                                      SPY REPORT

     You elder fighters surely remember me.  The younger ones may call me Olaf 
Modeen.  I return to MURSKA once again!  Bein' on top is great while it lasts, 
CHILDREN OF LLYR.  But how many friends do you have now?  What's with RABEL?  She 
actually beat URBAN JUNGLE's FROZEN IMAGE, and walked away with 20 more points from 
the fight.  Laughs were big at ON THE ROCKS while they watched RABEL clobber FROZEN 
IMAGE.  It lost 14 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands.  Try 
as he might, CONVICTED ASSASSIN wasn't good enough at persuading DECEMBRE 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.   
     Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges...  The most avoided team 
was URBAN JUNGLE.  The bums at ON THE ROCKS couldn't face the challenges from URBAN 
JUNGLE!  No excuse for that!  How well I know the feeling of being the most 
challenged warrior, KAILIE RHINN!  Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to 
haunt you.   
     There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit.  Do you want the fighters 
to walk away, or not?  Sending a warrior to the Dark Arena reminds the others they'd 
better shape up.  Tough beans, BANFF.  That's what a 18-12-4 gets you.  How long have 
I been here?  I got people to see, places to go...   
     Well, I'm pretty much through.  You guys need to get back practicing.  The end 
of another Spyreport!  That's cause for celebration in my book!  I don't want to 
overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

Decembre -- We leave this mountain town together for a life on the Isle.  You leave
as a winner and I as a petty loser. I do intend to leave with five kills, though,
which is a record for my manager and not too common overall, I've heard. -- Banff

All -- I leave you all now for a life on the Isle.  Don't know if I'm off to the Free
Blades arena or if it will be the new no-tourney arena.  My manager says I will train
for one big bust out in the Freshmen tourney.  Says he has designed me solely for
that purpose and that I will be a beast eventually.  Some of you have considered me a
beast already because of my many kills.  What most people don't know or have
forgotten was that three of them came against NPCs.  Good luck to you all in the
future and perhaps one day you will see me make Murska proud in the tourneys. --
Banff

Skadi -- If your manager gets his will about name changes through, I think he will
rename you Sandbagger. ;) -- Brackla

Madon Ap Llew -- Last turn was tough on strikers.  Must be the humidity and your
fancy for moving around too fast. -- Old Rip Van Winkle

Kelly Gall -- Another rock in your shoe, eh?  That's the third time in a row. --
Rabel

Sorry no personals today, really short on time. -- Jorja, Children of Llyr
