                                      SPY REPORT

     You elder fighters surely remember me.  The younger ones may call me Olaf 
Modeen.  I return to XOCHITHLAN once again!  Bein' on top is great while it lasts, 
BASH BROS BABY.  But how many friends do you have now?  What's with PETERBALD?  He 
actually beat TROLLHEIM's REYKJA, and walked away with 11 more points from the fight. 
Laughs were big at WILDCATS while they watched PETERBALD clobber REYKJA.  She lost 5 
points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands.  I'm sure XOCHITHLAN is 
excited about BLACK N'BLUE, the new Duelmaster from WILDCATS.  (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.   
     Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges...  The most avoided team 
was BOOK OF THOMAS.  The bums at BASH BROS BABY couldn't face the challenges from 
BOOK OF THOMAS!  No excuse for that!  What do people see in TRULO?  His 4-0-0?  FAR 
TRAVELERS ain't talkin', but he's got 31 points.   
     A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing.  Some fighters 
don't accept this.  The best do.  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
