                                      SPY REPORT

     I was going on vacation, see?  Surf, sun...  But what do those bums say?  "Hit 
the road, Debby Tonte.  VALAMANTIS needs a spyreport."  Oh, well.  MVP award for 
MELANIE PIERCE?  MIDDLE WAY 10's proud of her after beating CAPTURED ORC and getting 
9 points.  Talk about yer major upsets!  OLIVIA QUINN's match with SOULBANE cost her 
a loss of 6 points!  And I was just getting used to the ex-Duelmaster's habit 
of...(!)  Oh well, welcome PETE MOSS.  Aren't MIDDLE WAY 10 proud.  (Oh, my.) 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?  SAVAGE was the most avoided team.  Is a 22-15-1 
record really that scary?  I don't know what ALTERED STATES II's been doing.  They 
certainly haven't been accepting many fights from SAVAGE, that's fer sher.   
     What does a fighter fight for?  I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone 
gets killed.  Not after four more fights.  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.  Remember you guys, ease up sometimes!  Chill out!  Later, Debby Tonte

                                    Just a note:

Our DM writers (both staff and players) put quite a bit of effort into writing content 
for the newsletters:  spy reports, spotlights, and personal ads; fiction and non-
fiction.  If you enjoy these, if you want more, or even if they make you laugh, it 
would be kind if you could drop a personal ad or even send them a note.  

Assur and Consortium, especially, put tremendous effort in Noblish Island, writing new 
content and tweaking/correcting older content to help new players learn the game.  

A special shoutout should also go to our varied human spy reporters in the ADM arenas, 
Seam, Chimlevtal, Shadowspire, Telorinthe, and occasionallly contest arenas.  

Kudos and thank you to all of our writers!  I'm sure we don't thank you enough.
