                                      SPY REPORT

     Much has changed in NIANIA since last I was here.  Never fear, Olaf Modeen 
adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters.  What's with GILLANDE?  She 
actually beat SWEETS' TORTONI, and walked away with 13 more points from the fight.  
Laughs were big at NIANIA while they watched DANGEROUS CRIMINAL clobber SPIRITUAL 
PAIN.  He lost 8 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands.  
KHALHUMS DWARF was reminded on the sands why LARSEN E is Duelmaster.  I suppose you 
want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters?  Tough!   
     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, SWEETS!  In 
my day, no team with a 4-9-0 would scare me off!  What's the problem, TEAM HAVOK?  
How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior, KORONEDUS!  Don't 
make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you.  I hate going to the effort of 
writing about the kind of fights that ALLAN OHATA gets in.  He fights people like 
HAROLUE, 12 points below.  I thought ALLAN OHATA showed great skill and promise when 
he beat HAROLUE.  All right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     Warriors of NIANIA unite.  You have only your games to lose!  Here's some 
advice:  study your opponent, master many skills, fight dirty.   
     Well, I'm pretty much through.  You guys need to get back practicing.  All work 
and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter.  Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.  
Olaffighterwork and no play.  Time for my medication, so I'll leave now.  Practice, 
practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

The Golden Fish -- I guess I have truly earned my name now.  Tous Grjlent Vendetta!
-- Vendetta

Vendetta -- Heck. -- Ghost of Sashinda
P.S.  As I understand it, in an ideal world, one of my teammates would now kill you,
thus requiring one of your teammates to avenge that with a death, and on and on and
on.  I've heard that some people actually try to keep that kind of thing going.  No
chance of us doing it, of course.  Nick never much cared for it, and Jorja's
positively against it; she says it's bad for the long-term health of the arena.  Not
that it makes any difference to ME either way.

Spiritual Pain -- What's the good of something like that?  It just makes you
discontented with your life, and the thing is, you're STUCK with your life.  Even
reincarnationists don't go throwing it away lightly.  Of course, if I had a load of
spiritual pain on, it might make me see it differently.  This is possible.  Not
LIKELY, because I'm Karragit, and we don't go in for that kind of thing.  Uh, what
was I going to...oh, right!  Good try, but it always annoys me when someone hits me
on the head. -- Koronedus

Yukio Okutus -- That's a fishy sounding name right there!  And very un-Shewish.  Oh,
well. -- Gillande

Allan Ohata -- Heck, you guys are all over!  I could've done without your skill, you
know. -- Harolue

M. Laymoness Chardinee, Insurance Agent -- Bah, you don't scare me! -- Lord Protector
