                                      SPY REPORT

     I was going on vacation, see?  Surf, sun...  But what do those bums say?  "Hit 
the road, Debby Tonte.  MURSKA needs a spyreport."  Oh, well.  MVP award for STUPID?  
LOST CAUSE's proud of him after beating LAELAMESTO and getting 22 points.  Talk about 
yer major upsets!  CLYDE's match with BOOMSHAKALAKA cost him a loss of 17 points!  
Like, ALE'CHAI TALLSKY must be pretty gutsy!  It challenged the Duelmaster from BUSY, 
BUSYTOWN.  Does this beast have a death wish or what!  And I was just getting used to 
the ex-Duelmaster's habit of...(!)  Oh well, welcome ALE'CHAI TALLSKY.  Aren't 
PHILANTHROPISTS proud.  (Oh, my.) Who was the wiseguy that said MURSKA's Duelmaster 
was paying for drinks at The Dragon's Hangover?  Don't look at me!   
     Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right?  LOST CAUSE was MURSKA's most 
avoided team.  Is there some award for that?  Is there some deep dark secret why 
PHILANTHROPISTS' been avoiding LOST CAUSE so much?  Or is it just that they're too 
scared?  Can LOST CAUSE's CLYDE be more popular than me?  He was challenged the most, 
but is that really the same?  For sure, I was holding my breath when I found out UGLY 
GENTLEMAN challenged BRENNA.  After all, haven't PHILANTHROPISTS and CHILDREN OF LLYR 
had a long standing duel in MURSKA?  It wasn't a spectacular fight, or anything, but 
BRENNA wants me to write about it since she was overcame by UGLY GENTLEMAN.  
Satisfied?   
     Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds.  All MURSKA 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 gotta leave.  MURSKA is like such a dump, and you guys smell too much!  Its 
been really albendranius!  Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

Tourney Scum -- Graduate. -- Drendan O'Kai

Boomshakalaka -- But I *wanted* to bury you in the sand.  I wanted to see if you'd
sound like a maracca...marraca?  Whatever.  If you'd rattle afterward. -- Bildis

Those Dangerous Criminals are just the pits. -- Brenna

Pacifist -- That's a crock.  You're a standing provocation to violence. -- Angus
Argus

Knuckle -- I was hoping you'd turn into a pussycat.  I know the Commission says
you're Ratani, but they get so many things wrong, and anyway a Ratani is just a
sneaky Aruaki, and, well, I would've liked to see you turn into a pussycat. --
Evindal
P.S.  I had a can all ready to tie to your tail.

Brute -- Rest in peace, if possible, and watch out for necromancers, who I understand
have become a plague on the dead in Alastari.  Life is hard and death isn't always
the end for a gladiator. -- Evindal
