                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome TELORINTHE.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the fights 
have I fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  Bein' on top is great 
while it lasts, RIFF-RAFF CREW.  But how many friends do you have now?  What's with 
NOTHINGBURGER?  It actually beat CIXELSID HEROES' NAMTAB, and walked away with 13 
more points from the fight.  Laughs were big at TELORINTHE while they watched KUNG-FU 
MASTER clobber ECAPS GHOST.  He lost 11 points and got bruised from objects thrown 
from the stands.  TELORINTHE has a Duelmaster who doesn't sit back and get lazy.  It 
Dark Arena Challenged DARK ARENA's SPYMASTER (0-0-0), which should prove (ahem!) 
interesting.  The crowds were amazed this turn, as SPYMASTER killed the Duelmaster, 
RIDE OR DIE, leaving RIFF-RAFF CREW in mourning.  So now ABALACH-RE gets to be 
TELORINTHE's Duelmaster.  But what comes around goes around.  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, AAAARRGH HAMMERZ!  
Management must be dealin', as the boys at SORCERER KINGS ain't reelin'!  AAAARRGH 
HAMMERZ's mad!  What do people see in NAMREPUS?  His 21-15-0?  CIXELSID HEROES ain't 
talkin', but he's got 97 points.   
     Warriors of TELORINTHE unite.  You have only your games to lose!  Is it my 
imagination, or are fighters getting younger every day?  To die so young, so 
gloriously!   
     Well, I'm pretty much through.  You guys need to get back practicing.  Are you 
as tired of reading this as I am of writing it?  Actually, I guess I'm writing it 
before you read it.  Oh, well.  I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen
