                                      SPY REPORT

     I was going on vacation, see?  Surf, sun...  But what do those bums say?  "Hit 
the road, Debby Tonte.  STORMCROWE needs a spyreport."  Oh, well.  Like, DEAD SILENCE 
had to be so embarrassed when they got kicked off #1 spot by DARQUE FORCES!  Way to 
go DARQUE FORCES!  What was the name of that team who got 3-1-0 this turn for a total 
120-115-6 you ask?  (Sure)  KNIGHT BREED's their name, and fighting's their game!  
MVP award for FRANK SINATRA?  236 BOURBON ST's proud of it after beating SPACE DANDY 
and getting 17 points.  Talk about yer major upsets!  CHELSEA DAGGER's match with 
KHALHUMS DWARF cost her a loss of 6 points!  What a putz!  ADVANCE SCOUT fights so 
hard to be Duelmaster, then quits fighting and loses the title.  No one said he was a 
genius...  Was that a tear I saw in PAYNE ERYE's eye, as she took over 
Duelmastership?  And wasn't NOBLE ASSASSIN fit to be tied!  Is the Duelmaster really 
being a real snob to his teammates?  Don't ask me!   
     Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right?  THE BLUES 45 was the most avoided 
team.  Is a 20-24-0 record really that scary?  Is there some deep dark secret why 
DEAD SILENCE's been avoiding THE BLUES 45 so much?  Or is it just that they're too 
scared?   
     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!!!   
     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.  Its been 
really albendranius!  Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

All -- It is nice to finally get Raynor out of the arena!  He is the only surviving 
member of the original roll-up sheet.  He has questionable numbers and no knack, but 
he was also designed over 20 years ago.

Raynor -- LU -- 12-8-14-15-17-9-9 G/G.  I doubt many managers would have been as 
patient with him.  He only survived my anger by being the only surviving member of the 
original five gladiators!

The Commission says he likes the SS, HI/VH, RIP tactic, and learns RIP.  I tried out 
the SS on numerous occasions, but he rarely threw any crits with it.  The same goes 
for the rhythm (though I may not have hit the right combo).  As I stated, it is nice 
to have him out of the arena and off to retirement. -- Phantasm, mgr. of Knight Breed

Rev Gary Davis -- If I had my druthers, I would not keep matching up with you!  It is 
a big FE difference, and I am scared it is going to end badly one of these days.  
Also, you aren't the greatest teacher, but that probably does not concern you as much 
as it does me. -- Space Dandy

Advanced Scout -- Good riddance!  My last 3 losses have been against you.  Please go 
to the Dark Arena and think about what you have done! -- Payne Eyre

Gladys Bentley -- I am sorry if that seemed like an excessive challenge.  My options 
are limited, so I try to look up (both figuratively and literally) in the rankings for 
opponents. -- Shieldgore
