                                      SPY REPORT

     Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills?  Well 
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for SUNSET.  One team deserves special mention 
'cause they moved up 1 after going 4-1-0.  Keep it up, THE OOZE ZONE!  MVP award for 
HANGXIETY?  WELL EXCUUUSE ME!'s proud of it after beating LUCIAN THE LITHE and 
getting 21 points.  This Duelmaster is like something else!  DUSKBORNE BEAST stopped 
FLYING DUTCHMAN dead in his tracks!  Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to 
his teammates?  Don't ask me!   
     So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway?  It can't be for these 
really neat Spyreports can it?  BIG LAKE TERROR was SUNSET's most avoided team.  Is 
there some award for that?  I don't know what NOMADIC TRIBE's been doing.  They 
certainly haven't been accepting many fights from BIG LAKE TERROR, that's fer sher.  
Can BEN'S BAZAAR's UNCHAINABLE be more popular than me?  He was challenged the most, 
but is that really the same?  People were asking me did LASZLO REALLY challenge MOON 
SPLICER?  (all right, maybe they didn't, but it sounded good!) It wasn't a 
spectacular fight, or anything, but MOON SPLICER wants me to write about it since he 
was overcame by LASZLO.  Satisfied?   
     Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other!  Don't you guys ever give 
it a break?  Like was that some Bloodfeud, or what?  (NEVERKNOT vs. UNHINGED, that 
is.) 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 gotta leave.  SUNSET is like such a dump, and you guys smell too much!  Its 
been really albendranius!  Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

DM Buck Fiden -- I want to thank you for bringing honor and fame to this cesspool of 
an arena.  Warriors of your caliber and integrity are very few and it was a joy and a 
pleasure to be able to fight on the sands with you. You bring honor to us all with 
your record, your words of wisdom, and your moniker.  Thank you for just being you, it 
was a treat to see you in action. -- Den

little stick -- Damn, you are a total loser. -- Den

DM/LP Duskborne Beast -- Congrats on finally sitting the throne and getting the 
notice!  Do Sunset proud! -- Grim Fandango

Snail Trax -- You coulda been more snail-like. -- Winter Wind

Dork Parable -- So happy to help you to 0-2! -- Lucian

Squid Soup -- It was a little inky, to be honest with you.  Wait, that was just my 
blood...yeah. -- Blak Box

Unhinged -- You managed to avoid a blood feud?!??  Figures. -- Grim Fandango

Wander Bust -- K-9 slimly lost.  Trying to find his fav. weapon.  Good to know it is 
not the crappy shortsword.  I hit you enough times! -- Chad

Ben -- Challenges vs you, are just that.  We all must do what we need to. As a wise 
man once uttered, "But did you die?" -- Chad
P.S. The win over Ogryn was a huge up challenge!
