                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome BONSUR.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the fights have 
I fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  ESPANA showed BONSUR what 
they were made of as they fought with a vengeance to walk off with 4-1-2.  What's 
with LAGUNA LIL?  She actually beat UNDER JOLLY ROGER's DIKEMBE MUTUMBO, and walked 
away with 22 more points from the fight.  Laughs were big at BEACH BABES while they 
watched LAGUNA LIL clobber DIKEMBE MUTUMBO.  He lost 21 points and got bruised from 
objects thrown from the stands.  BONSUR has a Duelmaster who doesn't sit back and get 
lazy.  He Dark Arena Challenged DARK ARENA's WURM KIN (0-0-0), which should prove 
(ahem!) interesting.  The crowds were amazed this turn, as WURM KIN killed the 
Duelmaster, DILL WEED, leaving SUGAR AND SPICE in mourning.  So now CAT-IN-THE-HAT 
gets to be BONSUR'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.  The most avoided team was 
WASTELAND II.  The bums at UNDER JOLLY ROGER couldn't face the challenges from 
WASTELAND II!  No excuse for that!  What do people see in CAT-IN-THE-HAT?  His 
16-9-2?  UNDER JOLLY ROGER ain't talkin', but he's got 93 points.   
     There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit.  Do you want the fighters 
to walk away, or not?  PAULAMETTA, with hers forgettable 9-15-0,  was killed by VIEJO 
VERDE in a forgettable match.  BEACH BABES didn't seem to mind very much.  AMBITIOUS 
GUARD of BONSUR got 0 points for removing another young punk.  Tough luck, ESPANA!  
How long have I been here?  I got people to see, places to go...   
     Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors.  Any plans here?  
BONSUR is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places.  Time for my 
medication, so I'll leave now.  Practice, practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

ATTENTION ALL YOU ALLIANCE-TYPE PEOPLE:
For the purposes of tourney newsletter alliance listings (when I am able to do them),
you may only be listed in ONE alliance.  In other words, you have to choose!  If you
are a part of Englebert's Alliance and Englebert's Alliance is "part" of Ruthrauf's
Alliance, I will list you EITHER as part of Englebert's Alliance OR as part of
Ruthrauf's Alliance, NOT both.  The default would be the top-level alliance,
Ruthrauf's, in this example.  If you'd rather be listed separately, let me know and I
will do so, but that will be the only listing you get. -- The Saint, keeper of ever-
more-complicated lists
