                                      SPY REPORT

     Oh, hi.  Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte.  Thought I'd check out RIZTAB to see 
what's new.  Too bad, PHOENIXGUARD 1015243, but DREAMERS was just too good to be 
stopped.  Uncool, HELL-MART.  I mean 0-0-0 is bad.  Will they will be allowed to 
fight?  I say use 'em for training practice!  Cut this out and put it in your 
scrapbooks, DREAMERS!  'Cause they got 4-1-1 and moved up to 1st!  MVP award for 
ARISTOTLE?  DREAMERS' proud of him after beating BLACK BARTOK and getting 17 points.  
Talk about yer big time losers!  PASCAL got smashed by ELON, and lost 5 points!  
Don't you think the Duelmaster is being unfair?  I think DAGGER LAMENT should let 
WHISKEY SMASH be Duelmaster for a while, without fighting about it.  Who was the 
wiseguy that said RIZTAB's Duelmaster was paying for drinks at The Dripping Blade?  
Don't look at me!   
     I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies.  Really, I just 
wing this stuff.  NEON TERMINUS was RIZTAB's most avoided team.  Is there some award 
for that?  Hhmph!  What kind of warriors are TOP 5 MUSKS?  NEON TERMINUS, an easy 
team to beat if I ever saw one, can't get them to accept an invitation!   
     Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other!  Don't you guys ever give 
it a break?  Like, who is this guy???  SADE gets sent to the Dark Arena, battles 
HEZDLAT THE GIANT, and returns to tell of it!!!  I bet DREAMERS manager is surprised! 
Hey you guys, don't you think your families would like to hear from you?  Write!  (Or 
have someone write for you.)  
     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.  I had 
a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte
