up for us. Annoying of you, but then, you're a
snake. Annoying is probably your middle name. -- John Dere
