                                      SPY REPORT

     You elder fighters surely remember me.  The younger ones may call me Olaf 
Modeen.  I return to NIANIA once again!  Bein' on top is great while it lasts, THE 
GOLDEN FISH.  But how many friends do you have now?  Ya gotta be quick on yer feet!  
Keep your elbow off the table!  Thrust!  Block out the pain!  TEAM HAVOK is now 
ranked 1st with a 2-3-0 turn.  What's with PECAN PIE?  He actually beat THE GOLDEN 
FISH's GALLORDIN, and walked away with 10 more points from the fight.  Laughs were 
big at SWEETS while they watched PECAN PIE clobber GALLORDIN.  He lost 5 points and 
got bruised from objects thrown from the stands.  4 BRIDGES was reminded on the sands 
why PAUL ATREIDES is Duelmaster.  Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting! 
     If at first you don't succeed, avoid.  That'll get you in the Spyreports.  The 
most avoided team was THE GOLDEN FISH.  In my day, no team with a 562-696-20 would 
scare me off!  What's the problem, TEAM HAVOK?  What do people see in PITER DEVRIES?  
His 12-6-0?  MASTERS OF SAND ain't talkin', but he's got 104 points.  Keep 
challenging up 30 points, HAND OF GOD, and I won't have to write about you much 
longer.  PITER DEVRIES always accepts those kind of challenges...  As I expected, 
PITER DEVRIES won HAND OF GOD.  Not to start anything, but, HAND OF GOD, now that 
you've faced him and seen his style, you might try it again!   
     A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing.  Some fighters 
don't accept this.  The best do.  How long have I been here?  I got people to see, 
places to go...   
     Who knows what the future holds for a warrior.  More fights, there's no doubt.  
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.  Remember--a good fighter needs both good 
skills and good luck.  Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen

Edward O'hare -- Somebody told me that an "edward" is just a "ned" by a longer name.
I dunno, maybe SOME of them are, but you don't look like any kind of "ned" to me. --
Sarovond

Hand of God -- Yeahyeahyeah, they all say that. -- Koronedus
P.S.  I note that the Hand of Hell is bigger.  Probably significant.

Hand of Hell -- Right, bigger.  But at least you've gone back to being human.  This
is much easier to deal with. -- Dolovor

Yukio Okutsu -- It just never works for me that you're a guy.  Couldn't you get that
changed? -- Gallordin

Ah, Dangerous Criminal.  Well named. -- Harolue

Our congratulations to Paul Atreides. -- Jorja and the Golden Fish

Our congratulations also to Machaon and another gladiator whose name I don't care to
utter for their tourney victor status. -- Jorja and the Golden Fish

Paul Atreides -- Well, I suppose we should consider the "gifts for gradautes"
business, but really, there isn't a THING in the kitty.  Unless yuo want a hairball.
Hmm, how about, as a Master of Sand, we give you a bucket of sand, or even more,
maybe a whole yard or two of sand, to exhibit your mastery of?  Then when you leave
for the Isle, we can put it back into the regular arena stockpile (we run through a
LOT of sand some weeks) and go on from there?  After all, it isn't like you really
want to stay here and administer a piece of ground, right? -- Arenamistress Vora
