SPY REPORT
Oh, hi. Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte. Thought I'd check out ALJAFIR to see
what's new. MVP award for JIMI APPENDIX? BODY OF MUSIC's proud of him after beating
DEBRA ELSITH and getting 12 points. Talk about yer big time losers! DEBRA ELSITH
got smashed by JIMI APPENDIX, and lost 8 points! What a putz! WHIRLING FROGGY
fights so hard to be Duelmaster, then quits fighting and loses the title. No one
said she was a genius... And I was just getting used to the ex-Duelmaster's habit
of...(!) Oh well, welcome FENSTER GOLLY. Aren't MIDDLE WAY proud. (Oh, my.) I hear
the top team insists all their warriors get nine hours sleep. They want photogenic
fighters for PR photos.
Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right?
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!!!
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

PERSONAL ADS
Regarding Pagan's article on challenges and avoids, two points bother me:
First, I can't see any firm ground for his assumption that an avoid is not "used
up" by one challenge and goes on to operate against the second of a double challenge.
There may be such a ground, but I don't think I've ever heard what it is.
And second, something about the math in his final calculation bothers me: where
he says that a double challenge versus a single avoid has a 75% chance of success.
I'm not seeing this at all. The first challenge meets the avoid and has a presumed
50% chance of success. It fails and the second challenge meets the presumably
unexhausted avoid and, to me, it looks like it should, again, have a 50% chance of
success. It's been a LONG time since I had a math class, but I *think* I may recall
that his treatment of the numbers there at the end is not orthodox. Can anyone
either confirm or deny this? Inquiring minds wonder. -- Jorja
We did not get the fights for this turn, despite several attempts of the Commission
to issue reprints, so--
To those we fought -- Good fights. -- We who fought you
