Me again. Of course. Make that three. Not much to say. Pulled out an old, old weapon 
and crunched ole Newt. Sorry, Newt. (Not really.) Good luck to all in Tempe at The 
Face. (Not really.)

                                      SPY REPORT

     Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills?  Well 
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for ROCANIS.  MVP award for ANIMATOR?  KNIGHTS 
OF NI's proud of him after beating RINGER SIMON and getting 18 points.  Talk about 
yer big time losers!  PEACE AND got smashed by RIRORNI SOLDIERS, and lost 14 points!  
The Duelmaster isn't going to stop just cause it's Number One!  NEWT knows this.  He 
was challenged by the Duelmaster.  This Duelmaster is like something else!  AMEX 
stopped NEWT dead in his tracks!  Who was the wiseguy that said ROCANIS' Duelmaster 
was paying for drinks at Mylar's?  Don't look at me!   
     So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway?  It can't be for these 
really neat Spyreports can it?  MIDDLE WAY 20 was the most avoided team.  Is a 
427-489-11 record really that scary?  Hhmph!  What kind of warriors are KNIGHTS OF 
NI?  MIDDLE WAY 20, an easy team to beat if I ever saw one, can't get them to accept 
an invitation!  Can MIDDLE WAY 20's ELIN GALLIO be more popular than me?  She was 
challenged the most, but is that really the same?   
     Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other!  Don't you guys ever give 
it a break?  Fight, fight, fight.  Is that all you guys can do?   
     I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid.  Who would've guessed I'd be 
a famous Spyreporter?  I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it 
quits.  I had a fun time, see you 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
