                                      SPY REPORT

     I can't believe the violence in ZENSU!  I still haven't told Mom I'm writing 
Spyreports.  She'd have a cow!  Well, here we go...  Uncool, BATTLE SCHOOL.  I mean 
0-0-0 is bad.  Will they will be allowed to fight?  I say use 'em for training 
practice!  APES OF WRATH like really fought hard to move up to 9th from 13th.  Way to 
go!  One team deserves special mention 'cause they moved up 0 after going 4-1-0.  
Keep it up, THE DISC!  MVP award for CMOT DIBBLER?  THE DISC's proud of him after 
beating QUEENSRYCHE and getting 21 points.  Talk about yer major upsets!  
QUEENSRYCHE's match with CMOT DIBBLER cost him a loss of 16 points!  This Duelmaster 
is like something else!  SUSAN STO HELIT stopped JIMMY CRICKET dead in his tracks!  I 
hear the top team insists all their warriors get nine hours sleep.  They want 
photogenic fighters for PR photos.   
     So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway?  It can't be for these 
really neat Spyreports can it?  STEELY TEN was the most avoided team.  Is a 2-8-0 
record really that scary?  I don't know what EXOTIC TASTES' been doing.  They 
certainly haven't been accepting many fights from STEELY TEN, that's fer sher.  Can 
BEYOND THE PALE's TIGER ELF be more popular than me?  He was challenged the most, but 
is that really the same?  People were asking me did SCOOTER REALLY challenge SIANNA?  
(all right, maybe they didn't, but it sounded good!) It wasn't a spectacular fight, 
or anything, but SIANNA wants me to write about it since she bested SCOOTER.  
Satisfied?  FRY GUY must not be a good enough fighter to get in fair fights.  He 
challenged TERIS.  9 is a big difference.  (Well, that's what they tell me.) I 
thought FRY GUY showed great skill and promise when he bested TERIS.  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?  Hey you guys, don't you think your families would like to hear from you? 
Write!  (Or have someone write for you.)  
     Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain.  Soak it in cold water, and hand 
wash.  I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it quits.  Remember 
you guys, ease up sometimes!  Chill out!  Later, Debby Tonte

Notice -- Good luck to all Zensueans in the coming tournament. -- Wimpy
P.S.  Zensueans???

Looks like the sales figures just aren't high enough in Zensu, so the Steely Ten tour
is moving on...but thanks to both of you who actually bought tickets.  You know what
they say...beat the crap out of me once, shame on you; beat the crap out of me twice,
shame on me.  Consider us all shamed. -- Dan Steel

Jophan -- Hey there, fella!  Can ya show the new folks around town? -- CMOT Dibbler

Gaucho -- Hey dere.  Not a wise move, if ya know wot I mean. -- Crysophase

Leadfoot -- Ow!  For a little guy, you're surely hard on the toes! -- Arnie El Shew

CMOT Dibbler -- (heavy sigh)  I hate that.  It makes me feel so useless.  And I
already knew I didn't like hospitals.  (sigh) -- Jophan

Crazy Loon -- Now you're a crazy PERFORATED loon.  I enjoyed that so much, I figured
I'd teach you a bunch of skills just to say thanks. -- Tiger Elf

Fry Guy -- Well, I'm glad it was onion rings you were tossing (pause), quite tasty,
really, instead of horse shoes.  But still, that was my bad shoulder.  Now I won't be
able to play basketball for weeks. -- Teris

Jimmy Cricket -- That was a great match, even if I did lose in the end. -- Sianna

Shews don't eat horses.  I don't care what kind of rumors and gossip are flying
around, we do NOT eat horses. -- Arnie

     What have you got against horses? -- Ed.

Mud Duck -- (smug look)  I can keep my mud in a ball. -- Tiger Elf
