                                      SPY REPORT

     You elder fighters surely remember me.  The younger ones may call me Olaf 
Modeen.  I return to MURSKA once again!  Major screwup at LORDS OF DOOM.  
PHACTAMONIUS lost 26 points to KUNG-FU MASTER.  Some new strategies, perhaps?  Maybe 
PHACTAMONIUS will provide more easy wins...  See how the Duelmaster challenged 
CHILDREN OF LLYR's MINOR?  That sort of initiative is how he got where he is now.  
Try as he might, MINOR wasn't good enough at persuading NI 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.   
     Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges...  How well I know the 
feeling of being in the most avoided team!  Don't fall out of practive, LORDS OF 
DOOM!  In my day, no team with a 576-422-41 would scare me off!  What's the problem, 
HOUSE JHEREG?  What do people see in BARTHOLOMEW SILLS?  His 10-3-0?  LORDS OF DOOM 
ain't talkin', but he's got 97 points.  I hate going to the effort of writing about 
the kind of fights that ORI OF SMALLCLIFF gets in.  He fights people like BARTHOLOMEW 
SILLS, 12 points below.  I thought ORI OF SMALLCLIFF showed great skill and promise 
when he was overcame by BARTHOLOMEW SILLS.  All right, so I slept through it!  Big 
deal!   
     Warriors of MURSKA unite.  You have only your games to lose!  Here's some 
advice:  study your opponent, master many skills, fight dirty.   
     Well, I'm pretty much through.  You guys need to get back practicing.  All work 
and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter.  Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.  
Olaffighterwork and no play.  Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and 
good luck.  Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen
