                                      SPY REPORT

     I can't believe the violence in ILLIS!  I still haven't told Mom I'm writing 
Spyreports.  She'd have a cow!  Well, here we go...  MVP award for CLAYBORN?  NEXUS 
5's proud of him after beating VENAL CLERK and getting 20 points.  Talk about yer 
major upsets!  JUST ONE IS OK's match with BELLOWS cost him a loss of 12 points!  
Don't you think the Duelmaster is being unfair?  I think PILLOW FIGHT should let 
DOOMIE JUGGERNAUT be Duelmaster for a while, without fighting about it.  Who was the 
wiseguy that said ILLIS' Duelmaster was paying for drinks at The Warty Toad?  Don't 
look at me!   
     I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies.  Really, I just 
wing this stuff.  The warriors of BOOK OF THOMAS must be getting lonely.  They were 
the most avoided team.  Do you guys know something that I don't?  I don't know what 
IMPROVED ILLUSION's been doing.  They certainly haven't been accepting many fights 
from BOOK OF THOMAS, that's fer sher.  Can ISLANDERS' HULA MIA be more popular than 
me?  She was challenged the most, but is that really the same?  I'm not so sure 
MUJURO UTSUTSU knew all the facts when he challenged HULA MIA of ISLANDERS.  I saw 
MUJURO UTSUTSU stumbling and dribbling at The Warty Toad last week...  Do you think 
MUJURO UTSUTSU knew something before he challenged HULA MIA?  He got a win and 25 
points.  What will the guy do next?   
     What does a fighter fight for?  I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone 
gets killed.  Not after four more fights.  Like was that some Bloodfeud, or what?  
(ZARUKO vs. FISHHOOK, that is.) Enough already!  All I've heard lately is "Will NEXUS 
5 Bloodfeud PILLOW FIGHT of BOOK OF THOMAS to revenge MACCABEE's death?"  I mean, who 
cares?  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.  Its been really albendranius!  Later, guys-- Debby Tonte
