                                      SPY REPORT

     You elder fighters surely remember me.  The younger ones may call me Olaf 
Modeen.  I return to BLACKSTONE once again!  Biff!  Pow!  BLACKSTONE watched with 
glee as PHILANTHROPISTS29 got knocked off top spot by PHILANTHROPISTS 122!  You know 
what they say about the herd of lions who studied a judge...  KHORSPRAETORIANS III 
moved up 12 places, to 6th.  Who can explain it?  Not you, not me, not PHLANTHROPISTS 
89's opponents, after watching them shoot up the ranks from 19th to 8th.  You know 
what they say about the herd of lions who studied a judge...  PROJECT MAYHEM 16 moved 
up 11 places, to 15th.  Ever take one of those association tests?  You know, he says 
black, you say white.  Water-Lake, Sky-Blue. Try this:  Flop.  BUBBA'S LEGION!  
HIGHWAY TO HELL bit the big one as they could not win.  They dropped from 6th down to 
19th!  Are you guy giving lessons or what?  What's with CLAUDIA?  She actually beat 
PHILANTHROPISTS 116's BLUE BLIGHT, and walked away with 15 more points from the 
fight.  Laughs were big at KHORSPRAETORIANS III while they watched CLAUDIA clobber 
BLUE BLIGHT.  He lost 13 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands.  
I'm sure BLACKSTONE is excited about MIST GARDEN, the new Duelmaster from 
PHLANTHROPISTS 89.  (remember?)  But when you've seen as many as I have...  I suppose 
you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters?  Tough!   
     No matter the time or place, men will always duel.   
     Warriors of BLACKSTONE unite.  You have only your games to lose!  The ultimate 
victory is one that results in death.  SPACE MONKEY 11 of knows this.  Will 
PHILANTHROPISTS15 attempt a Bloodfeud?  Is it my imagination, or are fighters getting 
younger every day?  To die so young, so gloriously!   
     Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors.  Any plans here?  
BLACKSTONE is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places.  I don't 
want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen
