                                      SPY REPORT

     Oh, hi.  Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte.  Thought I'd check out ILLIS to see 
what's new.  MVP award for HIGHER POWER?  BASHAHOLICS ANON's proud of him after 
beating FISHHOOK and getting 17 points.  Talk about yer major upsets!  HARBOR SEAL's 
match with KRYSMOPOMPAS cost him a loss of 9 points!  The Duelmaster isn't going to 
stop just cause he's Number One!  SPYMASTER knows this.  He was Dark Arena Challenged 
by the Duelmaster.  The crowds were amazed this turn, as SPYMASTER killed the 
Duelmaster, JUST ONE IS OK, leaving BASHAHOLICS ANON in mourning.  FISHHOOK gets to 
be new Duelmaster.  But doesn't this mean people might try to kill him, too?  I hear 
the top team insists all their warriors get nine hours sleep.  They want photogenic 
fighters for PR photos.   
     Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right?  ISLANDERS was the most avoided 
team.  Is a 480-616-19 record really that scary?  Is there some deep dark secret why 
BASHAHOLICS ANON's been avoiding ISLANDERS so much?  Or is it just that they're too 
scared?  Like, is TIKI popular, or what?  He was challenged the most in all of ILLIS! 
He's got a 17-19-1, is that good?  SINCLAIR must not be a good enough fighter to get 
in fair fights.  He challenged TIKI.  11 is a big difference.  (Well, that's what 
they tell me.) I thought SINCLAIR showed great skill and promise when he defeated 
TIKI.  All right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds.  All ILLIS ever talks about is fighting!  Me, 
I'm more laid back.  Fight, fight, fight.  Is that all you guys can do?   
     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.  I had a fun 
time, see you later-- Debby Tonte
