                                      SPY REPORT

     I was going on vacation, see?  Surf, sun...  But what do those bums say?  "Hit 
the road, Debby Tonte.  LAPUR needs a spyreport."  Oh, well.  CONFUSE A CAT like 
really fought hard to move up to 3rd from 9th.  Way to go!  MVP award for MY FORTUNE? 
I'M THE WOLF's proud of him after beating NEMDIRE and getting 19 points.  Talk about 
yer big time losers!  NEMDIRE got smashed by MY FORTUNE, and lost 12 points!  And I 
was just getting used to the ex-Duelmaster's habit of...(!)  Oh well, welcome CHAOS 
KNIGHT.  Aren't THE DOOMGUARD proud.  (Oh, my.) I hear the top team insists all their 
warriors get nine hours sleep.  They want photogenic fighters for PR photos.   
     AAARRGH!!!  I HATE SPYREPORTING!!!  Sorry.  I just had to say it.  The warriors 
of AVOID ME! 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 MID EARTH's been 
avoiding AVOID ME! so much?  Or is it just that they're too scared?  Like, is CHAOS 
KNIGHT popular, or what?  He was challenged the most in all of LAPUR!  He's got a 
12-4-0, is that good?   
     What does a fighter fight for?  I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone 
gets killed.  Not after four more fights.  Fight, fight, fight.  Is that all you guys 
can do?   
     Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain.  Soak it in cold water, and hand 
wash.  I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really should stop.  Its 
been really albendranius!  Later, guys-- Debby Tonte
