                                      SPY REPORT

     Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills?  Well 
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for SOLVEN.  Like, KULT WOLVES had to be so 
embarrassed when they got kicked off #1 spot by SNOT QUITE RIGHT!  Way to go SNOT 
QUITE RIGHT!  SNOT QUITE RIGHT like really fought hard to move up to 1st from 5th.  
Way to go!  MVP award for BOLD BLIGHT?  WRATHMEN 24-10's proud of him after beating 
KYRIGOS and getting 25 points.  Talk about yer major upsets!  VODKA CRUSH's match 
with REMEMBER cost her a loss of 15 points!  This Duelmaster is like something else!  
LULU stopped SECRET dead in his tracks!  I hear the top team insists all their 
warriors get nine hours sleep.  They want photogenic fighters for PR photos.   
     I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies.  Really, I just 
wing this stuff.  The warriors of PROTECTORS must be getting lonely.  They were the 
most avoided team.  Do you guys know something that I don't?  Hhmph!  What kind of 
warriors are SNOT QUITE RIGHT?  PROTECTORS, an easy team to beat if I ever saw one, 
can't get them to accept an invitation!  Like, is GYMNASTICS popular, or what?  He 
was challenged the most in all of SOLVEN!  He's got a 9-7-0, is that good?  MISTER 
must not be a good enough fighter to get in fair fights.  He challenged GYMNASTICS.  
11 is a big difference.  (Well, that's what they tell me.) I thought MISTER showed 
great skill and promise when he bested GYMNASTICS.  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'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it 
quits.  Its been really albendranius!  Later, guys-- Debby Tonte
