                                      SPY REPORT

     Much has changed in NIATOLI ISLAND since last I was here.  Never fear, Olaf 
Modeen adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters.  Bein' on top is 
great while it lasts, DEATH PENALTY.  But how many friends do you have now?  Phhbltt! 
Too much drinking and too little dodging gave HOMELAND SECURITY a 0-0-0!  I got a 
good laugh out of it!  Ya gotta be quick on yer feet!  Keep your elbow off the table! 
Thrust!  Block out the pain!  BAD COMPANY is now ranked 1st with a 4-1-1 turn.  It 
seems so recently people were saying RAVAGING LORDS was washed up, finished.  But 
4-1-0 moved them up 3.  I guess they're washed no more...  Laughs were big at DEATH 
PENALTY while they watched ONSLAUGHT clobber SPICOLI.  He lost 7 points and got 
bruised from objects thrown from the stands.  NIATOLI ISLAND has a Duelmaster who 
doesn't sit back and get lazy.  He Bloodfeuded DEATH PENALTY's PRIZE FIGHTER (2-1-1), 
which should prove (ahem!) interesting.  Try as she might, PRIZE FIGHTER wasn't good 
enough at persuading SNORK SLAYMORE 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.  How 
well I know the feeling of being in the most avoided team!  Don't fall out of 
practive, BIG LAKE BANDITS!  Management must be dealin', as the boys at BAD COMPANY 
ain't reelin'!  BIG LAKE BANDITS' mad!  How well I know the feeling of being the most 
challenged warrior, SPICOLI!  Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt 
you.  THE ANVIL expects the easy win by going 18 points down.  THIRD STRIKER will 
find this a hard lesson!  THE ANVIL defeated THIRD STRIKER.  RAVAGING LORDS calls 
this fighting?  In my day...  I hate going to the effort of writing about the kind of 
fights that KILMOR gets in.  He fights people like TEDDY NASH, 13 points below.  I 
thought KILMOR showed great skill and promise when he was killed by TEDDY NASH.  All 
right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit.  Do you want the fighters 
to walk away, or not?  KILMOR of NYE MAULERS didn't know when to quit.  When you've 
got a 7-5-2, that's a good sign.  Now he's dead.  Yeah, yeah, AMBITIOUS GUARD killed 
CHAMP CHILSNER, who was "too young to die."  Well, he was a fighter, and that's what 
you have to face.  PRIZE FIGHTER larned hers lesson (SNORK SLAYMORE taught it well), 
and we right likely won't be seein' 'im fight any BAD COMPANY members with the same 
gusto.  MR SMILES was plum wore out after VEXER pounded 'im silly in a Bloodfeud.  
BIG LAKE BANDITS'll have to get a little better before going after VEXER again!  How 
long have I been here?  I got people to see, places to go...   
     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.  I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen
