                                      SPY REPORT

     You elder fighters surely remember me.  The younger ones may call me Olaf 
Modeen.  I return to SUNSET once again!  Woof!  LEGEND KILLERS were a bunch of dogs 
after THE OOZE ZONE got through with 'em!  6th ain't so sweet as 1st!  Phhbltt!  Too 
much drinking and too little dodging gave KENDER INVASION a 1-2-0!  I got a good 
laugh out of it!  Up 'n down.  Up 'n down.  Rankings always change.  Up 'n down.  I 
think I'm gonna be...  Well, THE OOZE ZONE's 1st moved them up to 4-1-1 place.  
What's with BAMBOOZLER?  He actually beat SEA SHANTIES' FLYING DUTCHMAN, and walked 
away with 36 more points from the fight.  Laughs were big at NOMADIC TRIBE while they 
watched STERLING SAVANT clobber FLASH.  He lost 13 points and got bruised from 
objects thrown from the stands.  Apparently SUNSET isn't filled with as many gutless 
wonders as I thought.  The Dreaded Duelmaster got 5 challenges this turn!  Another 
fighter (LITTLE FANG 18-18-0) challenged another Duelmaster (JASON OF ARGOS 12-8-0).  
Life goes on.  LITTLE FANG was reminded on the sands why JASON OF ARGOS is 
Duelmaster.  Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to practice on?  I hear some 
team is looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.   
     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, BIG LAKE 
TERROR!  Management must be dealin', as the boys at NOMADIC TRIBE ain't reelin'!  BIG 
LAKE TERROR's mad!  Keep challenging up 37 points, UNCHAINABLE, and I won't have to 
write about you much longer.  ARYAGATOR always accepts those kind of challenges...  
Who knows what was running through UNCHAINABLE's head, but ARYAGATOR rearranged it 
for him.  How soon will UNCHAINABLE make a challenge like that again?  Maybe BIG LAKE 
TERROR's DARK EMPATHY is one of those guys who likes pain, or something.  That's what 
he'll get next week, after challenging up 41 to MANNIN BLAK.  DARK EMPATHY bested 
MANNIN BLAK (DARK EMPATHY getting 20 points, too!)--Ooh baby!  Now dat I likes!  
Fighting is a better craft than farming, PINK SLIME, but you have to pay your dues.  
Being challenged by LEFTY MCGRIM, 20 points above you, is dues.  LEFTY MCGRIM's gonna 
be practicin' hard this week, after PINK SLIME, lower ranked by far, mashed him!   
     There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit.  Do you want the fighters 
to walk away, or not?  FLYING DUTCHMAN of SEA SHANTIES didn't know when to quit.  
When you've got a 14-14-0, that's a good sign.  Now he's dead.  SAMMY SLICK of THE 
OOZE ZONE got 15 points for removing another young punk.  Tough luck, KENDER 
INVASION!  GRAZ GREENBLADE, with his forgettable 6-8-0,  was dispatched by DRUNKEN 
SAILOR in a forgettable match.  NOMADIC TRIBE didn't seem to mind very much.  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?  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.  Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and 
good luck.  Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen
