                                    TEAM SPOTLIGHT

Going into the last 3 turns, we have a real barn burner going on here. We have seen 4 
different lead changes over the course of the contest with either La Guillotine or OAB 
involved in each of them.  This turn was no different.  La Guillotine entered Turn 7 
with an 11 point lead over OAB.  The turn ends with OAB taking a ONE (1) point lead 
over La Guillotine!!  The next turn is also a Slaughter Priest Memorial turn, so the 
Fates will once again guide the matchups.  Fortunes can change in a moment, and 
neither OAB nor La Guillotine can rest with Floyd in striking distance at 96 points.

Every effort has been made to score the turn correctly.  If you think there is an 
error, feel free to contact me.  I will research and correct as necessary.  Good luck 
to each of you in these final turns. A contest road map follows, along with current 
contest rankings, and upcoming scoring mechanisms for turns 8 and 9.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome STORMCROWE.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the fights 
have I fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  Bein' on top is great 
while it lasts, DARQUE FORCES.  But how many friends do you have now?  Who can 
explain it?  Not you, not me, not INTERNATIONAL's opponents, after watching them 
shoot up the ranks from 15th to 1st.  LEGENDS bit the big one as they could not win.  
They dropped from 10th down to 22nd!  Are you guy giving lessons or what?  It seems 
so recently people were saying HOWLIN SLAUGHTER was washed up, finished.  But 3-1-0 
moved them up 3.  I guess they're washed no more...  What's with A FUNKY NIGHTMARE?  
She actually beat GOING BERSERK's KURR, and walked away with 26 more points from the 
fight.  Major screwup at GOING BERSERK.  KURR lost 22 points to A FUNKY NIGHTMARE.  
Some new strategies, perhaps?  Maybe KURR will provide more easy wins...  RUNNING 
FREE was reminded on the sands why CHOPPER is Duelmaster.  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.  
STORMCROWE thinks MAIDEN JAPAN and their 97-119-4 is too much!  If at first you don't 
succeed, give up...  Management must be dealin', as the boys at INTERNATIONAL ain't 
reelin'!  MAIDEN JAPAN's mad!   
     A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing.  Some fighters 
don't accept this.  The best do.  ME THREE, with its forgettable 7-10-3,  was 
dispatched by PANIC ROOM in a forgettable match.  OTIS LIKES LUNGERS didn't seem to 
mind very much.  Yeah, yeah, THE FEVER DREAMER killed LITTLE GRR MAID, who was "too 
young to die."  Well, she was a fighter, and that's what you have to face.  Better to 
die a quick death in the prime of life than to endure an eternity of constant pain, 
eternal boredom...  Does OTIS LIKES LUNGERS agree?  The ultimate victory is one that 
results in death.  THE FEVER DREAMER of knows this.  Will DARQUE FORCES attempt a 
Bloodfeud?  Is CANDY CRUSHERS getting weak?  What sort of warriors let a comrade fall 
without getting revenge?  Times have changed...  Many a warrior has met his fate in a 
hungover stupor.  You young rapscallions, take note!   
     Who knows what the future holds for a warrior.  More fights, there's no doubt.  
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
