                                      SPY REPORT

     I can't believe the violence in ALJAFIR!  I still haven't told Mom I'm writing 
Spyreports.  She'd have a cow!  Well, here we go...  Too bad, MIDDLE WAY, but WHEN 
EAGLES DARE was just too good to be stopped.  MVP award for OBELISK?  WHEN EAGLES 
DARE's proud of it after beating YOU SCREAM and getting 11 points.  Talk about yer 
big time losers!  GREEN BEANS got smashed by SENLUM NOSH, and lost 11 points!  The 
Duelmaster isn't going to stop just cause he's Number One!  ZOMBIE knows this.  It 
was challenged by the Duelmaster.  Don't you think the Duelmaster is being unfair?  I 
think JUNIOR VASQUEZ should let ZOMBIE be Duelmaster for a while, without fighting 
about it.  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.  ZOMBIE SQUAD 2 was the most avoided team.  Is a 32-30-2 record 
really that scary?  Is there some deep dark secret why WHEN EAGLES DARE's been 
avoiding ZOMBIE SQUAD 2 so much?  Or is it just that they're too scared?  WURDEN must 
not be a good enough fighter to get in fair fights.  It challenged BARNUM CHELLS.  9 
is a big difference.  (Well, that's what they tell me.) I thought WURDEN showed great 
skill and promise when it beat BARNUM CHELLS.  All right, so I slept through it!  Big 
deal!   
     Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other!  Don't you guys ever give 
it a break?  Fight, fight, fight.  Is that all you guys can do?   
     I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid.  Who would've guessed I'd be 
a famous Spyreporter?  I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really 
should stop.  Its been really albendranius!  Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

Just short stuff, probably, because we're late.  An amazing thunderstorm has
interfered with the normal flight of the lightning pigeons. -- the Middle Way

Hmm, how about "just short stuff" because... we went 2-3 and we're embarrassed?

Junior Vasquez -- I can see that you're destined to go far, and the sooner the
better. -- Alida Bern

Zombie -- You zombie guys give me a grue, and that makes it hard to fight well. --
Bellona Chist

Green Beans -- That'll do it. -- Senlum Nosh

Candied Yams -- NO!  I say NO to candied yams.  Ugh. -- Kaireen Lamar

Obelisk -- Ah... tall stone column?  Just stands there, right?  Except for possibly
mystical properties, of course.  Well, somebody had to lose this fight, and I'm kinda
glad it was you.  I'll take a loss on the next, okay? -- Barnum Chells
