                                      SPY REPORT

     I can't believe the violence in ALJAFIR!  I still haven't told Mom I'm writing 
Spyreports.  She'd have a cow!  Well, here we go...  MIDDLE WAY like really fought 
hard to move up to 4th from 8th.  Way to go!  Like WHEN EAGLES DARE's DISTINGUISHED 
is sweating since she got challenged by Duelmaster TYLER!  Don't you think the 
Duelmaster is being unfair?  I think TYLER should let DISTINGUISHED be Duelmaster for 
a while, without fighting about it.  Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to 
his teammates?  Don't ask me!   
     AAARRGH!!!  I HATE SPYREPORTING!!!  Sorry.  I just had to say it.  WHEN EAGLES 
DARE was the most avoided team.  Is a 395-285-28 record really that scary?  Is there 
some deep dark secret why THE SHOWOFFS' been avoiding WHEN EAGLES DARE so much?  Or 
is it just that they're too scared?  Like, is POMPEII popular, or what?  He was 
challenged the most in all of ALJAFIR!  He's got a 16-15-1, is that good?  For sure, 
I was holding my breath when I found out BERT challenged POMPEII.  After all, haven't 
TROLLS and WHEN EAGLES DARE had a long standing duel in ALJAFIR?  It wasn't a 
spectacular fight, or anything, but POMPEII wants me to write about it since he was 
bested by BERT.  Satisfied?  YOU'RE NOT GOOD must not be a good enough fighter to get 
in fair fights.  He challenged FARRELL.  8 is a big difference.  (Well, that's what 
they tell me.) I thought YOU'RE NOT GOOD showed great skill and promise when he won 
victory over FARRELL.  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.  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.  Its been really albendranius!  Later, guys-- Debby Tonte
