                                      SPY REPORT

     You elder fighters surely remember me.  The younger ones may call me Olaf 
Modeen.  I return to MORYA once again!  What's with BAWNER THE PURE?  He actually 
beat OTTO'S MECHANICS' MOE TORR, and walked away with 14 more points from the fight.  
Laughs were big at MORYA while they watched AMBITIOUS GUARD clobber GINGER EVANS.  
She lost 10 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands.  Try as he 
might, MAMBA wasn't good enough at persuading RABID YUPPIE to step down from the 
Duelmaster's throne...  Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to practice on?  I 
hear some team is looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.   
     If at first you don't succeed, avoid.  That'll get you in the Spyreports.  MORYA 
thinks BIG LAKE PURE and their 327-298-30 is too much!  If at first you don't 
succeed, give up...  The bums at OTTO'S MECHANICS couldn't face the challenges from 
BIG LAKE PURE!  No excuse for that!  What do people see in MAMBA?  His 16-8-1?  
SERPENTS HOLD ain't talkin', but he's got 92 points.   
     A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing.  Some fighters 
don't accept this.  The best do.  MOE TORR of OTTO'S MECHANICS didn't know when to 
quit.  When you've got a 7-5-0, that's a good sign.  Now he's dead.  Many a warrior 
has met his fate in a hungover stupor.  You young rapscallions, take note!   
     Well, I'm pretty much through.  You guys need to get back practicing.  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

Where: Lapur DM 29
When:  Turn 1000 -- August 6th, 2024 is the due date.

Announcing Lapur's 1000th turn. Over the past 38+ years many legendary fighters and 
managers have attended the Lapurian Arena. If you are one of those managers and have a 
inactive team, send them into fight for turn 1000. If you have a tourney team in Lapur 
and need some new recruits for the next tourney, send them in to fight in the Dark 
Arena on turn 1000. Load up the Dark Arena with a page full of fights in the 
newsletter and make it memorable. For this one turn join in and celebrate the arena's 
1000th. C'mon dust off your old Lapurian warriors and send them to fight during the 
day or night for turn 1000 on August 6th!
