                                      SPY REPORT

     Oh, hi.  Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte.  Thought I'd check out MORYA to see 
what's new.  Too bad, BIG LAKE PURE, but BASH BROS BODY was just too good to be 
stopped.  BIG SHOTS like really fought hard to move up to 5th from 8th.  Way to go!  
Cut this out and put it in your scrapbooks, BASH BROS BODY!  'Cause they got 5-0-0 
and moved up to 1st!  MVP award for OLIVE OIL?  BOOK OF THOMAS' proud of it after 
beating GRESHA THE BASHER and getting 21 points.  Talk about yer big time losers!  
GRESHA THE BASHER got smashed by OLIVE OIL, and lost 18 points!  Like FORCE OF FIVE's 
BOOMERANG is sweating since he got challenged by Duelmaster THE FIXER!  This 
Duelmaster is like something else!  THE FIXER stopped BOOMERANG dead in his tracks!  
Who was the wiseguy that said MORYA's Duelmaster was paying for drinks at Arthur's 
Last Stand?  Don't look at me!   
     I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies.  Really, I just 
wing this stuff.  The warriors of BIG LAKE PURE 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 BASH BROS BODY's been avoiding BIG LAKE PURE so much?  Or is it just 
that they're too scared?  Can KRYDOR'S ELITE's KRAVEN DU'ET URDEN be more popular 
than me?  He was challenged the most, but is that really the same?  GIDREK THUMBTOE 
is being unfair.  He's challenged down 36 against JUGGERNAUT.  I don't know why they 
let this stuff go on.  (I'd better shut up) Is this how BIG LAKE PURE advances, by 
having their members (GIDREK THUMBTOE) fight people that are really below them 
(JUGGERNAUT)?  MORYA CHAMPION must not be a good enough fighter to get in fair 
fights.  It challenged KRAVEN DU'ET URDEN.  8 is a big difference.  (Well, that's 
what they tell me.) I thought MORYA CHAMPION showed great skill and promise when it 
subdued KRAVEN DU'ET URDEN.  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?  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 gotta leave.  MORYA is like such a dump, and you guys smell 
too much!  Remember you guys, ease up sometimes!  Chill out!  Later, Debby Tonte

                        TEAM AND CHARACTER MAINTENANCE SERVICE

     As a service to all managers, we offer team and character maintenance.  This 
option allows you to make sure your team or selected warriors will never miss a turn!

     Team Maintenance:  This will cause all warriors on that team to fight every 
     turn; if it's an AD arena, any new warriors who arrive on that team will 
     fight the turn they arrive.  In A.D. or in transfer arenas where you have 
     multiple teams, each team will need to separately be on Team Maintenance.  
     (The only exception is new warriors; they will not fight until they have had 
     their initial strategy input.)  

     Character Maintenance:  This will cause only that warrior to fight every 
     turn.  If the character graduates or changes arenas, he/she/it will stay on 
     Character Maintenance.

     In either case, you may submit strategy sheets for your warriors each turn, if 
you wish.  The Team/Character Maintenance will make sure your warriors fight each 
turn, and they will always use their most recently entered strategy.
     Remember that challenges, avoids, and challenge/if challenged strategies will not 
carry through from turn to turn.  These sections are only used on the turn they are 
entered.  In order to continually challenge or avoid you will need to submit a 
strategy sheet each time. 
     One other thing to remember about maintenance:  Maintenance is not something 
that you write on your turnsheet (like in demo tourneys).  In order to add or remove 
maintenance for a team or warrior, you must send a note to Customer Service.  If you 
just write things like this on your strategy sheet, they may or may not get done.  
Likewise, don't write it on your personal ads.  Please, please, please put it on a 
separate piece of paper with "Customer Service" written on the top.  If you don't, 
well, you can imagine.
     Thanks for your time.  Good luck in Duelmasters! -- Green Eyes
