                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome NIANIA.  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, HAMOI TONG.  But how many friends do you have now?  What's with ROBOT 
CHICKEN?  He actually beat HAMOI TONG's GHUDA III, and walked away with 18 more 
points from the fight.  Major screwup at HAMOI TONG.  GHUDA III lost 11 points to 
ROBOT CHICKEN.  Some new strategies, perhaps?  Maybe GHUDA III will provide more easy 
wins...  THE LIZARD KING was reminded on the sands why PAPEWAIO is Duelmaster.  I 
suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters?  
Tough!   
     If at first you don't succeed, avoid.  That'll get you in the Spyreports.  
NIANIA thinks MISNOMERS and their 17-6-0 is too much!  If at first you don't succeed, 
give up...  In my day, no team with a 17-6-0 would scare me off!  What's the problem, 
THE FUNNY FARM?  Maybe THE MOTHERSHIP CH's GRONK SPIKE is one of those guys who likes 
pain, or something.  That's what he'll get next week, after challenging up 27 to 
ELINTERRI.  I don't get it.  GRONK SPIKE goes and challenges ELINTERRI, way above 
him, but gets 4 points after he loses!  Is this a new strategy?  NOSE-FACE KILLER of 
THE MOTHERSHIP CH knows how to pick 'em.  He challenged KORBRIZT HORON of THE GOLDEN 
FISH who is up by 19.  Now was this a wise move?  NOSE-FACE KILLER perhaps got his 
just desserts, seeing as he was defeated by KORBRIZT HORON and ended up with 27 
recognition points.   
     A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing.  Some fighters 
don't accept this.  The best do.  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

Ghuda III -- Of course I understand.  I'm so popular, you just can't stay away from
me.  I make everyone else look good, because I shed the mantle of my enormous
popularity all over the place. -- Kinthira
P.S.  Who wouldn't be shedding mantles in this humid heat?

The Law Firm -- Good gods, I hope I did "overcame" you!  I wouldn't want a triumphant
law firm running around here. -- Korbrizt Horon

A Captured Orc and an Ambitious Guard.  Two standbys in need of knocking down, and we
knocked 'em. -- Elinterri and Kestraline

Nose-Face Killer -- With a nose like that, YOU are the one who should be killed, not
the one who should kill.  Not even a mother could love that face.  Not even an orcish
mother, and us orcs aren't so particular about facial configuration as humans are.
But your teeth are pathetic, no tusks at all. -- Lugbruk
