                                      SPY REPORT

     Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills?  Well 
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for ARUAK CITY.  I don't wanna hurt anybody's 
feelings or anything, but THE BLUES really goofed with their 1-4-0.  The guys at 
KRILL CAVALRY like really pulled together to get a 1-1-1 this turn, moving up by 4.  
Cut this out and put it in your scrapbooks, THE MYRMIDONS!  'Cause they got 4-1-0 and 
moved up to 3rd!  MVP award for ANT-MAN X?  THE MYRMIDONS' proud of him after beating 
ROVAIR KIRKLIN and getting 17 points.  Talk about yer major upsets!  THANATOS' match 
with KUNG-FU MASTER cost him a loss of 17 points!  This Duelmaster is like something 
else!  JON THANE stopped BIRDLEGG PITTMAN dead in his tracks!  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 NANNY HOUSE 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 COLORIFIC's been avoiding NANNY HOUSE so much?  Or is it 
just that they're too scared?  Like, is DODGER popular, or what?  He was challenged 
the most in all of ARUAK CITY!  He's got a 6-21-0, is that good?  For sure, I was 
holding my breath when I found out TRAZE challenged DEAR ABBY.  After all, haven't 
NAMED 03 and KRILL CAVALRY had a long standing duel in ARUAK CITY?  It wasn't a 
spectacular fight, or anything, but DEAR ABBY wants me to write about it since she 
dispatched TRAZE.  Satisfied?   
     Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other!  Don't you guys ever give 
it a break?  It was kind of sad, seeing old TRAZE stumbling around the arena, before 
DEAR ABBY finished him off.  Oh well!  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'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it quits.  I had a fun 
time, see you later-- Debby Tonte
