                                      SPY REPORT

     I can't believe the violence in AMEN-TEI!  I still haven't told Mom I'm writing 
Spyreports.  She'd have a cow!  Well, here we go...  Cut this out and put it in your 
scrapbooks, FRESH MEAT!  'Cause they got 4-1-0 and moved up to 2nd!  MVP award for 
SAUTERNES?  LIBATIONS 3's proud of her after beating BRIER THORN and getting 18 
points.  Talk about yer big time losers!  HONDO got smashed by CAILAN, and lost 15 
points!  Was that a tear I saw in EUMAEUS' eye, as he took over Duelmastership?  And 
wasn't JIN YOUNG KO fit to be tied!  Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to 
his teammates?  Don't ask me!   
     I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies.  Really, I just 
wing this stuff.  The warriors of NEON ODYSSEY must be getting lonely.  They were the 
most avoided team.  Do you guys know something that I don't?  Is there some deep dark 
secret why TOP FIVE WOLFS' been avoiding NEON ODYSSEY so much?  Or is it just that 
they're too scared?  Can SAFE HAVEN's KEDO PATLI be more popular than me?  He was 
challenged the most, but is that really the same?  For sure, I was holding my breath 
when I found out POLYPHEMUS challenged IN GEE CHUN.  After all, haven't NEON ODYSSEY 
and THE SAND TRAP had a long standing duel in AMEN-TEI?  It wasn't a spectacular 
fight, or anything, but IN GEE CHUN wants me to write about it since she subdued 
POLYPHEMUS.  Satisfied?   
     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!!!   
     Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain.  Soak it in cold water, and hand 
wash.  I gotta leave.  AMEN-TEI is like such a dump, and you guys smell too much!  I 
had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte
