                                      SPY REPORT

     I can't believe the violence in VALAMANTIS!  I still haven't told Mom I'm 
writing Spyreports.  She'd have a cow!  Well, here we go...  Uncool, DARK AGES.  I 
mean 0-0-0 is bad.  Will they will be allowed to fight?  I say use 'em for training 
practice!  MVP award for WOBKEY?  KEYBOARDS' proud of it after beating CYBORF RAIN 
and getting 12 points.  Don't you think the Duelmaster is being unfair?  I think A.T. 
JR should let CONVICTED ASSASSIN be Duelmaster for a while, without fighting about 
it.  Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to his teammates?  Don't ask me!   
     Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right?  SMITTY'S B&G was VALAMANTIS' most 
avoided team.  Is there some award for that?  Hhmph!  What kind of warriors are RIO 
VISTANS?  SMITTY'S B&G, an easy team to beat if I ever saw one, can't get them to 
accept an invitation!  Can KEYBOARDS' MEMBRANE be more popular than me?  He was 
challenged the most, but is that really the same?  DRAFT must not be a good enough 
fighter to get in fair fights.  It challenged MEMBRANE.  8 is a big difference.  
(Well, that's what they tell me.) I thought DRAFT showed great skill and promise when 
it subdued MEMBRANE.  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.  What if they had a fight and nobody showed 
up?  I'd be out of a job, that's what!!!   
     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.  I had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte
