                                      SPY REPORT

     Much has changed in SOLVEN since last I was here.  Never fear, Olaf Modeen 
adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters.  Biff!  Pow!  SOLVEN 
watched with glee as SNOT QUITE RIGHT got knocked off top spot by THE REPUBLICANS!  
What's with WILLOW REAVER?  He actually beat THE REPUBLICANS' GIULIANI, and walked 
away with 21 more points from the fight.  Laughs were big at NEON TREES while they 
watched WILLOW REAVER clobber GIULIANI.  He lost 16 points and got bruised from 
objects thrown from the stands.  What a role model for SOLVEN's young 'uns!  7 OF 9 
becomes Duelmaster, but don't bother to fight no more!  I'm sure SOLVEN is excited 
about UNFINISHED, the new Duelmaster from BASH BROS FICTION.  (remember?)  But when 
you've seen as many as I have...  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.  How well I know the feeling 
of being in the most avoided team!  Don't fall out of practive, SNOT QUITE RIGHT!  In 
my day, no team with a 209-220-10 would scare me off!  What's the problem, THE 
REPUBLICANS?  What do people see in MEDAN?  His 7-16-0?  MIDDLE WAY 15 ain't talkin', 
but he's got 40 points.   
     There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit.  Do you want the fighters 
to walk away, or not?  Many a warrior has met his fate in a hungover stupor.  You 
young rapscallions, take note!   
     Well, I'm pretty much through.  You guys need to get back practicing.  SOLVEN 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
