                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, warriors of ARKERS!  Once again I've been called out of retirement 
for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting.  Woof!  YOU PAY I SLAY were a bunch 
of dogs after MIDDLE WAY 11 got through with 'em!  2nd ain't so sweet as 1st!  What's 
with LIONIK?  He actually beat MIDDLE WAY 11's KOTTER NAHL, and walked away with 18 
more points from the fight.  Major screwup at STAR HUNTER.  SILENT ONE lost 6 points 
to OCEAN SIZE.  Some new strategies, perhaps?  Maybe SILENT ONE will provide more 
easy wins...  What a role model for ARKERS' young 'uns!  IMA SLAYER becomes 
Duelmaster, but don't bother to fight no more!  I'm sure ARKERS is excited about 
PORT-A-FORTRESS, the new Duelmaster from THE CHOSEN.  (remember?)  But when you've 
seen as many as I have...  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.   
     There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit.  Do you want the fighters 
to walk away, or not?  Here's some advice:  study your opponent, master many skills, 
fight dirty.   
     Who knows what the future holds for a warrior.  More fights, there's no doubt.  
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
