                                      SPY REPORT

     You elder fighters surely remember me.  The younger ones may call me Olaf 
Modeen.  I return to WILLAF once again!  Woof!  SAXON were a bunch of dogs after 
WINDS OF HOPE got through with 'em!  2nd ain't so sweet as 1st!  What's with 
POWERWIND?  He actually beat PUNNY AMINALS' PALMER GREEN, and walked away with 24 
more points from the fight.  Major screwup at WINDS OF HOPE.  THIMBLEWIND lost 18 
points to SANDY POINT.  Some new strategies, perhaps?  Maybe THIMBLEWIND will provide 
more easy wins...  See how the Duelmaster Dark Arena Challenged DARK ARENA's BLACK 
ORC?  That sort of initiative is how he got where he is now.  Try as he might, BLACK 
ORC wasn't good enough at persuading NANOOK to step down from the Duelmaster's 
throne...  Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!   
     Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges...  How well I know the 
feeling of being in the most avoided team!  Don't fall out of practive, HARUCHAI!  
The bums at SATANS RABBITS couldn't face the challenges from HARUCHAI!  No excuse for 
that!  What do people see in PALMER GREEN?  His 16-37-1?  PUNNY AMINALS ain't 
talkin', but he's got 86 points.   
     A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing.  Some fighters 
don't accept this.  The best do.  Who will dare fight NANOOK, after he returned from 
the Dark Arena?  (For the record 17-4-2 is 144, and has he points) 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?  The 
end of another Spyreport!  That's cause for celebration in my book!  Time for my 
medication, so I'll leave now.  Practice, practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen
