                                      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.  Bein' on top is great 
while it lasts, THE RUNAROUND.  But how many friends do you have now?  What's with 
BUTTER THE BEST?  He actually beat THE RUNAROUND's GENERAL PATTERN, and walked away 
with 20 more points from the fight.  Major screwup at THE GOLDEN FISH.  TEH HADDOCK 
lost 18 points to FENZE.  Some new strategies, perhaps?  Maybe TEH HADDOCK will 
provide more easy wins...  I'm sure NIANIA is excited about HEAD CHEESE, the new 
Duelmaster from STINKY MEAT.  (remember?)  But when you've seen as many as I have...  
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 1031-1137-29 would 
scare me off!  What's the problem, 2ND DIRE LANCERS?  How well I know the feeling of 
being the most challenged warrior, CORTICAL GIANT!  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 LUCY gets in.  She fights people like GLITTERING REEF, 13 points below.  
I thought LUCY showed great skill and promise when she bested GLITTERING REEF.  All 
right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     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.  Time for my medication, so I'll leave now. 
Practice, practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

We salute the participants in the recent mail-in tourney with a special cheer for
numerous tourney victors:  Bold Mr. Wasabi, Gopher Baroque, Jormp Jumper, and Lucy.
-- Jorja and the Golden Fish

Three-two, and the steward who filled out the forms calls them "lucky."  Maybe not
all of them outright, but that's the underlying message.  He thinks we're worthless,
and it's all because Jorja refused to correct my name! -- THE Haddock
