                                      SPY REPORT

     Much has changed in KATI-TEI since last I was here.  Never fear, Olaf Modeen 
adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters.  What's with MISTBLADE?  
She actually beat DEATH'S  ARMY's UNDEAD CAT WOMAN, and walked away with 20 more 
points from the fight.  Major screwup at DEATH'S  ARMY.  UNDEAD CAT WOMAN lost 14 
points to MISTBLADE.  Some new strategies, perhaps?  Maybe UNDEAD CAT WOMAN will 
provide more easy wins...  Har har har!  Did RECOGNIZE MAJESTY wimp out, or just get 
lazy?  Anyway, he's not Duelmaster anymore.  I can barely restrain my enthusiam for 
FIELDS OF DREAMS' outstanding member, Duelmaster THE PEN.  I suppose you want to hear 
some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters?  Tough!   
     If at first you don't succeed, avoid.  That'll get you in the Spyreports.  
KATI-TEI thinks THE LOSERS and their 96-140-9 is too much!  If at first you don't 
succeed, give up...  Management must be dealin', as the boys at MASTERLY SENSE ain't 
reelin'!  THE LOSERS' mad!  How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged 
warrior, JARCK MYSIR!  Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you.  
Taunt your opponent FIRE STING!  That was my lucky charm when I was unfairly 
challenged.  (and by 18 points!)  DREAMSTONE should have an easy win.  DREAMSTONE 
beat FIRE STING.  NEON MYSTICS calls this fighting?  In my day...  THE PEN didn't 
quite know what to make of a challenge he received from AIRBORNE RANGER of DEATH'S  
ARMY, who is 21 points below him.  AIRBORNE RANGER perhaps got his just desserts, 
seeing as he was bested by THE PEN and ended up with 75 recognition points.   
     There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit.  Do you want the fighters 
to walk away, or not?  COVID VACCINE of DEATH'S  ARMY didn't know when to quit.  When 
you've got a 5-11-0, that's a good sign.  Now she's dead.  Is NAWLINS RU2 getting 
weak?  What sort of warriors let a comrade fall without getting revenge?  Times have 
changed...  Here's some advice:  study your opponent, master many skills, fight 
dirty.   
     Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors.  Any plans here?  All 
work and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter.  Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.  
Olaffighterwork and no play.  I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen
