SPY REPORT
I was going on vacation, see? Surf, sun... But what do those bums say? "Hit
the road, Debby Tonte. DAL SHANG needs a spyreport." Oh, well. Like, SAND DANCERS
had to be so embarrassed when they got kicked off #1 spot by DIRTY SOUTH! Way to go
DIRTY SOUTH! Uncool, MYSTERY MACHINE. I mean 1-3-0 is bad. Will they will be
allowed to fight? I say use 'em for training practice! The guys at DIRTY SOUTH like
really pulled together to get a 4-0-0 this turn, moving up by 4. MVP award for MERRI
HOLIDAZE? MARVELOUS BASTARDS' proud of her after beating THE SWAMI and getting 20
points. Was that a tear I saw in MANO TIKI TIA's eye, as it took over
Duelmastership? And wasn't CAPTAIN AWESOME fit to be tied! I hear the top team
insists all their warriors get nine hours sleep. They want photogenic fighters for
PR photos.
I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies. Really, I just
wing this stuff. MYSTERY MACHINE was DAL SHANG's most avoided team. Is there some
award for that? Is there some deep dark secret why PARANOIA's been avoiding MYSTERY
MACHINE so much? Or is it just that they're too scared? SUBTLE DECEIPT must not be
a good enough fighter to get in fair fights. He challenged LORGAN TEN VARN. 14 is a
big difference. (Well, that's what they tell me.) I thought SUBTLE DECEIPT showed
great skill and promise when he was defeated by LORGAN TEN VARN. All right, so I
slept through it! Big deal!
What does a fighter fight for? I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone
gets killed. Not after four more fights. 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 know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really should stop. Its
been really albendranius! Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

Captain Awesome -- It was not necessary to hit me on the head. I had already gotten
the point, and you messed up my hair. -- Jesse Tavan
Kudzu Killer -- (crossly) Do I look like a kudzu to you? -- Tebas ten Kogan
P.S. They're...some kind of antelope, right? Big twisty horns.
Magic City Mauler -- Hey! I'm not a magic city! Knock it off! (And I don't mean
"knock my block off," either.) -- Kassal ten Dru
Agent Orange -- I didn't need that. I could have lived quite happily without it,
which is, of course, the point. -- Ghost of Lin-Vao den Ko
Merri Holidaze -- I will agree that you're marvelous, within reason, but I can't pass
judgment on your mother. I never met her. -- Churro the Spike
Reverend Kilgore -- Killbillies, ha ha, yes, very clever name. Now let go of my
throat! -- Dakoril
Billy Badaxe -- Thanks to the gods that you weren't USING an axe for that one. --
Gobarl
Crimson Crush -- Ah. I knew you were sinister, the minute I saw you take your weapon
in your left hand. That's a sure sign. -- Ragolas

Due to requests, the Turf War IV will be postponed until turn 225 (approx May/June

let's find out!
Prizes are: 1st. Renaming of a Dark Arena monster and five roll-up
certificates or $25.00 deposited in your account.
2nd. Renaming of a Stand-In monster.
Come on and celebrate the Delarquan way!
