                                      SPY REPORT

     Much has changed in DAL SHANG since last I was here.  Never fear, Olaf Modeen 
adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters.  Ya gotta be quick on yer 
feet!  Keep your elbow off the table!  Thrust!  Block out the pain!  ICE DRAGONS is 
now ranked 3rd with a 1-1-0 turn.  What's with SIGMUND?  She actually beat WEATHER's 
WINTER SOLSTICE, and walked away with 10 more points from the fight.  Major screwup 
at TOURNAMENT BLUES 65.  BIG MOOSE WALKER lost 2 points to MASTER OF THE EDGE.  Some 
new strategies, perhaps?  Maybe BIG MOOSE WALKER will provide more easy wins...  Try 
as he might, CAPTIAN LENSAR wasn't good enough at persuading GNIGHT WHVEN to step 
down from the Duelmaster's throne...  Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up 
fighting!   
     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, TOURNAMENT 
BLUES 65!  Management must be dealin', as the boys at SHADOW LIONS ain't reelin'!  
TOURNAMENT BLUES 65's mad!  How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged 
warrior, CHERRY BLOSSOM!  Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you.  
GHRAAZZT expects the easy win by going 27 points down.  CHERRY BLOSSOM will find this 
a hard lesson!  I have to get this off my chest.  What a low dog, GHRAAZZT!  It can't 
set itself up in a real match.  I was sorry to see CHERRY BLOSSOM lose.  Maybe 
TEMERE's ULTRANEGATOR is one of those beasts who likes pain, or something.  That's 
what it'll get next week, after challenging up 26 to HARRUMPH.  ULTRANEGATOR found 
one way to advance:  challenging HARRUMPH and losing, but getting 2 points.  No 
brain, no pain.   
     There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit.  Do you want the fighters 
to walk away, or not?  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.  Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and 
good luck.  Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen
