                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, warriors of ZUKAL!  Once again I've been called out of retirement for 
my abilities and insights into Spyreporting.  Woof!  PET SHOP FLOYD were a bunch of 
dogs after PHILANTHROPISTS II got through with 'em!  2nd ain't so sweet as 1st!  Ya 
gotta be quick on yer feet!  Keep your elbow off the table!  Thrust!  Block out the 
pain!  SPIRIT TOTEMS is now ranked 5th with a 2-1-1 turn.  What's with 3 RIVERS?  He 
actually beat POWERS OF PAIN's TRINITY, and walked away with 20 more points from the 
fight.  Laughs were big at SPIRIT TOTEMS while they watched PRAYING MANTIS clobber 
CAGED FLOYD.  He lost 8 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands.  
See how the Duelmaster Bloodfeuded PET SHOP FLOYD's BOMBAY FLOYD?  That sort of 
initiative is how he got where he is now.  Try as she might, BOMBAY FLOYD wasn't good 
enough at persuading RAT RACE to step down from the Duelmaster's throne...  Wouldn't 
it be nice to have live subjects to practice on?  I hear some team is looking into 
the uses of convicted prisoners.   
     No matter the time or place, men will always duel.  The most avoided team was 
BLUE MOON.  The bums at SPIRIT TOTEMS couldn't face the challenges from BLUE MOON!  
No excuse for that!  What do people see in AZCERE?  His 12-13-0?  BLUE MOON ain't 
talkin', but he's got 95 points.   
     Warriors of ZUKAL unite.  You have only your games to lose!  Here's some advice: 
study your opponent, master many skills, fight dirty.   
     Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors.  Any plans here?  
ZUKAL is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places.  Remember--a 
good fighter needs both good skills and good luck.  Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen
