                                      SPY REPORT

     You elder fighters surely remember me.  The younger ones may call me Olaf 
Modeen.  I return to ARDIVENT once again!  What's with STUDEBAKER?  It actually beat 
ARDIVENT's TRUSTWORTHY SCRIBE, and walked away with 20 more points from the fight.  
Laughs were big at NONSENCE while they watched BUTTON HEAD clobber NANCY.  She lost 
15 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands.  I can barely restrain 
my enthusiam for DEVIL DOGS' outstanding member, Duelmaster DARK SHADE.  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.  How well I know the feeling 
of being in the most avoided team!  Don't fall out of practive, DEVIL DOGS!  The bums 
at FANDILS couldn't face the challenges from DEVIL DOGS!  No excuse for that!  How 
well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior, MAMITU!  Don't make 
idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you.   
     Warriors of ARDIVENT unite.  You have only your games to lose!  Here's some 
advice:  study your opponent, master many skills, fight dirty.   
     Who knows what the future holds for a warrior.  More fights, there's no doubt.  
ARDIVENT is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places.  
Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and good luck.  Until next time,-- 
Olaf Modeen

Hey! Welcome to Ardivent all you newbies and returnees. Glad to see you. -- Fandil The 
Wise

Health. Humility. Honor. The Red Sands Of Ardivent await us all. -- WOF

* sigh *  So I fought the Ambitious Guard.  If he is hoping to catch some manager's 
eye and get recruited to a team, he should look into other careers. -- Rod

Ain Mabel -- Good try, and the Commission guy said you learned a skill, so good on ya. 
-- Chad

Wow, the Happy Peasant was not half bad. -- Nancy

Karen and I both fought the Friendly Constable.  He taught her a few things, but 
didn't teach me anything. Dang. -- Timothy
