                                      SPY REPORT

     Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills?  Well 
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for ROCANIS.  MVP award for BELLONA?  
ALLIANCE's proud of her after beating BEECE BUNNIE and getting 7 points.  Talk about 
yer big time losers!  BEECE BUNNIE got smashed by BELLONA, and lost 6 points!  This 
Duelmaster is like something else!  FRANKIE TOO stopped MOULDY ROGUE 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?  The warriors of ALLIANCE 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 INCONSISTENT FURY's been avoiding ALLIANCE so much?  Or is 
it just that they're too scared?   
     What does a fighter fight for?  I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone 
gets killed.  Not after four more fights.  Like was that some Bloodfeud, or what?  
(ANDRONIKA vs. DAX STIGLOW, that is.) 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'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it quits.  Remember 
you guys, ease up sometimes!  Chill out!  Later, Debby Tonte
