Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte. Thought I'd check out TELORINTHE to see what's new. Like, KAME HOUSE had to be so embarrassed when they got kicked off #1 spot by CLASSICS! Way to go CLASSICS! Uncool, THE FEROCIOUS FIVE. I mean 1-3-0 is bad. Will they will be allowed to fight? I say use 'em for training practice! THE DRAGONS like really fought hard to move up to 3rd from 8th. Way to go! MVP award for AJA? CLASSICS' proud of him after beating GIBBERS and getting 16 points. Talk about yer big time losers! SHAMINO got smashed by REPUS GROVER, and lost 14 points! Oh, wow, like the Duelmaster must be the most popular beast in all TELORINTHE. It got the most challenges. (But what about proposals?) Like, 0-2 COUNT must be pretty gutsy! It challenged the Duelmaster from THE FEROCIOUS FIVE. Does this beast have a death wish or what! And I was just getting used to the ex-Duelmaster's habit of...(!) Oh well, welcome 0-2 COUNT. Aren't BAD SIGNS 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? The warriors of CLASSICS must be getting lonely. They were the most avoided team. Do you guys know something that I don't? Is there some deep dark secret why CIXELSID HEROES' been avoiding CLASSICS so much? Or is it just that they're too scared? People were asking me did BROTHER AIDAN REALLY challenge READY TO DIE? (all right, maybe they didn't, but it sounded good!) It wasn't a spectacular fight, or anything, but READY TO DIE wants me to write about it since she beat BROTHER AIDAN. Satisfied? Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other! Don't you guys ever give it a break? THE DRAGONS let SHAMINO of SUPER BRASH BROTHERS kill IRONTAIL unpunished. That's really low. (Even if IRONTAIL was kind of a jerk...) 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.

Uh, I'm sorry to ask this, but I'm kind of confused. Were you Rean or Raf? You see I thought you were Raf but then things hurt and so... You know what, nevermind. I think I'll just pay more attention next time. Thank you! -- Repus Grover Garfield -- Here kitty, kitty, kitty. That's right... Uh... No! NO! BACK! -- Mr. Elbidercni Viva Lexa -- I'm glad you were on your toes! So, that is your first lesson. As for your follow-up, I have added you to the call-back list. *As he walks off, a piece of paper with Viva's contact information falls onto the ground in a crumbled ball* -- ECAPS Ghost Brother Aidan -- You shan't impale me with your evil implements of pointy, stabby- ness! I rebuke you! -- Namrepus A package is handed to Thunderclaw at his training center. A card is attached which reads, "Thunderclaw! As promised, I got you lunch! I was going to take you there but the wait is killer, so I sent Alfred instead. Enjoy!" and is signed -- Namtab Hello Ehtnirolet! It is I, Super REVORG! I mean, REPUS Grover! The man with the floppy hat, UrebMaster, said whoever counted the highest got to speak for the team. And aren't you lucky! That's me! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy!!!! *the red furry thing stands there shaking from side to side with his hands outstretched as he yells, after nearly twenty seconds, he stops and pants a little before continuing* Any way, my friends and I couldn't pass the Heroes Repus test, so he brought us here. He told us if we get hit in the head enough, it might fix our problems. Some of us have begun to wonder if we made wrong assumptions about his meaning. But we'll see. Anyway, WE'RE BACK! *With that, Repus Grover runs closer to the crowd only to get decked by a brawny bruiser in the crowd.* Addendum -- Master Beru has indeed given authority to Repus Grover to speak for the team, but be assured Madame Ytrams StNap is here to keep these Heroes in Line. Telorinthe -- Best wishes to all in this winter season of planning and dreaming. -- Summoner G Telorinthe -- Praise Him! -- Brother Aldred In case anyone cares.

That one: Duelmasters!!! -- Bashur Graham Summoner -- Welcome back to the game and ads! Your face looks like it was hit by a snow plow! Please wear a sack. So we'll call you GSack! -- General Bashur GSack -- As far as ADM goes. Define "disadvantage." As far as the tourney game goes, it is all about training your warriors well. You can spend as many FE as you want doing that. So no disadvantage there. Since DM is mostly about tourneys, I'll leave it at that. If you have goals other than tourneys, you'll have to figure out what disadvantage means and whether a warrior from a no tourney arena has it or not. Plague -- Your dad is so fat, he gets group insurance. Puppy Petter -- Your dad is so dumb, he sold his car to get gasoline money. Queen Bad Crayon Art -- Your dad is so ugly I told him to take out the trash and he left the house. Flannel Master -- "Your dad is so old, he used to drive chariots to high school." -- Bashur LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS FATHER CUTHBERT was devastated by BOOP in a 1 minute mismatched Bloodfeud fight. 0-2 COUNT outwaited ONE PIECE in a 14 minute expert's Challenge Title battle.
