SPY REPORT
I was going on vacation, see? Surf, sun... But what do those bums say? "Hit
the road, Debby Tonte. NIYTYOLE ISLAND needs a spyreport." Oh, well. MVP award for
JUBILEE? GIRL SCOUT COOKIES' proud of it after beating KING FISHER and getting 24
points. Talk about yer big time losers! RYANATOR got smashed by CONDOR, and lost 9
points! Was that a tear I saw in SCOT TEA's eye, as it took over Duelmastership?
And wasn't FALLSWORTH fit to be tied! Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to
his teammates? Don't ask me!
AAARRGH!!! I HATE SPYREPORTING!!! Sorry. I just had to say it. Can THE
WARBIRDS' OSPRY be more popular than me? She was challenged the most, but is that
really the same? Speaking of challenging 32 points above did you hear about ORANGE
PARK of HOMES vs. GIRL SCOUT COOKIES' KOOKABURRA? (And how was that intro!) What did
ORANGE PARK expect, anyway! Of course KOOKABURRA won. Next time stick to people you
have a chance against, dummy!
Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other! Don't you guys ever give
it a break? Like, who is this beast??? VEGETIUS gets sent to the Dark Arena,
battles GERELIN LOSTFIRE, and returns to tell of it!!! I bet OBSIDIAN HALL manager
is surprised! Hey you guys, don't you think your families would like to hear from
you? Write! (Or have someone write for you.)
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. Remember you guys, ease up sometimes! Chill out! Later, Debby Tonte

Samoa -- Practice. -- Orange Park
Well, what do you want to be called, Shoto or Hoffa? I'll credit you either way.
-- Livia
Kookaburra -- You graduated at a bad time. The only land we've got available at
the moment are a couple of lots in the cemetary. However, there's always the
chance that something will turn up--some old miser die of the cold, for instance,
and leave his entire estate to the government of Niatoli, or something like that.
We'll give you a raincheck, if one of the cemetary plots doesn't appeal. --
Arenamaster Kaghal
PS. Join me in lobbying for better government on this island of Niatoli. OTHER
arenamasters don't have to handle ALL the details themselves, the way I do.

All DM Arenas -- Are there any other managers in the West Tennessee area? If so, I'd
like to hear from you! Diplo Dirt Nap, mgr. Dragonmasters, DM-10.

TOURNEY PRIZE REMINDER
This is just to remeind all managers with unused tourney prizes that these prizes
must be used within six months of the tourney in which the prize was won. Prizes left
unused after six months will become invalid. Please contact Customer Service to use
your prize as soon as possible.
CENSUS FORM UPDATE
The Gladiatorial Commission would like to thank all the managers who have been so
kind as to correct the few mistakes we may have made in noting the races of your
warriors in our files. At this point we are beginning to work on the warriors listed
as "Other" on the census forms, and we would like to issue a reminder that if you have
a warrior who qualifies as an "Other," please let us know. In other words, if your
warrior is a cat, please let us know he's a cat rather than penciling him in as an
Aruaki--the Temple of Demnat gets very touchy about this sort of thing. Likewise for
warriors now classified as golems--if your warrior is a specific type of magical
construct, summoned spirit, or the like, please provide us with as much detail as
possible.
Alarond the Scribe, for the
Gladiatorial Commission
