                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome ALJAFIR.  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, TROLLS' 6th 
moved them up to 2-3-0 place.  THE ARSENAL showed ALJAFIR what they were made of as 
they fought with a vengeance to walk off with 4-1-0.  What's with ANOTHER WINNER?  He 
actually beat ALJAFIR's THE USEROUS MERCHANT, and walked away with 14 more points 
from the fight.  Major screwup at WHEN EAGLES DARE.  CASTLE KEEP lost 8 points to 
YOU'RE NOT GOOD.  Some new strategies, perhaps?  Maybe CASTLE KEEP will provide more 
easy wins...  NEON SCRAPPERS' hatred of PERRY STRIKE FORCE surfaced again as MR 
PYTHON challenged ALJAFIR's top dog.  MR PYTHON was reminded on the sands why THE 
PLATYPUS is Duelmaster.  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.  The most avoided team was 
NEON SCRAPPERS.  The bums at THE SHOWOFFS couldn't face the challenges from NEON 
SCRAPPERS!  No excuse for that!  What do people see in BLIMEY?  His 5-9-0?  TROLLS 
ain't talkin', but he's got 24 points.  I hate going to the effort of writing about 
the kind of fights that NOGGIN gets in.  He fights people like YOU JUST LOST, 13 
points below.  I thought NOGGIN showed great skill and promise when he defeated YOU 
JUST LOST.  All right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit.  Do you want the fighters 
to walk away, or not?  Is it my imagination, or are fighters getting younger every 
day?  To die so young, so gloriously!   
     Well, I'm pretty much through.  You guys need to get back practicing.  Are you 
as tired of reading this as I am of writing it?  Actually, I guess I'm writing it 
before you read it.  Oh, well.  Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and 
good luck.  Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen
