                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome NIATOLI ISLAND.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the 
fights have I fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  What's with 
STRING BEAN?  He actually beat BIG LAKE BANDITS' GRU-SON OF GROTT, and walked away 
with 18 more points from the fight.  Major screwup at BIG LAKE BANDITS.  GRU-SON OF 
GROTT lost 10 points to STRING BEAN.  Some new strategies, perhaps?  Maybe GRU-SON OF 
GROTT will provide more easy wins...  Har har har!  Did THE MURDERER wimp out, or 
just get lazy?  Anyway, he's not Duelmaster anymore.  I'm sure NIATOLI ISLAND is 
excited about EGGPLANT, the new Duelmaster from VEGGIES.  (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.  How 
well I know the feeling of being in the most avoided team!  Don't fall out of 
practive, BAD COMPANY!  In my day, no team with a 251-243-31 would scare me off!  
What's the problem, RAVAGING LORDS?  How well I know the feeling of being the most 
challenged warrior, THE IMPOSER!  Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt 
you.  Taunt your opponent THE IMPOSER!  That was my lucky charm when I was unfairly 
challenged.  (and by 24 points!)  THE ANVIL should have an easy win.  THE ANVIL 
bested THE IMPOSER.  RAVAGING LORDS calls this fighting?  In my day...   
     There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit.  Do you want the fighters 
to walk away, or not?  Hmm...  More surprises must remain in store for me, if 
EGGPLANT can return from the Dark Arena.  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.  Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and 
good luck.  Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen

All -- I've been...out of circulation for the last couple of months, and my lists
are not up to date.  If you've announced a manager name, a new alliance, or changed
a manager name or alliance since the middle of February, let me know in the ads, via
diplo, or in an e-mail (Sue (at) solberg-mathews (dot) com).  For that matter, if
you just want to make sure I've got things right, you can always do the same. -- The
Saint, keeper of lists
