                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome BONSUR.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the fights have 
I fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  Up 'n down.  Up 'n down.  
Rankings always change.  Up 'n down.  I think I'm gonna be...  Well, BEACH BABES' 3rd 
moved them up to 2-0-0 place.  What's with SINGLE CLAP?  He actually beat CRAZY 
CO-WORKERS' TOMMY, and walked away with 27 more points from the fight.  Laughs were 
big at SATANIC GARDEN while they watched NIGHTSHADE clobber NICOLE.  She lost 13 
points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands.  BONSUR has a Duelmaster 
who doesn't sit back and get lazy.  He Dark Arena Challenged DARK ARENA's MOUNTAIN 
TROLL (0-0-0), which should prove (ahem!) interesting.  Try as he might, MOUNTAIN 
TROLL wasn't good enough at persuading CROM! to step down from the Duelmaster's 
throne...  Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!   
     No matter the time or place, men will always duel.  BONSUR thinks CHAOS KIDS and 
their 78-103-8 is too much!  If at first you don't succeed, give up...  Management 
must be dealin', as the boys at SENTINELS ain't reelin'!  CHAOS KIDS' mad!  What do 
people see in STAR?  Hers 21-18-1?  REAVERS ain't talkin', but she's got 82 points.   
     There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit.  Do you want the fighters 
to walk away, or not?  Who will dare fight CROM!, after he returned from the Dark 
Arena?  (For the record 13-3-1 is 139, and has he points) Someone told MATT that ODD 
SQUAD never Bloodfeuded, that he'd have an easy kill.  Well, I'm sure whoever misled 
you is right sorry.  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?  The 
end of another Spyreport!  That's cause for celebration in my book!  Remember--a good 
fighter needs both good skills and good luck.  Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen

Crom -- Your appearance out of nowhere was certainly not the plan.  Still, the 
graduation notice was and any fight that gets me that greeting from the Gladiatorial 
Commission was a good fight.  So, enjoy your turn at the top as we wander off into the 
sunset. -- Caroom

Tommy -- Aren't you supposed to be some sort of wizard at pinball?  I'm not sure the 
whole blind thing works as well on the sands -- Shan

Sand Warben -- Warben?  What is a warben? -- Dawn Squire

Flamenca -- They said "don't make a ripper with a 7 will, it will die."  I agreed, but 
the 9 will version also looked like death waiting to happen and even less likely to 
win.  Not surprisingly, the experiment didn't last long.  It is almost hard to blame 
you for that one.  But a bit of honor must be maintained. -- Nomad and the Sentinels

Deceptivus -- When I broke your shield I was quite certain i had you.  Oh Well. -- 
Quietus

Mohoncito -- That was a lot of chopping to take you down.  Like chopping down an oak 
tree. -- Shine

Ancient Age -- Now that was an excellent fight! -- Star

Crispy -- Ugh!  Got knocked down again! -- The Lady

Santa Ana -- Not one of the best fights I've ever seen.  We did give the crowd its 
moneys worth though didn't we? -- Scalpiterai
