                                      SPY REPORT

     You elder fighters surely remember me.  The younger ones may call me Olaf 
Modeen.  I return to ILLIS once again!  Biff!  Pow!  ILLIS watched with glee as 
SATAN'S CHILDREN got knocked off top spot by KIWI CONNECTION!  Up 'n down.  Up 'n 
down.  Rankings always change.  Up 'n down.  I think I'm gonna be...  Well, ISLE OF 
SKYE's 6th moved them up to 2-3-0 place.  What's with PAPARANGI?  He actually beat 
HANGOVERS' OLD FASHIONED, and walked away with 11 more points from the fight.  Major 
screwup at FIREBALLS.  ORANGE lost 10 points to RAMOLF.  Some new strategies, 
perhaps?  Maybe ORANGE will provide more easy wins...  ILLIS has a Duelmaster who 
doesn't sit back and get lazy.  She challenged TEABAG@CINCY 21.1's SNARKNADO 
(15-7-0), which should prove (ahem!) interesting.  SNARKNADO was reminded on the 
sands why MY FAIR LADY is Duelmaster.  Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to 
practice on?  I hear some team is looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.   
     If at first you don't succeed, avoid.  That'll get you in the Spyreports.  How 
well I know the feeling of being in the most avoided team!  Don't fall out of 
practive, KILLER BLUES!  Management must be dealin', as the boys at ISLE OF SKYE 
ain't reelin'!  KILLER BLUES' mad!  How well I know the feeling of being the most 
challenged warrior, THORUNDR!  Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt 
you.   
     There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit.  Do you want the fighters 
to walk away, or not?  BUXTON was plum wore out after THORUNDR pounded 'im silly in a 
Bloodfeud.  KIWI CONNECTION'll have to get a little better before going after 
THORUNDR again!  Is it my imagination, or are fighters getting younger every day?  To 
die so young, so gloriously!   
     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
